Good Facility

My only concern is that their prices have gone up every year that my relative has been there. However, Yes, I'd recommend a Bungalows to anyone. The staff has been very nice and informed me if there's ever been an issue with my relative. They do a good job keeping the residents active.

It is nice little clean space that has lots of little entertaining rooms. I seems he get more attention there Not particularly this place, but all these places have increased their prices dramatically over the past 4 or so years. I would definitely recommend The Bungalows at Riverchase.

Great little community

We have really enjoyed our time at the Bungalows at Riverchase. The place is very well maintained and it's more like a hotel than a nursing facility. The smallness of the facility really helps our mother. I would highly recommend it.

I do think this facility is a good choice. The staff are friendly and seem to take care of my mom. It is a small home, so they are not tasked to take care of so many residents. The food is enjoyable. Overall, I think they are a good fit for my mom.

Review for The Bungalows at Riverchase

My mom was in a four story resort style independent living facility with all the bells and whistles, pool, elevators, pool room, etc...and it was nice, but it was too big and not personal. I love the attention my mom gets at Bungalows. I love that there are only 35 residence at the most and they are a tight nitched community. The staff is friendly and the director, [name removed] works very hard to make sure your loved one is taken care of in the way they should be. They still have all the bells and whistles, but on one floor, close to other neighbors. If my mom is happy, then I am happy.

Friend of a loved one

We visit a friend of many years at the Bungalows. This place just blows us away everytime we visit. The building is very clean and always smells great. The people there are very friendly and it seems like a big happy family. Me and my wife have even talked about oneday moving there. Our good friend and her family love it there. The outdoor spaces they have is beautifully decorated and makes you feel very peaceful. They have flowers everywhere. They do a great job of making it feel like a HOME instead of a nursing facility. We don't know the workers by name but they have good ones. The lady at the front is very friendly, the maintenance man is very nice and is always helping people. The residents seem to always be having fun. Keep it up Bungalows.

The food is low budget and consistently bad. For [amount removed] rent they should be eating steak not ham and cheese sandwiches. Activities: bingo called by a computer then nothing. Everything they ever schedule is early in the day so after lunch there is nothing. All the residents are bored to tears. Other: They have bad staff turnover and use a lot of agency staff. Changed administrators 3 times in our 4 months there. 3 of those months her shower was out of service and she was not provided or aided with an alternative. 3 falls while there.

I don't know if the lady that met us to give the tour was having a bad day but, she wasn't very nice to start with. My sister is 4'11" and she was looking down at her like she smelled bad. We looked at each other, told her goodbye and left.

Friendly staff, a great community, we love the feel of it - except could step it up a notch in some areas

The Bungalows is a very nice community, its a great place and we would recommend them to other families. The staff members are very nice. However when it comes to the meals we think they could step it up a notch - sometimes its really good others not so much. Also the activities could be improved - there could be more of a variety to participate in and be more frequent.

Very friendly, helpful and courteous staff. They take good care of all the residents. Good food and activities. They keep both the inside and outside of the facility very clean. Since I live out of town, the staff is always helpful whenever I call to see how my relative is doing. If there is ever an issue they call me immediately.

In general I think they do a good job at Morningside of Riverchase. The facility itself is clean, and the staff are friendly. Considering they are a fairly newly opened facility, they have some issues to work through. More activities should be planned for the residents, such as organized shopping day trips.

Can't say enough good things!

All in all, these folks are wonderful! They honestly are! My mother was so afraid of moving into this place and of what a big change it was and she had to give up a lot, but they really came to her just like angels! They treat her wonderfully! And if she's got any questions or complaints, they jump on it. For example, she told me-about someone who'd blow their nose into the cloth napkins, they'd launder them but my mom wasn't gonna have it, and she told them that, so they started providing Kleenex to all the tables so no one would have to blow into napkins anymore! My mom's birthday happened recently and they all made an effort to say happy birthday to her and make sure she was happy. If she has any kind of depressed mood they sit with her and talk, if she has any concerns beyond what they can handle/discuss they call me. Morningside is incredible, they really are phenomenal and top-notch for the price and for everything they do and they make it easy! Another time, when my mom was moving in, the activity director went the extra mile, and hung curtains for her! I'm very, very pleased with Morningside and the way they take care of their residents, and their professional attitude about everything is really awesome! There is no damage to the building and it's very clean, the meals are great, and the staff all knows me by name. I couldn't be happier; they are taking fabulous care of my mom and I'm confident any complaints I would have would be taken care of.
