[name removed] showed me two different units, a single bedroom and a two bedroom. Both were very spacious, clean and appeared very comfortable. The grounds were well maintained. My move will probably take place in mid 2027, so I did not put my name on the waiting list. I would like to look at others in SE Huntsville, Alabama, but I don't have the address of any others.

A Healing Experience for Mom

My mother cannot stop talking about how happy and comfortable she is about the place. She is extremely happy to be there. [name removed](Manager) is a hard worker, and she goes that extra mile for us to make sure my mom has what she needs. The maintenance personnel are great and the facility is ALWAYS clean and well kept. My mother's overall experience has been so joyous for her. I always feel confident she gets what she needs and she is safe. A big bonus of being there is sometimes [name removed] will drive a big…

They were very nice. My main problem was it was so far from where my daughter lives. I like the price but can not move anywhere till I sell my house.

I am/was a resident of this facility

I will move into The Commons. I stayed there years ago and my experience was very, very good. I was very pleased to be there and I would have stayed, but I got married and moved to my husband's home. It's very secure. The people are very friendly. The staff is very responsive, very friendly, and very efficient. The rooms are very, very nice and a good size. I can fit all the furniture I want to take with me in easily. When I lived there before, it was excellent, and I assume it's still the same becau…
