My overall experience with Medlock Assistant Living

I like the quality of care. The staff works together for the best outcome for the client's desired level of care. Yes I do recommend them for senior assistant living care. Even though my sister needed additional care, which is memory care, the staff helped me find the right place for her. The referral given to me worked out well. I appreciate their help.

Review for Medlock Gardens Senior Living

Medlock Gardens is a nice facility but I think it would be better for residents who don't need as much assistance as my husband needed. He just required more attention than they were staffed to supply.

Beautiful experience- Caring and creative people

It starts with [name removed]- but it’s the way the staff cares for my mom, her day and her needs that sets them apart. They are happy and rooting for my mom - what she needs for the day, her progress, and anything in between

Happy for Mom

The team at Medlock Gardens has met every expectation we had for Mom. They seem to enjoy having her in their community. She enjoys lots of the activities they offer, which was a key feature when we made our search. She seems happy to be there and that makes our family feel great. I would recommend Medlock Gardens to anyone looking for a place for their family member.

Caring and cost efficient

My Mom is 101 and has been in the facility for almost 2 years. She's still fisty and the aids love her and stop by often. They are always available to step in when issues of health arise. Her apartment unit is quite large and is maintained well with a balcony, full closet and plenty of room for her furniture and bed. The family visits when we are able with her daughter stopping over throughout the week. The monitoring of guests is managed well and secure. The value for the fee is outstanding and my wife and I recommend it highly. We are grateful that we found Medlock Gardens and Mom is happy there.

One of the best kept secrets

Our family has had such a great experience so far with Medlock Gardens. The cleanliness of the community really stood out to us, it also is a very welcoming community. We love that every time we come to visit we can see the resident's in the activity room having fun - it really is a full of live type of environment. The event person [name removed] is amazing and the management and director [name removed] is very helpful and informative and helped make the move in process easy. This community gave us a great first impression. We really love how they have a doctor on call - that is huge, and they also have this 2 hour check in they do with every single residents.

Friendly and caring staff

The staff have been nothing but sweet to my mother, they are all extremely friendly and they are great with her care. They never know when I am coming and when I show up mom is always dressed and looks great and is happy. Her bed is also always made. I have not eaten here, but the food looks good and mom seems to like it. They do need new floors in the common areas, but that is the only thing they need improvement on. I would definitely recommend Medlock Gardens to other families.

Loving and Caring Environment

My mother and aunt were residents at Medlock Gardens for a short while prior to my mother passing away. Medlock Gardens was a true blessing during this difficult time. All of the employees there , from the director [name removed] to the cooks were fully committed to providing the best experience and environment possible. This place functions like a small family and the caring is palpable from the moment you walk in. I was very lucky to find such a gem in my search for an assisted living facility.

I would tell others that it is worth looking into for your loved one. The price is attractive. The staff is friendly and accommodating. There are bingo, games, church, social events, and more for activities for the residents to choose from.

Tablecloths and fine dining

My Mother has been at Medlock for almost 4 years. She is on her way to 100 years old. Medlock is like living in a small mansion. It has all the amenities you would like those you love to have. Moreover, the extra care during the pandemic made us confident that Mom was getting good care. Medlock was strict on visitation protocols and we appreciated that even though it was stressful not to be able to be less than 6 feet away. Congratulations to Medlock for getting us through the pandemic and back to visitation WITH a tad bit more freedoms during visitation.

Outstanding care

The majority of Assisted Living facilities have experienced trauma on some level during the COVID pandemic. It did not have to be if we had received truthful and strong leadership. Medlock Gardens had stringent protocols beginning in [date removed]. Medlock's staff brought the facility through this pandemic with very few losses. The staff took excellent care of its residents. It did not willy nilly rush them off to hospitals and cared for them on site in a professional but caring way. My Mother is 97 and she was the recipient of that attention. She survived and we are appreciative. She has been at Medlock about 4 years, It is like a home. The dining is like a 3 star restaurant....table cloths and silver.

This has been an overall positive experience

We think this community is very clean, we have been very happy with the care services provided. Our loved one doesn't always participate, but from our understanding the activities are fine. Having looked at a number of places, what stood out to us most was that it didn't feel cooperate. It felt more like a home, and the meals the serve the residents are fine.

Wonderful Place

My father lived at Medlock Homes in Decatur. It was referred by A Place for Mom. We did not live in State so this was a big decision on our part. Best decision we ever made. He always felt comfortable. The place is so clean and all the staff makes you feel welcome when you come. For my father it was like living in a home and not a hotel, he never complained. I can't recommend them enough.
