“I enjoy being here, and I don't have any complaints. Everybody's nice, and if I need anything I go to the front desk and they help me. I worked so many years, and here I don't have to clean or cook. The dining staff are doing a good job, and the housekeepers are all nice and do a great job. It's a good place, and I wouldn't have any hesitation recommending it.”

“I think it's a wonderful place. I love it here, I love the people who work here, and I love the people who live here; they made me feel at home right away. Management is always helpful and gracious. The activities I've attended have been fun, like the music, bingo, seated volleyball, and a monthly ladies' luncheon we stand in line for. Maintenance has been really helpful, even hanging my art lamp from the ceiling, and our driver is great. I recommend it to people coming in to look at the place.”

The staff were very polite and would assist you with anything you wanted them to and they offered a variety of activities. If you wanted to listen to music or play cards, whatever you wanted to do it was offered at one time or another.”

“My loved one lived at the community, and it was a great place to live. The management had great communication, and they were always willing to help. He was always happy with the meals provided. He loved the music entertainment things that they would have come through. That was always his favorite. He never had to have anything repaired in his apartment, so that was nice as well. The transportation provided by the community was great. They were always punctual and friendly. The care staff were very friendly overall as well.”

“The management makes sure that everything runs very smoothly for all of us residents. I have really enjoyed the activities like going to mass and chair volleyball. My housekeeping is always timely, she comes in and washes the sheets, cleans the room, puts the sheets in the dryer and then makes my bed, you just can't beat that!”

Elaine LambardAug 2024

“I'm from the area originally so I had a lot of information to fall back on.

“We were in a very tight situation of timeframe when looking for a place for my dad. They went above and beyond trying to help us get everything done, all t's crossed and i's dotted. I couldn't say better things for them. The thing that stood out was all the employees knew all the residents. They greeted them, they smiled and joked around with them. It was a much more friendly community feeling than other places.”

★★★★★

“The management always met our needs in a very friendly and efficient manner. Michelle Suggs was over the sales and she was extremely helpful for us and really helped us make the transition. Her service maybe the main reason why we moved there because she did such a good job explaining it and showing us everything that was available and making sure we met the people and were acclimated to the community. The food was so good and the servers were friendly and always met our needs. The housekeepers were efficient and fast and did a good job. Sam Montgomery the maintenance director was outstanding. He met our needs in a timely manner and he was always friendly. Sam Montgomery is the best thing they have there. The transportation staff were dependable and good drivers and always on time. We always do recommend them. We are a great advocate of this community.”

ADPH posts each survey’s Statement of Deficiencies as a PDF (older ones are scans, which we read by OCR). From each report we show the deficiency tags, the rules they cite, ADPH’s own one-sentence finding and the complaint outcomes ADPH states; each cited rule is named in the rule’s own words (Alabama Administrative Code, chapter 420-5-4 for assisted living and 420-5-20 for specialty care assisted living). The report, and the facility’s plan of correction when ADPH posts it, are the official record. Some reports list a complaint as substantiated with no deficiency cited; we show both as ADPH wrote them. This community is licensed for 56 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.
