My in laws recently moved to Danberry and it’s a wonderful, welcoming and absolutely terrific place. We are so happy and they are too. The staff is amazing and can’t help us enough. It has been a fabulous experience.

Some very good friends of mine live there in INDEPENDENT LIVING. They pay around $7,000/month and are supposed to get weekly cleaning. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. But when they do, it's rarely the same person, then they don't clean very well. Last week the bathroom counter was NOT cleaned at all. She was only there 30 minutes, so how could she? I helped my elderly friend by dusting, yuk it was so dusty and they have requested blinds to be repaired OVER a year ago and are told they have been ordered twice! Now somebody could just go to Home Depot, 1 mile away, but I guess because they are Elderly, they are ignored. I know they must be short on help as it took them 2 hours to get their food and eat in the Bistro and one of the management team was helping, but for $7,000/month they shouldn't have to hire outside help to dust and clean bathrooms.

Ive been a resident for 12 Months. I lived in an assisted living place before Danberry and there is no comparison. No other community compares to Danberry. The staff is excellent and the services are very good. I enjoy all of the activites, especially the pool. Its a place you wont get bored if you take advantage of the activities. We are all like one big family!

We moved my mother 84 from New Jersey to Danberry so as to have her close to us as her immediate family. The staff was incredibly flexible and patient while we sold the family home and moved her here in the extremely difficult Covid-19 climate in NJ and here in Alabama. Her 2-bedroom unit is lovely. The staff check on her routinely. She is meeting other residents and is joining activities. She loves shopping at Fresh Market very nearby and she has loved being near her college-age grandchildren. The weather is warmer in AL versus NJ and she dodged the recent snow! All in all, Danberry is incredibly lovely as well as economical. Similar places in the Northeast required a 6-figure payment to get on the waiting list and to buy into the community. Danberry just has a small community fee and deposit and an economical monthly rent. Danberry checks all of our boxes in our choice of community for our mother. We are thrilled to have her near us and we love the staff at Danberry!

I cannot say enough about Danberry at Inverness. My mother is a widow and lives in independent living. We moved her before Covid hit and it has been such a blessing to have her somewhere where she feels safe and at home. The staff go above and beyond to meet the needs for my mom. They respond quickly to all questions and concerns. I highly recommend danberry to all my friends with aging parents.

Having a parent move from the home they've lived in and loved for many years is never an easy choice. The staff and management at Danberry at Inverness understand this and make it their #1 priority to provide the love and support needed to make the transition easy. But their caring and support doesn't stop at transition, it continues on a 24/7/365 basis. From building friendly / family-like relationships with the residents, to the wide variety of activities provided, to the food and food services and even to rapid service for every day needs and repairs, Danberry's staff provides an outstanding quality of life standard. The facilities are beautiful throughout and sparkling clean. Apartments are quiet, well-built and a variety of floor plans makes it easy to find just the right place for your needs. In the year Mom has lived at Danberry she has made many new friends and is very happy with her new home ... and that's what counts.

The workers here are outstanding and helpful when I need something done it gets done. From Shana at the front desk the dinning room staff Kathlyn the residents detector the guys that hang stuff for you or anything that needs done. I'm very pleased I came here even though we got quarantined 3weeks after moving in. The staff is Grwat. Even the guy in charge of the fitness room if you need a talk he will listen to you.

My parents lived at Danberry for almost seven years and loved every minute. They moved there in their late eighties and shortly after moving in, told me they wished they had done it sooner. They enjoyed a variety of activities they would never had access to in their own home such a Mah Jongg, discussion group on current activities and physical fitness classes. They enjoyed meeting friends for a cocktail or dinner in the Bistro or dining room as well as outings to local restaurants. The staff here is incredible--they go out of their way to know the residents and provide friendly personal service. I am convinced living at Danberry extended the years and happiness of my parents remaining years. I highly recommend it!

My elderly father recently moved into Danberry. We are extremely pleased. The facility and its amenities are well thought out and well maintained. My father's apartment is spacious with high end finishes. Everyone on staff has gone out of their way to help with the move and to make the transition easy for him and for us. The staff respond quickly when we have questions or needs. Moving from your own home to an independent living community is extremely stressful for an older individual. The staff at Danberry realize that and work hard to make a new resident feel comfortable in their new home.

Danberry at Inverness was a very nice, beautiful place. They went out of their way to make sure that I took the tour and met the staff and people in charge as well as some of residents. The rooms were smaller than the room that I had, so I felt like I was going to feel really cramped. It was very nice, but I did not get to mingle with the residents.

Danberry (Danberry at Inverness) was fantastic. It was probably the most ideal place to retire. The staff members were wonderful. The community had three levels of care - independent, assisted and memory care - so it was great for advanced aging. It was clean and offered multiple activities. The staff was friendly. Danberry would be my no. 1 choice. My in-laws have decided to stay there.

Danberry is a 5-star senior living community. The staff is very good and they have very little turnover with their senior staff. They have same people here since they opened up. I wish we came to this 2 years earlier. We’re pleased with everything. The apartment that we have is really first class. We have the garden level apartment. We have a patio area where we put camellia trees up and flowers. I’m very much involved with the activities as well. I have just been elected as a president for one of the activity communities here which work with the Executive Director. I lead the current events discussion group every Wednesday afternoon. We have a lot of different things going on here. We lived in Florida and built our house for 15 years by the beach but we’ve made more friends here in 6 months than we did in 15 years down there.

We have looked at other places and it took us a long time to decide where to go. We chose Danberry because there are a lot of things going on and the people are just so friendly. It’s the whole package just came together. We love to be at Danberry. We’ve met a lot of interesting people and made a lot of friends. We have a library there people who loves work. It’s a really great place. The dining room is really packed and the food is wonderful but sometimes it takes awhile to be served. The food is really good though. We’re part of Danberry players. We have plays and skits here. We take part on exercises and play volleyball too. We really enjoyed these activities.

Danberry is an amazing place. The staff is super friendly, the grounds and interior are immaculately kept and the residents seem genuinely happy to be there. We don't have a single complaint. Moving our family member to Danberry was one of the best decisions we've ever made.

Moving to Danberry at Inverness was one of the best decisions we've ever made. We really, really like it. We moved in here a little over a year ago and the apartment is exactly what we needed right now. I like the fact that we have a washer and a dryer in the condo and not down the hall. The furniture that I brought in fits nicely too. Our meal plan includes the main meal plus the continental breakfast. We can choose the main meal either in the middle of the day or in the evening and we don’t have to tell them every time. We also like the residents here too. We have met some very interesting people with different backgrounds.

The people at Danberry at Inverness have all been very pleasant. I haven’t spent more time there because my husband broke his hips two days ago before he was about to move in there and we were spending a lot of time at the hospital, but they were very cooperative. I know it's going to be a great place to live than at home and it’s the best thing we've done. They have more stimulation there with regards to mental and physical activities.

I came out to Danberry when it first opened. I looked at the houses and the apartments. Then, I moved in on September 2012. I find the place very clean. You never see it dirty. The staff come and clean my apartment every week. I have no problems with the place. All of the staff is extremely nice, young, energetic and caring. They go out of their way for the residents. I just love all of them. On the other hand, the food is an up and down thing. I mean it is institutional food, sometimes good and sometimes not. We have had good chefs and bad ones. Right now, we have a good one but the one before him was terrible. They also have activities that people enjoy. However, I kind of do my own thing. Overall, my experience here is very good.

I will greatly encouraged anyone who is looking for a retirement community to totally consider moving to Danberry. The staff here is as wonderful as the residents. They go out of their way to do whatever they can to help and assist the residents. I love a lot of things they do here such as shoot games and pool. I also love the exercise room where I work out. When I first got here, the food was really good. For whatever reason, it kind of tapered a little bit. Then they had this new chef and the food slowly picked back up. Basically, I just love getting to know other people and eating lunch and dinner with others. I've been living here since March 2012. I couldn't have been in a better place.

Danberry of Inverness was a very nice and clean facility. They have independent, assisted and skilled nursing. I visited this place for my father. The staff was very nice, friendly, and accommodating. They have an indoor pool. They also have a movie theater, a bar, and a library. Based on my visit, I would highly recommend this place.
