Recent reviews of Independent Living in Shorter, AL
Oak Grove Inn in Montgomery, AL
4.5 / 5.0

Based on the experience I have had so far, the staff members working there are very helpful and surrounding. However they have some areas they could improve on so on the moment, I would maybe recommend this community to other families.

The Crossings at Eastchase in Montgomery, AL
4.4 / 5.0

It is a beautiful space with a very helpful staff. The staffs were lovely everywhere we went, but this facility was the nicest. Spacious and light and it smelled better. Overall a newer, fresher look. Also it allows more freedom for the residents at meal time. No assigned time or seat and a variety of food to choose from.

Country Cottage - Montgomery
4.6 / 5.0

Very well -kept, beautiful outdoor / garden area. The Administrative Staff (management) are so wonderful! Very friendly, informative and communicative about your loved one. The room could be bigger (we selected a smaller one for various reasons) but we make it work and I encourage Mom to spend more time out of her room socializing, & taking advantage of the facility. I wish they did more activities , at least 1 or 2 per week, but when they do the group activities, they are wonderful. I just wish they would have everyone get together and do something ... Things like a balloon toss, or just something that gets them moving more, and bonding together at the same time. And entertaining the residents a little more bc I feel most are alone most of the time and would benefit from these types of inexpensive activities .
