The Pines at Birmingham

I am/was a resident of this facility

We love The Pines at Birmingham Independent Living. It's a small 68-unit community that I feel like I'm a part of, and not just a resident. I also like the fact that there is no assisted living or memory care. I don't feel older than I am while I'm here. The meals are fabulous. The staff is amazing. They treated me like family, not like a resident. I feel like I'm at a five-star resort with the meals, and the chef always comes out to ensure our meal is delicious, and then he asks for our in…

All the things they say on the phone while you are on hold are lies!

There is no alternate meal. Diabetics and normal diets are the same. Most meals consist of rice, mashed potatoes, noodles, some kind of meat, and a roll. If you can’t eat something, you get a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. There is no dietician, or even a menu for the folks ahead of time. There are no nurses on staff after 4:00 any day, or week ends. The meds are passed by med techs.

Proveer at Grayson Valley Review

My mother in law is happy there and that makes all the difference. Twice they have noticed and issue that needed medical attention that we could not see. They are very inclusive.

Review for Proveer at Grayson Valley

I would not recommend.

Needs Improvement

My loved one is no longer at the facility. The food and activites needs to improve. The food was horrible. They served a lot of pasta, which was too much startch. The only activities they had was bingo. A couple of staff members were very rude. The director was super friendly, and the social services person was nice also. I would not recommend to other families.

Our family had an in person tour and we really liked this community but our loved one needed memory care and it is only assisted living. What really stood out to us the most is that you could really tell how obsessed the residents were the staff, that is a very nice thing to see
