10 Best Nursing Homes in Hampton, AL

The Summer Village community has made our loved one get more socially involved which we very nice. So far our loved one has not complained about the food, so from our understanding its pretty good.

I have left Summer Village for several reasons. First, I'm doing better and don't need that level of support. The cost jumped a bit more than expected, and other residents told me that was the second increase in a year. I didn't get hit with the first because I was still under lease. The quality of the food and available choices had deteriorated markedly. I chose the apartment I did because I had the option to glass in the screened patio for a sewing room. When I moved in, I discovered a leak in the patio roof, so I was unable to proceed with my plan. It was never fixed during the 13 months I was there. Maintenance was so overworked they could not complete small jobs they had agreed to. Housekeeping was supposed to come in weekly, but often came at much longer intervals, up to a month sometimes. Since I no longer felt the need for their supportive services, I was able to find a very nice apartment back in Columbus for a little over 1/3 the cost of Summer Village, which allowed me to take on the additional cost of Electricity and food without difficulty and still save something for emergencies. I'm loving my new place and getting back into the swing of cooking for myself, which is having a positive effect on my health. While I would still recommend Summer Village for someone whose needs require that level of support, I feel that I'm way to independent of their community.

Rates have increased much more than we expected after year one (10%). Be sure to get everything you are promised in writing. It took us 11 months to get our billing correct from corporate. We have experienced what I would call higher than expected turnover in personnel. With all that said, the staff is very loving and have cared for mother well.
