Lynridge of Huntsville Assisted Living & Memory Care

My mom has been social and active in the memory care unit. I truly appreciate each staff member for the kindness and care my mom received. Staff is professional and top notch! Thank you for making my moms life enjoyable again.

We recently toured Lynridge looking for an Assisted Living facility for Mom and I wanted to share our experience. We met with Jenifer Gulley and she was exceptional!!! We have toured multiple facilities in our area and Jenifer and Lynridge were by far the best in many ways. Jenifer was professional and extremely knowledgeable but also very warm and caring. The Lynridge facility was pristine, beautiful, clean, and seemed like a wonderful living environment. We were amazed by the culinary and dining options, wide range of activities and amenities available to residents. We encountered a few residents on our tour and they were engaged in activities and seemed very happy and well cared for. We left feeling optimistic and confident in this being a perfect place for Mom.

Review of Lynridge Assisted Living I would strongly caution anyone considering Lynridge Assisted Living for a loved one. My mother was living there and making excellent progress thanks to the outstanding nurses and caregiving staff, who truly cared about her wellbeing. The frontline staff were compassionate, attentive, and doing a fantastic job helping her improve. Unfortunately, the positive work of those caregivers was completely undermined by corporate management. The problems began when Miranda from corporate became involved. Almost immediately, the focus shifted away from patient care and toward what felt like bureaucratic mandates and financial motivations. First, we were told my mother needed a different bed. We complied and purchased one. Next, we were told to install a bed rail, which we did — purchasing a rail specifically certified for elderly care. Then we were told that rail was not acceptable and that it had to be a specific brand (Halo). Again, we complied and purchased the Halo rail they required. Before we were even given the opportunity to install the Halo rail they insisted on, we were served with an eviction notice. Meanwhile, their requirements became increasingly unreasonable. They attempted to force us to hire a 24-hour private sitter, even though we were already paying $3,900 per month for an “all-inclusive” assisted living arrangement. Our senior care advisor even suggested a very common safety practice of placing grip strips on the floor beside the bed to prevent my mother from intentionally sliding herself down to the floor. That suggestion was dismissed outright. Then things got worse. Without any explanation or authorization, Lynridge debited $2,280.27 directly from our checking account with no prior notice and no clear accounting of what the charge was for. To this day we still do not have a satisfactory explanation. The end result was that a vulnerable elderly resident who was improving and receiving excellent care from the nurses was
