Jessica Moore

It is an absolute pleasure to be employed by such wonderful owners and to work alongside our AMAZING TEAM! We all work together to provide the best environment and care possible for our residents! I personally love our residents and care about their quality of life. Sometimes its the little things that matter the most like knowing all of the residents by name, being on a first name basis with their loved ones, getting that extra packet of sweetener, opening a blind so the sun can warm their face, having a dry erase board donated so they can remember what day it is, holding their hand when they are confused or lonely, getting them that extra cup of coffee and just listening when they need someone to talk to. It's not just what I do it's who I am. :)

Brandy Hubbard

Not only do I work here I currently have family members getting rehab and wouldn't want them anywhere else. Our CNAS and Nurses do an awesome job. Our therapy department has made them feel like they can do anything. Awesome job guys.

We attended an event at Ahava. The upgrade are very nice, the facility was clean, and did not have the 'nursing home smell'.The residents and family we met were clean, well cared for, and happy. The residents were freely able to navigate the grounds.The staff was friendly helpful.It's a hard situation to have to be in when you need long term care, and it's good to know there are options. Keep up the good work and continue to maintain the renovations!

Beverly Averette

My grand father is at this facility and is doing wonderful. He loves the staff and the friends he has made through attending activities daily. I also have a great Aunt that moved in about 2 wks ago and I know that she is gonna be just as happy as my grandfather is. I could not ask for a better place for these 2 to be.

Debbie Murdock

My father in law is at this facility, and we are extremely happy with the care he's received. The staff is attentive and truly cares about his needs, both physically and emotionally. The facility has had an overhaul from earlier reviews on this site, and it is NOTHING like the previous descriptions. They are constantly improving, cleaning and upgrading the building and the staff as a whole likes working together. They show my father in law so much love and attention, and I never hear or see any residents being neglected in any way. I highly recommend Ahava of Alabaster!

Dawn Gray

I have been a therapist for 15 years and would say this place has made the most impact on my career. The nursing staff are proactive in speaking with the therapist about resident concerns from diets to strength/balance issues.. One of my favorite things is going to do a home evaluation for short term rehab patients! The true reward is seeing the patients being able to make the transition from facility to home

Haley M

This facility is by far one of the best I've ever seen!! The staff is so caring for our loved ones and for the families as well. I feel comfort in knowing my loved one is being cared for in the best possible place!! Thank you for all that y'all do!

K Fleming

My mother completed a successful short term rehab stay here 2 months ago. She had nothing but good things to say about her experience! Mom loved the facility, physicians & staff.... especially the rehab team! The 1:1 therapy she received allowed her to return to independent living after having lived with me for over two years!! She and I were both amazed at her progress! We highly recommend Ahava to anyone! Mom is 78 years old and has regained her quality of life! We are forever thankful!!

Tracy Golden

The staff are so caring and have a true passion for taking care of their residents. I would recommend them to anyone needing long term care or short term rehab. New owners and a total renovation of the building has made this a more homey feel for the residents. Come check them out!

Sheila Lackey

I have been in medical sales/marketing for the last 15 years. I am so impressed with the way Kim Fleming has promoted this facility. Her use of social media, planning successful events and building relationships in the medical community has put Ahava back on top! Well done!

Lauren Cornelius

Amazing staff, upgrades look amazing, facility is kept very clean. Great community events and activities for the residents. Ahava is one of my favorite places that take compassionate care of our patients. Everyone of the staff are amazing caregivers.

William Cain

I have had a family member at Ahava for a while now, and while being under new ownership isnt always a good thing it certainly was for them. Its great seeing all of the new facility upgrades, events and changes. When you walk down the halls you dont really get that nursing home feeling that you think you might, and I always see staff taking care of and having a laugh with my dad and the other residents! Its comforting to see.

Susan Tawfik

My Dad has been here for a week and everyone has been superb! Even my Dad who never has anything good to say when he has to come to skilled nursing rehab has been very pleased with his stay here. The nurses are wonderful, the facility is very clean, many great updates have been done and they're doing more from inside to outside. The recent change in management have really turned things around for the positive! So glad that such a wonderful place is nearby where I live so I can take my Mom to visit my Dad everyday!

The Royal Market

I am an Alabaster Business Owner and I know how important it is to project the right image to your customer base. Ahava has certainly been projecting that image! Their marketer stops by my shop to inform us of community events that we can participate in and in turn we allow her to post flyers in our store front! We plan to participate in the upcoming Christmas Bazaar as well. Keep up the good work!!

Jackson Preacher

I spent some time visiting the residents a while back, and I have to say Im very much impressed by the love and care shown during the entirety of my time here. The staff consistently act in the interest of those under their care. They all go above and beyond.

Kelli Skinner

Love Ahava! Such sweet & caring staff. The new rehab looks beautiful. Every time I visit I see many residents who are enjoying their time together. Great senior care community in the heart of Alabaster.

Cathy Saviski

As a hospice Social Worker I often contact Ahava for respite beds. Jessica Moore in Admissions always goes above and beyond helping to arrange respite for my patients. She really tries to make the transition as seamless as possible for everyone, especially my patients and their families. And the renovations are really nice!

Mark Alexander

My Grandfather is a resident here, and is doing great. My great aunt just moved in. So I have 2 family members in alabaster. The new renovations are nice. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Marcella Baker

I have seen such great improvements in the facility. And I have enjoyed working with the staff there focusing on the residents and their satisfaction. It has been my pleasure to work with many of them to achieve a quality goal.

Shay McNeal

I would highly recommend this facility for your loved ones. As the administrator of Maplewood Lane Assisted Living it makes me feel very proud knowing that I can refer residents to a place where I know they will get the same love and attention as we provided and will be well taken care of. Kim Fleming and Jessica Moore are awesome!! They will definitely guide you through the admission process and they will help you anyway they can!!

KIMBERLY WILLIAMS

I have nothing but good things to say about Ahava. They have a team of amazing caregivers. Before meeting them, I wasnt quite sure if I could leave my ailing mother with anyone and rest assured that they would care for her like I would. But they have been so compassionate and caring. I have no words to express my gratitude. I am able to focus on my job better knowing that they are there to take care of mom in my absence.

Erica Smith

My grandmother was in this facility and enjoyed every minute of it. Im a current employee and love all my staff and residents.

Regina hudgins

Great place to work with a wonderful team! The facility is beautiful and everyone has worked hard to make it a great home for our residents whom are loved and we enjoy caring for.

Sydney Melson

My concerns lie with the administration. While doing a story on AHAVA of Alabaster for my Master's work, I have attempted since September of 2019 to reach someone for comment. All of those attempts have been unsuccessful. Last Thursday I learned that it's AHAVA's policy not to give comments to media by someone who refused to identify herself and was quite curt with me. I was not asking for her name to publish a statement, I was asking because administration let me wait for 20 minutes before anyone came out to speak with me, so at the very least I could identify who I spoke with if anyone wondered where I got my information from. I was trying my best to communicate as much to her as well as the administration before I even came to AHAVA, but she did not want to hear anything I had to say and turned away from me before I was finished speaking. I later spoke with a woman named Sarah from corporate who reiterated the policy to me while I was filming, and she afforded more professionalism to me, though it seems she wasn't aware I was there until after that took place. I also learned that to some degree the administration does not listen to their own voicemails, since some higher up asked the receptionist what my voicemail said. Regardless of your feelings towards journalism/media in general, everyone deserves to be treated with some degree of respect.

Kalista Alexander

I work alongside this precious team... They have very attentive leadership who knows and cares about their patients! So thankful for their commitment and dedication...

Barbara Taylor

I enjoyed my rehab at Ahava! I have been to two other rehabs in the area over the past two years trying to recover from my surgeries. Neither of those places were able to help me feel well. I am 78 years old and proud to say that I got to return to my apartment near my friends. I was living with my daughter because I wasn't able to live by myself until now. Dr. Remillard had the best bedside manner and genuinely cared for my well being. I could tell the rehab workers really cared about me. All in all, I can not think of a better place to go and if I ever need rehab again I will go back. Everybody was so nice and the food was good too. I didn't know it was gonna turn out that way but I'm glad it did. It was clean and comfortable. I have nothing but good things to say. I miss seeing everybody that I met there.

Jessie Mink

It's nice to be able to enjoy an outside meal while visiting Mother and it feels like home to her. She loves the food trucks keep them coming!

Tammy Edwards

Beautiful, great staff & the new remodel & upgrades are remarkable.The quality of care & compassion is above & beyond. They truly care about their patients :)

Rosamary Evans

Excellent facility and staff. Kim Fleming is an awesome individual. I have worked with Kim in the past. I know that she always exceed standards in the quality of her work.

Paige Smith

I moved to Alabaster 11 months ago to work at Ahava Healthcare. I am so impressed with our leadership and the owners of this facility. Our administrator is such a joy to work with and she sets the tone for the patient centered focus that we provide. Our residents are flourishing under the new management and the refurbished facility. Come visit us and see teamwork in action!

Betty Talley

I have been well pleased with my stay here,thus far. The staff is very attentive, respectful and just willing to help. I am improveing by the day in my Therapies. The therapy staff is a joy to work with. The Unit is so bright and clean. It is conducive to healing. It was my choice to come here from my hospital stay and Im glad I did.

Kathy Taylor

My mother enjoyed her inpatient rehab stay. She had only nice things to say about the staff and said the food was amazing. If mom is happy, that says a lot!

Staci Galey

I recently completed a tour of this facility, while looking around at options for a family member. I was very impressed with the friendly staff I encountered, as well as the updates that have taken place. The facility was very clean and definitely left a positive impression on me.

Leah Vaughn

The Halloween trunk or treat was amazing ..The booths were decorated so cute and they were so generous with the candy .It was such a joy to see the joy in the residents eyes as they admired the children ..We will definitely be there for Christmas and start making visiting part of our life ..Thanks for a great time .....Don't miss this next year it is worth it for sure .....They even had a bouncy house and a food vendor...

Krista Jordan

SNF care in the central Alabama area doesnt get any better than Ahava Health Care of Alabaster. Thank you to the Staff there for all the tender love and compassion you show to your residents. Yall truly are the hands and feet of Christ.

Jacob Law

I am a US Marine. Everyone is always thanking me for my service and I want to thank yall for the service you provide! My grandmother did her rehab there and it dramatically changed her life for the better! I was also impressed by your post on Veterans Day honoring veterans and the table for the POW/MIA. Keep up the good work! Semper Fi!

Terry Pearce

I had a family member stay at this facility and she gave it 2 thumbs up It has a wonderful caring staff, very clean environment & the food was raved about. We would highly recommend staying here for anyone who needs their wonderful care.

Marilyn Young

I am so impressed with what your rehab facility has done for my friend! She was unable to walk on her own until she had rehab there. I have heard nothing but good things from her and the results speak volumes! If I ever need rehab I will come there myself!

Martha Spore

Anyone who is giving this place 5 stars is either an employee or they aren't paying attention to their loved one who lives here. And to clarify, the rehab unit is a completely different world from the long term care units here. They remodeled the rehab floor to look all nice and neat so that the short term care family members would trust the place. No other part of this facility looks like the rehab/short-term care floor nor are the other employees anything like them. I have worked here as a CNA and it is the worst. They came under new management but the same people work here. The same people who made this place nearly get shutdown, and honestly I hope it does. And I'm not some disgruntled ex-employee either. I quit myself, because I couldn't stand the way these people were being treated. I worked as a cna and in other departments and I have seen enough to know this place isn't right. There are people who beg to get out of their beds all day and are just kept in them, left unchanged and have rashes all over their bottoms.. The food is terrible, the cna's talk to them like they're children.. when I was being trained, I had to follow a cna and I went to hand out food as a training duty and one woman was in tears when she saw her meal, then she told me she felt like she was in a madhouse and that her family didn't care about her and that she didn't want her meal, she just wanted to die. I stayed in her room with her and tried to make her feel better and I got in trouble for it. These people are room numbers to the facility, not actual people. I was made to leave this woman in tears when this was her home. She was paying for this service and she deserved comfort. they all do, but never get it. I saw a woman with a terrible sore on her bottom from being left in her bed in a dirty diaper for hours on end, day after day, and I saw CNA'S wipe her sore bottom roughly because they were in a hurry. One cna told me a resident had cdiff and when she told the nurses, they did nothing for the resident. No one liked her because she was always in pain and always complaining and kind of whining, which I would have too if I were in this place. Her call light would go off for half an hour and no one would come to her room. They called her 'crybaby'. That resident died 2 weeks later from sepsis. The call lights stay on for several minutes without anyone answering them. I've seen them stay on for over an hour. They never have clean linens, and most of the CNA's wipe the residents with dry washcloths when they change them, and roughly, just making their inevitable bedsores and rashes worse. And these are rough, constantly bleached washcloths, as the facility rarely buys new linens. And if you bring your resident a nice clothing article or blanket or some nice shoes or socks, you wasted your money. Everything gets lost in the laundry and they never see it again. The same goes for bedclothes. The laundry crew often just throws it away anyway, because they hate washing personals. At one point, I went to walk in through the back door and a line of residents were there in the hallway, waiting to be let out to smoke, and one cna told me, right in front of the residents, that they had been annoying and the facility was talking about taking their smoke breaks away. Please don't send your loved one here. I have seen people who once could walk end up in wheelchairs here because they arent being let out of bed and their muscles are wilting away. I have seen terrible things. these people are dirty and uncared for and it reminds me of Willowbrook Asylum from the mid 1900's. That's how bad this place is. I wouldn't send my dog here, much less feed my dog the food these people have to eat 3 times a day. I got offered a free lunch once and I wouldn't take it. It's that bad. Get your loved one out. Don't listen to these liars saying they're fine. They aren't. These people are monsters. If you really care, don't try and detach to feel better about yourself. you should feel terrible. Take them somewhere else. this is the kind of place you hear about on the news.

Susan Anderson

My mom is in Ahava and we love it. The staff always takes care of her, we even notice them going above and beyond what youd expect people to do. When we come and visit everyone is always welcoming, and when we call to speak with mom the receptionists that we talk to are always kind.

Alyssa Alexander

My great grandpa has lived at AHAVA since 2011, and my great aunt just moved in about 2 weeks ago. This facility has a great staff, and is very attentive to their residents.

Chet Mumpower

Very nice place and great care to go along with the new remodel. Great staff!

Barbie Moore

This place is by far the most unorganized , ran by the worst management. These residents have so much to say and no one hears them, the HR (Linda)is cruel and judgmental. Someone needs to hear the residents

Wade Moore

I've been visting the facility for over a year (around the time of purchase). I had never been to the facility under the previous owners and really had no knowledge of the facility. I do know that in this short time I have seen an amazing transformation from change of staff to the much needed updates to the facility and the food being served. If you visited under the previous ownership you should stop in and see the change!

Natalee Harpers

I volunteer with a local church that visits Ahava a lot!! We love coming to see the residents! We say hello, talk with them and bring goodies when we can. Everyone is always kind!!!!

Johnny Brascom

The best place and the most caring people's to be associated with if you care about your loved ones.

Joe Meadows

New ownership has made great improvements to the facility. Great staff, very helpful admissions coordinator, makes the transition so easy.

Christian Golson

Excellent place to work. The management is very concerned with patient care and employee happiness.

Bob Duncan

Great facility and staff. Marketing team gets 5 stars and an A plus!
