National Church Residences

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. I looked at a few communities in the area and this one stood out to me as being very nice! The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional.

We thought that this was more of an assisted living community and our dad would not be a good fit for this community with out mom. But we did like it, and the people were very nice. It was a bit messy, so we weren't impressed with the look of the community, however we believe that it was under construction to be remodeled when we looked at it. They take pride in their activity program, some of the residents were involved in a parade when they were there. The room that they were showed was very big. I couldn't really judge the value or the care services.

Loved this place! Of course its all new. They seemed to have a lot available. Very clean.

I'm really digging the facility so far. I like the amenities and everything.

The nurses are very good about calling me when there has been a change in my mother's routine, medication, or behavior. The nurses and aides are friendly and calm, even when redirecting residents who become confused or angry. Cleanliness is average; when in a shared room, clothes are easily mixed up. My mother lost two hearing aides. Be aware that after new renovations (2014), there will no longer be a secured (locked) unit for residents who try to leave. I was told my mother must find another facility because she does try to leave and there will be no safe place for her. This has been upsetting to the family. There is a disconnect between administrative decisions and family. The activities directors work very hard to offer all residents a variety of interesting choices. They always welcomed my granddaughters to join in any activity. My mother has been there two years, and almost all the staff know her, smile when they see her, and call her by name.

We did a tour back in September and really liked the facility but was a little farther than where my mother wants to be.

Seems like a very nice a & caring place, unfortunately they require that you guarantee that she has 4 years worth of private funding before Medicaid takes over. Which would be approx $350K. Very disappointing.

It was very nice but it was just too expensive for my mother-in-law.

I guess any place you go you always hate paying all that money but I think they've been very good. My mother-in-law has only been there like 3 months so we're all sort of still settling in. We were just notified that we're going to have a care of action place. I think that's wonderful. A lot of places don't do that. We get a lot of communications from them regarding how my mother-in-law is doing. I just got a letter from them today asking if it was okay for her to participate in a new activity so they keep us up to date on what they're doing. The physical therapy and occupational therapy are coninuting right there. It's nice that they have so many things available there. She's getting her eyes checked by a doctor there. It's good because I don't have to take her out for those things and these doctors are used to dealing with older people.

My tour guide was extremely informative, and made me feel comfortable. Received application and was interested in the one bedroom which was moderate in size. Totally understood my needs.(Possibility)

This is on the short list. Swimming,theater, activities,memory care,nursing-skilled

We chose Inniswood Village because my dad liked the serene setting and he already had physical and occupational therapist who were with the same organization, so we were with the same caregivers. The apartment sizes here are good as well.

The community does not require a lease and they have a healthcare service here where the healthcare professional comes to the community for any appts or if anyone needs to be seen. I would recommend this community to others

I am currently a resident at Madison Manor Apartments. My apartment was NOT move-in ready. Nothing had been cleaned, no painting was done. The stove, hood and fridge had to be replaced. There is dry-rotted stained caulking in the bathroom. Mold on the bathroom vanity. All of the countertops are stained. Everything here is 40-50 yrs old. General house-keeping for the building is good. They don't provide meals, we feed ourselves. Maintenance responds quickly, but the guy that's been coming to fix my issues doesn't know what he's doing. However, it's quiet here, surrounded by woods. There's deer everywhere and l can see the stars at night.

The reason we gave the overall experience a 3 is more so due to our loved ones attitude. The staff members are receptive and helpful. What we like the most is the location of First Community Village, the staff was very friendly, and tried to accommodate my mom's needs as best they could, reaching out to her, making suggestions, inviting her to events, etc.

This place has really gone down hill since December 2022. A lot of people quit In The end of December and never got replaced. The rent went up while quality went way down.

Our family had an in person tour and it was a nice experience but from everything we saw we just new it was not going to be the place for our loved one.

The friendliness of the staff members varies a lot. The help is good but the management is sometimes not consistent. If our loved one has an issue or needs help we do not know who to get into contact with. They do not answer phone calls or their emails. Pre COVID when it came to the activities there was not a lot offered to the residents. The food was a bad experience, it could use some improvements. We do know there is a new chef, but we still do not know if those improvements have been made. Our loved one has a lovely room with a nice view of a small pond. The layout is great and is very functional.

My sister and I toured this one without our dad. The staff nurse thought that memory care would be the appropriate level for him. After touring both assisted living and memory care we disagreed. We feel that the memory care program is VERY good, and we may consider it later if dad should need that level of care. The memory program is broken down into three smaller units, so that residents have a group of around 8 to 12 peers in a dining area/living room area. There is an enclosed outside area that wraps around the end of the building in sort of a large U, with trees, benches, raised gardens, etc. When the weather is good, memory care residents can wander the gardens, including going around the end of the building and coming back into the closed unit at a different door. Our mother passed away last fall from Alzheimers and one of the things she liked to do for several years was to walk from place to place. If she encountered a door that lead out, she would escape or try to escape. When we placed her in a setting with no obvious outside doors, she wandered contentedly for hours. If she had been in the memory care unit at First Community, she could have wandered inside and outside at will without ever encountering an obvious exit. She would have loved that. We were not as impressed by the assisted living facilities and program. It just didn't 'feel' as good. Dad did spend several weeks in the skilled nursing facility at First Community this spring following a hospitalization. We HIGHLY recommend it! He was well cared for and did not mind being there. His experience at other rehab facilities, even very good ones, left him feeling angry and not willing to ever return.

I toured the First Community Village. The staff was nice and they gave a nice presentation of their community. It was a clean and well-kept community. I just didn't think it was the right fit for my loved one. I chose a community that was closer to my home.
