Academy Assisted Living Facility

We liked the Academy very much, and the staff was very nice, but the distance between the living areas and the dining room was too much to handle. The price was good. We loved the two-bedroom apartment with a garage. That would be our first choice if it was located closer to the gardens.

My father is in Academy Assisted Living. The staff is helpful and doing a good job. The atmosphere is good, casual, and relaxed. The dining area is nice, and the food is good. Maybe they can do a little modernizing. However, we are pretty happy with them.

The care is better no where! These angels cared for my 92 year old step-dad right up to the time he went to be with God. They gave him love and care that made me feel it was ok to let someone else take care of him, in a way that was superior to what we could provide in this time of need. The whole staff put us at ease. My wife who works in healthcare was surprised and very impressed with the whole place, the cleanliness, the attention given by staff to the residents, and the "HOME COOKED" meals! And affordability, although you can't put a price on the level of service they provide.

My mother has been in Academy Assisted Living Facility for four months now. It's clean, it's small, it's more family oriented. It is also more hands-on. There are plenty of activities here. They have bingo, an art class, movie time, and they also have a gentleman come in to sing for them. It's very, very active. She's got her own room and it's affordable. We didn't have to depend on the state, it was something that she is financially able to do on her own.

There was a very positive atmosphere at this facility. The food that my brother used to cook for the elderly and sick people at the facility was top notch. The caregivers were very friendly and actually cared about the needs of residents. The property was very clean and well landscaped. The facility was also down the road from Lawnwood Memorial Hospital so if there were any emergencies the residents would be taken care of immediately. The residents also had alot of activies to participate in such as bingo, arts and crafts, and trips to go shopping, oout to resturaunts, and to events. I never heard of the residents or their family members complain about anything that I know of. Also the staff members had a very well kept medical list of the residents showing what health problems the residents had and also what prescriptions they take and there were no problems with wrong dosages or giving out wrong medicines. Overall it was a very good and well kept facility.
