The Neighborhood at Madison - Madison, Alabama

Yvonne Demetriff

How many stars can you give to a facility that literally helped me save the lives of my 90 year old parents ?

The staff at the neighborhood are unlike anything you will find in corporate America. They truly care about the well being of each resident as well as their family members. When you sign on you become a member of a community that cares for each other and supports each other. It has been an amazing experience with amazing community members. It was probably the most difficult decision I have had to make in my lifetime but it has also been one of the best decisions I have made.

Every service that I have needed for my folks over the past months The Neighborhood has provided:

A physician that comes every Tuesday to see to my folks as needed.
An on-site Beauty salon in which you never have to worry about missing an appointment because they come and get you.
Transportation to and from medical facilities. They make sure my folks are up, and dressed and ready to go. They help them to the transportation vehicle, drive them to the facility, take them into the facility and in my folks case they have waited for them, then transport them back to The neighborhood and got them settled back into their room.
Danaka provides three nutritious hot meals every day and when my folks could not make it down to the dining room the meals were delivered to their room.
They make sure my folks get their meds and it is an amazing and efficient process. When I had to take my father to Birmingham for a medical procedure, the Dr. submitted an e-script to Guardian Pharmacy at 10am when my Dad and I returned home at 8pm his meds were waiting for him.
Once a week my folks room gets serious cleaning - sweeping and moping the floors, etc. - but every day the garbage is removed, the frig is cleaned and they make every effort to pick up and tidy the room.
Their laundry is done once a week. They put out a basket of dirty cloths one night and it is returned the next day clean. They also go to the extra effort of putting my folks clothes back in their closet.
They change their linens once a week and as needed because accidents happen.
They help my folks bathing twice a week and the staff are courteous, kind and respectful of my folks privacy and their desire to do as much as they can themselves.
My folks wear a pendant which allows them to call for assistance 24 hrs a day. They can call for help for any reason at any time and the staff is ALWAYS right there with a smile. When my mom lost the controller for her bed, the staff came quickly and located it.
Melinda is a fabulous activity director and she has planned activities for every thing imaginable.
Robbie the facility manager helped us move the furniture into my folks room and has fixed/repaired any issue that has come along with their apartment.
The nurses and med-tech are always there to answer any question or concern about my folks health.
They go the extra mile to help my folks in an way that is needed.

The staff is not only there for my parents but for me as well. Educating and helping me to understand how to best help my folks and what to expect. I have learned so much on this journey from so many staff members.

I am grateful to be a member of this community. I am in awe of the care my parents have received and how much they have improved, physically, mentally and emotionally.

I do not worry about my folks anymore, I know they are being cared for and I know the staff will call me if anything comes up.

I’m so thankful for this wonderful community and the people who take such great care of my father. I have had to put my father in respite care for extended periods of time due to the demands of my work travel and I have never found a team or facility that made him feel comfortable and welcome. He instantly felt like he was home and part of a community. He cannot wait to go back! Thank you Tanya Barksdale for being such an amazing administrator and building this great team!

My mother moved in to Morningside of Madison in August 2018. She has been very happy with the care and genuine kindness of the staff at Morningside. She has made many new friends and has many activities that she participates in every day. This is the third facility that my mother has lived in in the last three years, so I do have other assisted-living facilities to compare. Morningside is the best hands down. The chef does an amazing job providing delicious balanced meals three times a day, seven days a week . The director Sammi is top notch. She is always available and willing to help in anyway. The rest of the administration staff and the nursing. team and the activities director and the maintenance staff all do a fine job. They are all working together as a team. We are very thankful that we found Morningside of Madison for my mother at this time in her life when she needed a little assistance.

This place has been truly a blessing to our family. My mother initially resisted going to an assisted living, but has grown to love Morningside of Madison and even refers to the staff and residents as her family now! My mother has improved physically and emotionally since she has moved here. I feel confident that she is being cared for as communication is excellent. Another plus is that the food is outstanding. There is so much more I could positively comment on, but in summary, I highly recommend Morningside of Madison.

My mother loves Morningside and has from the first day she arrived. She has made so many new friends and the staff is like family. The facilities are always kept clean and are so cheery. She loves her suite and it's just the right size for her. There are always activities for the residents to do - even if it's just sitting on the front porch rocking with all the other ladies. My family is so blessed that we found a place that my mother enjoys so much.

My husband has been living at Morningside of Madison since mid 2014. We love this place. It is truly an extension of our home. The staff here are skilled and very loving. I'm confident that even family cannot provide better care than this.
We moved here because the facility was plush, well maintained, and tastefully decorated. We also like the spacious rooms, which came with a large walk-in closet. We stayed here because the staff treat us like family. Nurse, cook, or any aid will alert me if they observe any thing out of ordinary.
Besides friendly and conscientious staff, the residents are friendly too. There are many different activities to engage residents and family.
This is really such a good facility. I highly recommend Morningside of Madison if you're looking for an assisted living place for your loved one.

My mother has a wonderful, caring place at Morningside. All of the staff is friendly, attentive, and thorough. The staff to resident ratio is the best I have seen in being involved with or touring many facilities in the Huntsville and Madison County area. The residents are happy, the activities are plentiful and encouraging, and the dining is excellent and accommodating. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Morningside of Madison gets a five star review in my book ! I interviewed six retirement facilities in the Huntsville area to help us with care for a family member and we chose Morningside ! Our experience has been extraordinary ! They have a dedicated staff that delivers very personal care for the residents, excellent meals, activities for residents, and they maintain a very clean and professional facility. Residents can enjoy sitting on the front porch visiting with friends or retreat to their nicely decorated room . On my visits, many of the residents share this is better than home !
