14 Assisted Living Communities in Madison County, Alabama

Brookdale Jones Farm was nice. It's an older community that's been in Huntsville for a while, and their rooms didn't have a large balcony, but it was nice sized. I think they're going to do some renovations on it. The staff was also very helpful and kept in touch afterwards. From what I saw, it looked like Brookdale Jones Farm was a clean facility.

We love Redstone (Redstone Village). It's a nice place. My mother is in the memory care facility. It's beautiful and I think it's quite unique. There are a lot of activities for the residents and they're very kind. They have people come in to do therapy, there's ice cream in the afternoon, and singers and performers who come in. They have an ice cream bar and they have a little store where the residents can look around. The food seems to be good and the dining area is a very nice common area where they gather all the time. The staff is amazing.

My mom moved into Redstone Village about two months ago. It's very clean. There are very nice people who work hard to help the people with their memories. It's a newer facility, so it doesn't have that old feel to it. There's a private bathroom in each room, a closet for clothes, and the dining room outside the room. There are activities throughout the week.

I chose Redstone Village because it's clean and elegant, and the staff is very caring. We also already had a good experience with them with another family member. People would come in and do concerns and crafts with the residents, travel to local businesses, do games, and pretty much whatever activities you'd like to do. They have a chef, and the food is wonderful.

My mother is moving into Merrill Gardens at Madison. I like the people there quite a lot and the food is great. It also has nice interiors. The food was the best I had from any facility in the area. The managers seem OK and don't seem so money oriented. It's kind of located on the highway. She has a room with a huge balcony, it's quiet in the back there, and it overlooks some houses, and I was happy with that. They're very helpful. I went there unannounced and they immediately showed me around and I didn't expect to get that kind of service. Everything is very good there.

My mother is in Merrill Gardens at Madison, and it's an absolutely beautiful place. The staff is very good, clean her room once a week, and check on them to make sure they go to bed on time. The residents push a button to indicate that they're fine before they go to bed and do it again when they wake up. They have a beautiful dining room and do all kinds of activities, like make welcome baskets for the new people who come in. It's the first time I heard my mom say she loved anything, especially food-wise. They have shuttles to take you to the church or to the doctors', and they're constantly busy with the people there.

Steve

My mom will be moving from the assisted living to the memory care portion of Merrill Gardens. It's a very bright and sunny place. They have an excellent patient to nurse ratio. They are very happy, and there's a low turnover. The grounds are beautiful, and it's really convenient to me. All the rooms in memory care are studios that are pretty spacious, clean, and well-maintained. They are actually $1,000 less than the others per month, and it's the most reasonably priced.

Susan

Redstone was a very nice facility, and it was laid out very well. I saw people playing Bingo and things like that. The rooms were very nice, and the dining room was very upscale. The person that assisted me did an excellent job.

Cathy B April 13, 2015 1 Beware I do not recommend Clare Bridge since the night before my mom was suppose to move in, she collapsed, was hospitalized, and could not move in. She was now not a candidate for this facility so we wanted to annul the contract which we only had signed out of convenience the day before on a Saturday. They would not and informed us that we would still be responsible for 7 days even though no services were given to my mom since she never moved in. The rest was suppose to be refunded which took almost 5 months-no apology was ever given for the delay. They have a huge communication problem. After all this stress and the hassles of phone calls never being returned, we are still out $786. I feel they took advantage of my mom's declining health and made a clear profit of $786 since no services were ever rendered for my mom. Clare Bridge is very unprofessional and unethical
