We were in need of respite care for a couple of months for my grandmother while she recovered from a fall. We chose Summer Village Azalea Place, and it exceeded our expectations. She was well cared for, and they offer plenty of activities and provide great food.<br>We recently needed another short term respite stay for her while we were away at a work conference, and chose Summer Village again. Would definitely recommend! Jessica and Kathy were great to work with while getting her set up. And can’t forget to give a shout out to Ms. Wanda at the front desk!

While it is a clean facility, numerous members of the staff are rude to residents. Some more so than others. They frequently try to avoid doing certain tasks required to care for the residents properly and when this is brought to anyone’s attention it is met with hostility instead of compassion. The dinners rarely look appetizing. Frequently serving the same thing at dinner as they did at lunch.

I searched in Montgomery and Auburn to find the right Assisted Living place for my mother. When we met with Jessica at Azalea Place we noticed a difference there right away. Their focus was on Mom and how Azalea Place could meet her needs versus how Mom would need to fit in with their protocols.<br><br>We're so happy with the staff here. Everyone we've met is incredibly caring and takes wonderful care of my mother. If she ever needs help with something and that person can't help her, they make sure they find someone else who can get it done.<br><br>While there were a few hiccups when she first moved in, everything is now running smoothly. I'm very pleased with the responses we've gotten from Jessica and from Amber, the director at Summer Villages, whenever we've reached out.<br><br>Mom is absolutely thriving at Azalea Place. Before she moved in, she was just sitting in her recliner all day. Now she's getting out of her room, participating in bingo, Bible Studies, church services, putting together puzzles and sitting on the front porch making friends with the other residents,<br><br>I've eaten with her there a couple of times and can tell you the food is fresh and delicious. She's finally eating well and gaining back some much-needed weight.<br><br>Most important of all, after seeming like she'd given up on life, now she's got a sparkle in her eyes, she's stronger and back to being the feisty character we love so much. She's living her best life.<br><br>Thank you to everyone at Azalea Place for caring!

Kathie was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all my questions, had plenty of written materials ready for me, and showed me a beautiful model unit in the floor plan I wanted.

Jessica is great! We needed a place for my father in law and she worked things out quickly and secured us a place! So far, we love Summer Village!
