I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

They now let the dementia patients reside among the non dementia residents . While this may be consisered beneficial to the dementia residents , it is certainly NOT a positive to those who still have their wits about them . We pay big bucks to keep our family member here, to be safe and secure . There are multiple incidents where residents intrude or inappropriately wander into the private rooms of others , scaring them or otherwise being a nuisance, and sometimes meddling in or stealing things - because these indi…

I visited this facility

Morning Pointe of Tuscaloosa seemed adequate. It was an institutional type. There's a lot of security around there and all the doors were locked, so that was something that I was not interested in because my mom is more independent. As far as the facility goes, for the people that need that kind of facility, it's OK. The employees were very helpful. They took all the time that I needed. They have a salon, a community room, and a little courtyard. No pool though.

My mother moved into Morning Pointe of Tuscaloosa. We chose it because it was not as crowded as the others, it still looked new, it had RNs on staff, and the employees seemed to care about their residents. Her room is very nice, and it's a living room with a bedroom. The dining area is nice. They have exercise, puzzles, tours to different places, and arts and crafts. It was very business-like, everything's clean, and no smells or anything such as some that I've been in. It's very nice. All of th…

I visited this facility

I toured Morning Pointe of Tuscaloosa. It was a mix of assisted living and memory care. I liked it fine. The lady that showed us around had only been there for three days. My husband would probably have a bedroom and bath which is spacious enough. I didn't see any issues with maintenance. They did have some rooms that were not ready yet, but I guess that's to be expected. Residents were doing exercise and using a ball and it looked like they were having a good time. The dining area was very nice. At least…

I have chosen Morning Pointe for my parents. It's beautiful and very clean. The staff and administration are all very caring people. They seem to actually care about not only the residents, but the resident's families, too. My parents got two 1-bedrooms that are adjoined by a door, so each has a bedroom, a bath and a living area, but they could go back and forth between the two. They've been there just a few weeks right now. I haven't tasted the food, but from what I hear it's wonderful. It…

My mother-in-law was at Morning Pointe of Tuscaloosa for a while. I last visited three years ago. I really love them. That's probably my favorite place of all. They said they would try her in the assisted living for as long as they could and they kept her there as long as they could, but she hadn't settled in with her dementia yet. She was constantly up and calling the nurse around all during the midnight when she was trying to give medication and stuff. I just said she had to go over there to the memory …
