My daughter has been playing here at Somerby for the residents for years. The facility is very clean and very well kept. The residents seem to be really happy and have a lot of activities on their schedule they can enjoy. It is never fun to need a facility to help your loved ones but this one is very nice and the staff seems attentive and helpful.

It used to be so well run with staff who you could tell cared about everything and everyone. Sadly months ago that all changed. Almost all the directors and replaced. The new executive director is cold and not to be trusted. And no one seems to care anymore, especially management. Too many other options in town to deal with all the problems here! Save yourself the headache!

My mother was a resident at Town Village for six years. Unfortunately, she recently had to move to…read moreassisted living. Town Village represents to their tenant's that if they are absent from the facility for 5 days they will receive a meal credit on their billing statement. However, they have failed and refused to abide by this policy. They also bill for meal delivery services in a way that is confusing and difficult, if not impossible to dispute. It appears they care more about their bottom line than they do about their tenants. If you care about your loved one I would advise you to proceed with great caution if you are considering Town Village, Vestavia Hills. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.

But the ADL'a and daily patient care has really become neglectful and cruel. Patients are NOT monitored at all. 3 times in 10 days ive found the same lady sound asleep in my husbands bed and has totally soaked it with urine. This is unacceptable and I'm totally at the end of my rope!! The staff sit in the dining room all day and I'm told they don't do "room checks" (which is required with patients I'm told by the state) but they do "hall checis". Truthfully they do no checks. The rooms are rarely cleaned patients groomed. I will not stop fighting this!! This guy place would fail a state inspection. They just truly, from the "top" down do not care!! I have been constantly upset and in knots knowing his here!

For lunch, I had the beef short ribs. They were very good, although I added a little bit of ground pepper just to give it more flavor. I also had two sides - heirloom, carrots, and succotash. All very good. The salad bar and soup is always included with an entrée order. Today I had the minestrone soup and a salad as well. The service in the dining room is always positive. LaTonya has been there for years in the dining room as the manager, and she is fantastic. They always take very good care of my mom.

This facility has several different levels of care from assisted living to skilled nursing home and rehabilitation care. The front desk staff was super friendly and the lobby has a grand piano and is well appointed. The residents we met seemed very happy and those with staff helping them were well cared for. While I did not turn the whole building, everything was clean. I cannot comment on nursing care since we did not witness direct care but I would look at this facility for my mother if needed.

Constant staff turnover. Kitchen is short staffed regularly too. Resident care was lacking to the point we hired in daily sitters. Then they without cause called FD to have our mother taken out of the facility without the 30-day required notice per her lease and wouldn't allow her to come back citing her level of care exceeded their capabilities. We had sitters doing what they should have been doing. If they would get rid of the GM it might return to being a good place to send loved one. Otherwise, I don't recommend it. The fire alarms go off constantly and there are regular issues with the plumbing to where is turned off for hours at a time. Her 1st couple of months there I would have rated a 5 but with this GM in charge I give it a 1 star. Save your money and look elsewhere.
