6 Best Nursing Homes in Higdon, AL

I was extremely pleased with Ascension. The establishment, as well as the patients, were always very clean. I never detected any smells or odors -- and I have a keen sense of smell! They were communicative, helpful, and caring from my first visit until my Mom's death. My mom suffered from dementia, and was in the memory care unit. The staff was awesome, and during her stay there, the patient/staff ratio was such that, in my opinion, she received top notch care. Even though Covid was on the decline while she was there, I had to call ahead to schedule visitation, but was never denied, and I could call anytime during the day or night to check on her. I visited a couple of other places before deciding on Ascension, and they all paled miserably in comparison to Ascension. It was just the place I was looking for, and I would highly recommend it. Ascension was exactly what I was looking for.

There will be things you would like to be different, but after all this is not meant to be the home you created with your family. It is a next step in life. They need to spend a little more time cleaning the social area and keeping the laundry room clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful. There are limited activities, but what is offered is fun and well organized. I think the pricing is fair for what we get here.

Friendly, caring staff & residents!! Mom’s new apt is big & beautiful! Her cat loves it too. Mom wasn’t moving anywhere without her fur baby. Love the cafe, no cafeteria lines there! It’s peaceful & quiet! After the hustle & bussle of raising a family & working, this is exactly where you want to go after retiring. There’s always activities throughout the day & movies every night. Mom has a lot of new friends, back to being a social butterfly and so happy!!
