Homeland Assisted Living Facility in Jemison, AL
5.0

My parents have been here almost a year. The staff and owner are friendly and have genuine concern for the residents. They get to know the residents, so when something is not right (mentally/physically) they know and can address it quickly. It’s never easy for a person to transition from independent living to having to have help and live by a different set of rules but the folks at Homeland work day-in and day-out to make that transition as easy as possible. We have had a few issues here and there, but when brought to the owner’s attention, they were handled quickly, professionally and to our complete satisfaction. I would highly recommend Homeland to anyone seeking assisted living for their loved ones.

Kirkwood by the River in Birmingham, AL
5.0

My parents moved into Kirkwood by the River 9 years ago and I've NEVER had a complaint about anything. This is the best run and kindest retirement place anyone could ever find. The entire staff are kind, thoughtful, patient and courteous. A wonderful place in a great setting with Christian beliefs and attitude!!
