Nursing Home Communities in Montgomery, AL

"My friend has been in this facility for a while. I can see a difference in the building when I visit her now. A lots of new people who really seem to care. My friend is always nice and clean when I visits with her. "

"I thought HealthSouth Rehabilitation did a really good job; I liked it. The place was clean; the staff seemed to be attentive. The physical and occupational therapists were both very helpful and really helped get my mom going after a couple of weeks. "

"I went to visit a friend in Capitol Hill Healthcare Center. It was a good experience. The staff was very friendly. When they were handling my friend and doing things for her, they were very gentle, and they seemed very patient and fun. She was there for rehabilitation for maybe three months after a surgery. She actually enjoyed her time there, and she liked the people. The facility was clean visually, but it smelled. Being closed in, you could smell the food cooking from the kitchen, and it smelled of cleaning products, so it was unpleasant to me. I got used to it after being there a little while, but it smelled. There were two wings shaped like a U, and there was a courtyard in the middle where the people could go. The building was older, but it was very well maintained and clean, and the people had the option of watching TV, playing games, or having tea on the courtyard, so it was nice."

"My father was at Prattville Health And Rehabilitation for about 3 weeks. It wasn't that the CNA staff wasn't capable, it was that they had too many patients. They weren't able to take care of the patients. I had to stay with my father 24/7 round the clock for him to receive what I consider appropriate care. The rehabilitation people, the physical therapists, and the occupational therapists were wonderful. It was just that the place was understaffed. The building and the facilities needed to be updated. My father's room was acceptable. I wouldn't call it anything extravagant. The food was also fair. Some days were better than others, but they were adequate. Their idea of an activity was to roll the elderly people in the middle of a tiny room and watch TV. Half of them were lethargic and smelled like urine. Overall, the staff was nice and seemed capable. But they change my father at 5:00 in the afternoon when they bring him his supper tray and the next morning at 6:00, the supper tray is still there. He's supposed to be changed every 2 to 3 hours. And if I had not been there, he would be sitting in a soiled bed. It was not acceptable, and that happened more than once. And on the weekends, it was really bad. There were no RNs there. There was an LPN that sat at the nurse's station and the rest of them were CNAs. The LPN never did any work. The CNAs did the work and some of the CNAs had anywhere upwards to 18 patients, and that's not acceptable. We had some good CNAs, it's just that they couldn't get around to everyone."

"We toured Wetumpka Health and Rehabilitation. The condition of the rooms was very clean, but I felt they needed some upgrades. They were very informative. The nurses I encountered were all very caring, answered all my questions, and had very good bedside manner with my husband. However, I felt the facility itself needed some upgrades. Their dining area was huge and very nice. It was largely decorated with things that the residents there had made. The food is very good, too. They have very nice common areas, but I think they could have probably added more activities."

"The Gables was very nice. The dining room was adequate. It was well maintained and fairly new. The room we saw was nice. It had a separate bedroom and sitting room, and it was set up more like an apartment. The staff who gave me the tour was very helpful. The outdoor space seemed more concrete than green. It was more institutional, but it was very clean."

"I stayed here under a VA contract I was weak and unable to care for myself they provided me with therapy I am now strong enough that I was able to go home. The staff is friendly and treat you with the utmost respect and care you are not a number to them but a fellow human they take their time and don't rush the food is very good and always ask if you are full. If I had to go back to a nursing home this is the one I would choose."

"New Day Senior Care seemed to be okay. I have a friend staying there. Their rooms are nice. You can choose a room with scenery if you want to. The food there seemed pretty good. They have a lot of activities but she just don't participate. They have a calendar on the wall of thing that they would be doing. "

"My friend is currently in this facility and although she said some of the nurse practitioners and CNAs are ok most are lazy and some are downright rude. They run out of her meds, the food Is often cold when served and the very large wound on her leg is supposed to be cleaned and dressed daily but sometimes it goes 3 or 4 days without being taken care of. She has complained of chest pain and they do nothing to find out what has caused it. She has congestive heart failure and chest pain could mean something serious is going on. I would never send anyone to this facility, they need a good shake down from the director all the way down the line of employees. I'm old school, I believe if you take a job you should perform all you duties to the very best of your ability and not just go through the motions just enough to keep the job and collect a pay check."

"My grandmother stayed at Orchard Healthcare Center for five days. I was pleasantly surprised with how attentive their staff was and how they were willing to reach out to me constantantly to update me. The environment seemed a lot more homely than other nursing homes that I've toured. It seemed remotely clean in most of the common areas. My grandmother came home in good spirits, happy, and in good health, so I won't complain. They help with bathing, dressing, medicine, and lunchtime. My grandmother had Medicare insurance that paid for her."
