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!!

Fair Haven Retirement Community in Birmingham, AL

There have been some issues with the billing but I'm having a meeting with them this week to get that resolved. Based on our experience I would recommend them.

Somerby at St. Vincent's One Nineteen in Hoover, AL
5.0

I am currently a resident at Somerby at St. Vincent's One Nineteen and everything has been just excellent for me at this facility. The staff at this facility are all superb. The cleanliness and friendliness are excellent. The meals, activities and value for cost are great. Due to personal issues, I am not going to be able to stay at this facility. However, this place is an excellent retirement center and I would highly recommend it to others.
