The onboarding was informative and efficient. The choice of activities was plentiful. The daily check ins were consistent and a huge relief for the family. The food was terrible. Worse than hospital food. The security was not very solid as most of the locking doors were inoperable more oft

Unfulfilled Hopes
The staff has experienced major turnovers since March - upper staff just before my Mom moved in (so they were learning their new positions)and then again when Somerby was evidently bought by a national chain - not sure when, as they didn't tell us, and then a change of the overall director, who had us refill out the protocol paperwork which we had just filled out in March. They also could not produce the signed ACH form by which they are withdrawing monthly from Mom's account (we needed it to apply for Veterans Benefits). The staff which most affects my Mom's Somerby experience, the understaffed, undertrained, underpaid assistants, have almost weekly turnover. Weekend hires seem to be reliably sub-par. Their inability to answer questions about what meds they are handing my mother, lack of proximity to prevent falls when they are sent to her room for that purpose, and lack of response to any one of my Mom's 3 call buttons late one night. have all worked together to undermine my mom's confidence that they know what they are doing. The dining experience, which they bragged about when we were touring, underwent a major change under new management, with many disappointing experiences since. We are blessed if a conversation with my mom has a few moments of "I am fine" before launching into recounting whatever change or staff interaction has confused or made her feel vulnerable.

Things to Know
There seemed to be confusion sometimes between what was told to me one day, and then different a few days later. For instance, on a Sunday, I was told that my SIL needed more protein drink. The nurse and I even counted out how much was left, until I could return with more (from out of state) on the Wednesday. When I got there, with a heavy carton of it, I was told she didn't need it, and did I want it back? I just left it. I also felt like I was not told enough about [name removed] condition, and I was one of her two POA's for Health! Some of my concerns were with Hospice, but the nurse in charge told me she couldn't tell me more, only to the name that was listed with hospice. ([name removed] oldest son-who didn't always share with me!) A friend told me that in Baton Rouge, where I live, hospice nurses leave documentation in the room. A folder containing such things as day and time of visit, BP of patient, etc. I definitely think this should be done in AL as well! You might also add that most people would not have been able to afford the extra expenses that [name removed] family was paying for extra "round the clock" care for her! Especially overnight. Why wasn't she able to be checked on during the night by an attendant already there?

highly recommend, a beautiful facility, happy with our choice
We chose Somerby of Mobile over other facilities we looked at just because of the overall feeling that we got about the facility during our tour experience. The people and the building itself were all great! The staff have been very helpful and kind. They are so sweet to mom and the other residents there seem so happy. I would definitely recommend Somerby of Mobile to other families who are looking.

Perfect community for a senior adult who is active and interested in socializing and being involved.
I never visited in person. My cousin has since moved out of Somerby and into an apartment in Mobile. She never took advantage of all the services and amenities and decided she couldn't afford to stay there. Her one negative comment, which may have been her perception only, was that the residents were expected to "dress" for meals in the dining room. She didn't want to dress up and rarely ate in the dining room.

Somerby of Mobile Review
Food is the major issue. Soups are routinely too salty but usually hot. Food served sometimes cold or just warm enough to eat, etc. Unfortunately there are not a lot of options in this area for independent living. This facility and its potential sells its self and past history of apparently the good old days. Residents that have been here a long time feely tell how it used to be. Sales tours are very impressive and if you can afford it and can tolerate the food inconsistencies, you can live very comfortably here. But all that glitters is not gold. Another plus for here is you can move to assisted living and also memory care with out having to relocate to another facility.

Tour experience
We knew right away this was not the place for our loved one. We walked in and had a scheduled tour, but no one was at the front. We walked around the facility and no one stopped to ask us what we were doing. That is a safety issue. When I stopped a staff member, they were not professional or personable. We made sure to go on a weekend when there was no management there to see what it was like. We walked out within 5 minutes of being there.

Worst Possible Experience for Family and Our Loved One
Don't do it. It's all about the show. It looks nice but if your family member needs extra care, they don't want to do nothing. They kept sending her to the hospital and the hospital said my loved one wasn't getting her medication. The facility was responsible for providing her medications and they were not clearly. She suffered a fall (sliding out of her chair) and the staff left her on the floor until the ambulance came to pick her up off the floor and put her back in her chair. The staff had notified us of a few incidents except when she suffered bruised ribs and we were never contacted about this incident. Our loved one told us, not the staff. She had visible bruises. They gave a 30 day notice that she had to leave after this. Half the time she was there, she was in the hospital. If your family member doesn't need much care, it's nice. If they need anymore attention, this is not the place to go.

We chose Somerby of Mobile because when I called I got immediate response from them. I went in and toured the facility and everything looked really good and it is close to my home. His room size is wonderful, I was pleasantly surprised. The staff seems to know everyone well and recognize me when I walk in. I would recommend to others who are looking.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Alabama’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Alabama’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
