Metta Senior Living

They do a great job taking care of their residents at Avery Place, I have nothing but good things to say about them. It's a nice looking, clean community, and the staff have all been very friendly. My loved one has settled in well, and they seem to be taking great care of her!

From the moment my brothers, mother, and I stepped through the front door of Regency Retirement Village we knew it was the place for mom to live. The community consultant was so welcoming, friendly and answered all our many questions. For the past five months that mom has lived at Regency the management and staff have always been ready to meet mom's needs and talk to our family if we ever have any questions, etc. The facility is very clean and accommodating. Our family feels that mom is in a very safe environment which is a big relief. I highly recommend Regency Retirement Village to anyone seeking a warm, caring, and friendly place to live.

My house became a burden. My family and I started looking for senior living. I toured Regency and I knew this was the place for me and a place I could call home. I live in their Independent living and I feel good that I still have my independence. Choosing Regency was the best thing for me. I would recommend Regency Retirement Village to anyone.

I recommend Regency Retirement Village of Tuscaloosa to anyone. It is a really good place to be at this point in my husband's and my life. The staff is tremendous and very accvommodating to our needs. We have quick response to any request. The cleaning service is excellent and maitenance always goes above and beyond.

Moved both parents from their small hometown to Regency to be closer to family. The staff helped make this a smooth transition for both parents and children. Staff helped in more ways than can ever be listed. Staff made parents feel welcome and let them play a part of the decision process. No pressure or rush. From administration to support staff, all address my parents by name and know our family when we come to visit. Facility is always VERY clean and well decorated. The level of care is excellent. The staff has made arrangements to meet all requests may parents have made, without any complaints. From weekly trips to Wal-mart to weekly church services, to groups coming in to share, there is always something available for parents to do. We decided on Regency in Tuscaloosa after looking at many other facilities in Huntsville and Tuscaloosa. Glad we did. If we had to do again, we would undoubtedly make this same choice!

They were fabulous, they took excellent care of my mom, right up until she passed away. They were so attentive to her. I would highly reccommend them to anyone. From the director to the daily caregiving staff they were all very attentive and very caring I couldn't have asked for any better care for my mom.

It was a great place! It worked out very well for us economically with the budget we had. I could not have asked for any better caregivers for my mom for her last couple of months. They were absolutely excellent. She really liked the activities and she went down and did a lot of things, she just kind of got bad quickly. The only thing she wasn't too happy about was she didn't think their food was all that great but she complained about the food at the other palces she was at too.

Such helpful and caring staff! We had to select a home and move my mother in during COVID-19 quarantine but staff made it as easy as humanly possible without compromising anyone’s health. She says everyone is so sweet to her, loves them like daughters!

Mom loves all the activities and the small community is perfect for her. She is more involved and engaged than at her previous Assisted living facility. I appreciate the fact that it is closer to my house and have enjoyed joining in the activities.

I would encourage anyone in need of assistance to visit Avery Place, they are truly top notch.

Our experience with Lanier Place has been far beyond our expectations. We had been concerned that my mother-in-law would resist the change from our house to her new home. She adjusted amazingly well, quickly enjoying meals and social events with her new friends. The staff members were attentive and friendly, as well. Any question or concern has been met with a prompt response and satisfying results. I like that Lanier Place isn't too large and it isn't too small. It proved to be the right decision for us and we enjoy our visits, not only with my mother-in-law, but with other residents as well. Lanier Place has become like our extended family.

I have no complaints of how things are going for my loved one since they moved into this community. The staff have all been great and have been accommodating her needs as best as they can. She has had no complaints about the meals and I see her slowly starting to get out of her room more and be more social. Overall we are very pleased and would recommend it to anyone.

Our family decided to place Mom in another facility due to geographical issues. However, I would like to stress that Country Gardens Lanier is a very well organized, efficiently run assisted living home with kind, caring individuals. It was a pleasure meeting with staff and learning about what they offer.

The moment I walked into the facility (unexpected) I felt a warmth and homey feeling. The staff is wonderful!!! My mother moved there from another facility and has improved daily since being at Avery Place. Maria handles all of the paper work with such a willingness and anything my Mom needs she gets. Matt and Cassidy were very kind when they came and assessed my Mom and welcomed her to Avery. The food is very good and nutritious, they have great activities. My Mom's apartment is always clean. I just can't find any complaints at all, we are very blessed my Mom is there.

He seems to be doing good there. The staff is going a great job and things are coming along.

The people at Regency are what makes this place great. Lots of activities and personal attention for the residents.

My mom has Alzheimer's and her needs are beyond what my sister or I can provide at home. The structure and supervision by the caring staff at Regency have provided mom a better quality of life than home care would. As a nurse, I know how important it is to carefully monitor behaviors and changes so that care is provided according to changing needs. The nursing staff are very good at communicating changes and keeping me well informed. They take my suggestions and observations, take action on them, and make me feel a part of her care. One observation I have had is that the staff is pretty stable and seem to enjoy working there. I have not seen a lot of staff turnover since my mom has been living there and I think many staff are full time. My previous experience in facilities in this area has been that there were many part time staff and a lot of turnover. Stable staffing is crucial to dementia care. The activities provided keep residents engaged according to their abilities. I cannot emphasize enough how I feel when I see caregivers giving one on one attention to a resident who is having a bad day. I especially like that mom has a chance for spiritual enrichment as well through church services and other activities. Knowing her spiritual needs are considered important in her overall care is very reassuring to me. The facility is clean and well cared for. The staff from the community consultants, director, activities coordinator, and maintenance staff are friendly and willing to assist whenever I need it. And above all, I see the facility trying to improve services and care offered the residents. That is super important to me, because it means they want to provide residents and families the best care possible!

Overall, it was a very good experience. Staff was very helpful, answered all my questions, addressed the issues I had. My husband came into the facility as a Hospice patient and I appreciate the extra support. He does require a lot of care. Safety was and is my biggest issue as he is a high fall risk. They are very much aware of this. My husband is eating well, never misses a meal. The room he is in is considered a "studio" size room. It is adequate. But has very little storage in it. He does not shower in his bathroom, they take him to a shower room. That space where the shower is, I now have a metal cabinet in there for additional storage, which helps. The one negative I have to mention is that there are several items of clothing or shoes that are missing from his room. The doors are not locked and other patients seem to wander in and out of all rooms. I have addressed this issue with the staff, and they are on the lookout for his items. That's why it was so important to label everything we brought in.

Lotus Village has been wonderful with a couple of hiccups which I'm sure are normal. My mother loves it there which is 95% of the battle when transitioning. So we very pleased and in the whole scope of all AL and Memory care facilities are EXPENSIVE...I think we chose well for the cost.

Had a couple of problems with scheduling the bus and my mom says the food was just ok. The staff was great. I would recommend it to others. I thought it had a lot to offer for a reasonable price.
