Recent reviews of Memory Care in West Highlands, AL
Fair Haven Retirement Community in Birmingham, AL
4.0

There have been some issues with the billing but I'm having a meeting with them this week to get that resolved. Based on our experience I would recommend them.

Kirkwood by the River in Birmingham, AL
4.5

This community offers a lot of activities and they do have entertainers come in. The community is beautiful. Dad seems to like the food and they accommodate his dietary likes. The staff are encouraging, friendly and we have good communication. I would recommend this community.

Brookdale University Park in Homewood, AL
4.9

I would definitely recommend Brookdale University Park. The staff is very friendly and we feel we get honest helpful feedback from them. Though my mom is always wanting to "go home", she is satisfied and has become close to and comfortable with the staff. They are always coming to get her to take her to activities...which are always fun and well thought out. We do have additional hired help during the day, but that is just due to my mom's special needs. The food is fine, but my mom is just picky and doesn't always eat. She and my brother enjoy going out to eat, so I think she may just be a little spoiled (as well she should be). Bottom line, with all the different places we've tried, we would choose Brookdale University Park over all of the others.
