We had a very nice introductory visit to The James. Everyone was extreme nice. Emily’s tour was excellent and informative. She could not have been nicer to my Mom. Much appreciated.

I am writing this review for Patrick . He has been here for almost 6 years and I can say that his experience has been very good. He likes his room and enjoys going to meals each day. He enjoys the food He uses the gym each week. He enjoys being able to live as best he can independently. The management has been receptive to any concerns we have had. I think we may need some additional support in the future and I like that they have these independent services available so that Patrick will be able to stay in this environment.

I just recently toured The James with a group from Birmingham Next. I have been hosting these housing tours for almost 10 years and have toured over 50 communities. We were all very impressed by this community. it was clean, bright and modernized. We looked at two units and they were spacious and spotlessly clean. The best part about the tour was the very warm and welcoming staff. Kai-Anne gave us the most creative and informative tour and was very knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend The James when people ask me for referrals.
