There have been some issues with the billing but I'm having a meeting with them this week to get that resolved. Based on our experience I would recommend them.
The Bungalows at Riverchase in Hoover, AL

We have really enjoyed our time at the Bungalows at Riverchase. The place is very well maintained and it's more like a hotel than a nursing facility. The smallness of the facility really helps our mother. I would highly recommend it.

The meals and dining service is like clock work, very consistent and good. What really stood out to us and sold us on the community was the overall friendliness of the staff members we met.
