Very nice home like feel to the entire facility."

"All of the staff is friendly and caring to the residents. There is a lot of love with the staff and it’s not just a ‘job’ to them; you can tell they really care. There are a lot of activities, Bingo, arts and crafts, and games to keep residents happy. The nursing home is always clean, nice & neat – it’s a nice and beautiful place to welcome our loved ones to visit. I was here before and I knew this was the only place I would ever come back to when I needed long-term care. This is my home and I love it!"
- Brenda E., Former resident
"My momma is 92 years old and unable to do all the daily requirements for living alone. She came to live at Highlands in March 2014. It has been a difficult adjustment for her, as she is a very independent person. Birmingham East has allowed her to maintain a since of independence while taking care of her. I, myself, have found the staff to always be friendly and willing to help with the care of my momma."
- Jon Ann T., Resident Family Member
