Independent Living Community in Mobile County, Alabama

Debra

The room I saw at Gordon Oaks Senior Living Community was adequate. The dining room was nice and had chandeliers and round tables. They had a courtyard, a pool, a sitting area and trees, so it was shady. The staff was nice. There were people playing cards from the over 55 community across the street. The residents were having lunch when I was there, but they said they had activities.

It was really nice. The apartments were like residential living and very open, and I like that it had a door to the outside from your room. It was more independent living. They had a nice veranda with rocking chairs. They had a retail event going on when I was there. There were different items for sale, there were arts and crafts on the wall, and they had visitors for dinner to celebrate Mother's Day. The dining area was nice and open and reminded me of a cruise ship dining room. They had a hair salon.

Knollwood Pointe was very nice. The rooms were very spacious and clean. I saw a reading class and a Bible class going on. They showed me a single and a double room. The facilities were very good, and they had a courtyard.

I would not recommend Somerby of Mobile, they're very aggressive in their marketing, but you have to be pretty independent, which is more than what my mother is, for that facility. I saw one room, and it was nice and comparable in size. The staff was fine, I didn't see any nursing staff, and that was the deciding factor for me, and one of the main things for me is that they have enough people to take care of their level of care. The building and amenities are over the top.

My mom lives at Gordon Oaks. They bend over backwards to help me. Mom is happy there. The place is clean and beautiful. The staff is really good with my mom. The food's good enough and they have a variety of country cooking. I can visit 24/7 if I like. My mom's room is first class and large, like a suite. It's an older place, but it's been remodeled, kept up, and they repainted my mom's room. They redid the whole air-conditioning system, and they put in a new carpet. In the memory care section there are not that many activities.
