The Pearl of the Shoals

The staff is very friendly and engaging at The Pearl of the Shoals. They encourage resident participation in the activities. They are very good at communicating with the family, especially since she is in Alabama and we're in Florida. Her daughter is local and they keep her apprised of anything that comes up. Housekeeping is once weekly. We've heard that the meals are good,. Family can drop in for a meal with advanced notice if more than 1 person and we hear no complaints on the food. For our situation, we would definitely recommend this facility to others. It's a perfect fit for our family member.

My loved one is a resident at The Pearl of the Shoals. Everything has been great here so far. The cleanliness and friendliness are great! The meals are great! Everything is good. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

Our loved one had only been there for a few weeks before having to leave for rehab for treatment - we are hoping she can recover and go back soon because we have had a great experience so far. We really like the overall atmosphere of the community, right when you walk in and even walk out you just feel happy. The gentleman that was running the place and who helped out loved one get moved in has now left to do mission work and we hate that because we loved him, he was wonderful. Based on the experience we have had so far we would recommend The Pearl of the Shoals to other families.

The entire staff at Brookdale are wonderful! They go out of their way to make people feel welcome. It's very clean and updated. They offer lots of activities. I would highly recommend Brookdale to any of my family and friends.

I am just thrilled with the change in my dad since he has moved here. He has made friends, even found a girl friend that he has brought to meet me. At first, he felt his room was a little small but even that has changed and he is comfortable. He enjoys going to the dining room and says the food is great, likes all the different activities and the field trips to do his shopping. The staff here are very friendly and they show that they care about their residents. I would definitely recommend this community.

We had a pleasant tour of this community. The lady that showed us around was very kind. The community looked nice, and everything appeared to well-kept. The staff we met was friendly, and our questions were answered. The experience was a nice one, but we didn't think this was the right fit for my mother, and her needs.

I went to the open house and the people there were very nice. I enjoyed talking to the residents. The front are was very nice and clean. When we went to the back (Dementia unit where my Dad would be) It seemed like quite a step down in quality. Dark and the clients were all sitting around the one TV in the main central room, the bedrooms were very small and the shared area was not very "homey". The shared bathroom was kind of "cold". This was a quick stroll thru!! Didn't really see the whole place. I would look at it one more time before marking it off of my list.

Our experience with Brookdale Shoals has been a very positive one! The people here are very friendly, and they're taking great care of our loved one. She is really enjoying all of the events and activities they have, and is staying very busy!

I took a tour of this community it went well. I really hoped the location would have been a little closer to my home. The community was clean. The tour guide was very informative and explained all the paperwork properly. One of the things that i didn't like was the price it was very high.

We loved Brookdale Shoals! We enjoyed the grounds and it felt very welcoming. The location was great close to home and family. They were reasonable priced but adding medication administration added an additional $500 monthly which made it out of the budget.

This was a community we were considering moving my mother. I like the way the community looked, from what I saw everything was nice and clean. They have nice rates at this community. The staff was kind and friendly. Our only issue was the location, for us it was a little to far from us. I would say this is a nice community.

I thought Wellington Place was a nice place overall, but it just wasn't a good fit for me. The people here were very nice, and the facility was always clean and well kept. However, they weren't very accommodating to residents who weren't on their schedule. I generally didn't get to sleep until late at night, but they would wake me up to tell me breakfast was being served and I couldn't get back to sleep after that.

It's been very good. Compared to where she had been, where she was paying almost twice as much as we are here, when we moved out her furniture stuck to the floor, it's much cleaner here. She just loves the staff here, they have a much more personal touch, they come through to check on her often. They have more activities than the last place, and they have good down home cooking. It feels more homey.

They are clean and the staff is friendly. It's a pretty good value. They are quick to respond to any concerns or requests. They seem to have a good variety of activities going on. We chose them because we needed a dementia unit, and they had the availability. We haven't had any trouble with the laundry or the food and I can't think of anything that needs to be improved or done better.
