McDowell Place of Danville

It’s not a safe place to work or let your love ones be at. So many people work there and they don’t care and half do their job don’t get in trouble for it . It makes me sad and so many residents shouldn’t even be there and not getting the care they need.

I would rate everything as a 5. My mom and stepdad are happy at McDowell Place. It's clean, the staff is friendly and caring. The dining manager is responsive to suggestions and they have lots of activities. I think it's a good value for the cost.

My loved one was previously a resident at McDowell Place of Danville for a respite care stay. My loved one's experience at this facility was great and we often recommend this facility to others.

The only one I looked at was McDowell Place of Danville. It was excellent. I thought it was a wonderful place. It was very pretty. It was well kept up and clean. We met not many people, but everybody we met was very nice. They took their time with my friend, and I thought they explained everything very well. I think it's a convenient location in the city of Danville, and I like the fact that they would take people to their doctors' appointments and take them out shopping and do things with them. The dining room was just beautiful. I think it'd be wonderful to go to that dining room three times a day and eat. Everything was nice, but the kitchen cabinetry could use a little updating. Another thing that was nice about it is that you would be independent living in your apartment on your floor, and then say all of the sudden the doctor said that my friend got to have help with her meds or her shower, your price would change to assisted living prices, but you wouldn't have to move. The staff member who toured me was excellent.

I'd give them a 5 in all categories. It's a nice place and my parents are happy living there. Based on the experience we have had so far with McDowell Place, we would recommend this community to other families

Clean, good food

I didn't have any qualms with McDowell Place of Danville at all. It's a very nice, welcoming facility. The staff was very friendly. They even had it decorated for summer. It's very cheerful and it was obvious that the staff members were good to the residents, because the residents were coming up and then talking to the staff, just asking questions and happy to see them. When I was doing the tour, even the person doing the tour was having residents come up to him and talk to him, so that was a good sign. The rooms were nice and they were very accommodating trying to meet what my father's needs were as far as physical limitations, and what types of furniture he would need and that kind of thing. The dining hall was beautiful and the menu choices were excellent. They had alternate food if you didn't like the main menu. They provided options for what you could eat.

5's across the board, personally, I loved the place. I might need a place like that one day, and that's the place I would choose for myself. The facility is clean, well kept, well lighted, secure and nicely laid out. The rooms are large with two sinks, bath and fridge. The community dinning area is large and centrally located with bathrooms near by. It has an after hours snack area. The staff are friendly and helpful. It was one of the nicest places for the money that we visited, before picking McDowell place.

Dad loved the activities at this facility and the weekly outings to local restaurants/venues. The staff sits like-minded individuals together at meals and watches closely for any changes in the individuals. The staff were easy to communicate with and were very friendly with all visitors. Dad and I (when visiting) both loved the food and there were selections that I feel would make anyone happy. I was really worried about leaving Dad here, but I couldn't have been more wrong. They welcomed him and made him feel like family. Dad had been living mostly alone for quite awhile and he acclimated well into the facility, due to the staff. This would absolutely be my first choice in facilities!

My mother moved to McDowell Place of Danville. The people are nice. A couple of the other places were more institutionalized, but this one is not. There are two large buildings and it's apartment-style living. She likes the restaurant eating and community times where they do stuff together with other people. She loves the food. She says it is great. They give you a menu to choose from. The staff has just been great.

McDowell Place of Danville is very clean, and it's very inviting to see plenty of activities for the elderly. Jessica was my tour guide, she was excellent and she explained everything. The amenities are wonderful, so the living conditions also seemed wonderful. They had activities like workout sessions for the seniors, they have a salon, a full dining room with a snack bar, and they have balconies for them to sit outside. They also offer laundry services. The building itself was under some renovations.

I have a friend who lives at McDowell Place of Danville and I thought the people were very helpful and very willing to do what they could. It was clean and was nice too. The residents looked happy, and all in all, I thought it was a positive atmosphere.

My mother-in-law moved into McDowell Place of Danville for respite care, and right now she is enjoying her stay very, very much. We chose it because it was close to her home and her doctors (she has an acute ankle fracture). The other areas that we looked at would have required her to change physicians. That was a very strong factor. They've been able to provide the exact level of care that my mother-in-law needs. The staff offer personalized attention. My mother-in-law raves about the food every day. They have activities, and she enjoys bingo and trivia, but right now she is limited to a wheelchair and non-weight-bearing activities, so she cannot do some of them. The place is tidy, well kept, and convenient.

McDowell Place is Amazing!! As soon as you walk into the building, you feel the love!! The staff is so caring and willing to help!! The dining room is beautiful and serves delicious food!! There are so many activities, a beauty shop, library, etc.. It is also, very, very clean!! I would highly recommend McDowell Place!!

We chose Mcdowell Place of Danville because it was a really nice facility, very clean and the staff members were all very friendly. The room sizes here were adequate for their needs. We ate dinner here with my parents on several occasions and the food was always very good, it was on par with any restaurant in the area. The best part about the community is the friendliness of everybody here. They used to do excursions when they would leave the facility and do day trips before COVID. I would recommend the community.

I can't begin to tell you how nice it is to live here. Everyone helps you do things. They always smile. The food is wonderful! Always something good to eat! There are lots of good activities to do. We have a lovely patio to sit on. Come and join us. You'll love it!

McDowell Place of Danville was very nice, but my aunt-in-law wasn't qualified because they didn't have enough to take care of her. The rooms were a little larger. They have activities. There were a lot of sitting areas around as well as outside sitting areas. The food was very good. The dining area was much larger. It is much bigger and it would hold more people. Also the staff members were very nice and caring. They also provide transportation if residents need to go to a beauty shop or to their doctors' appointments.

Cannot say enough about how McDowell Place is an answer to our prayers! Our loved one is happy, healthy and engaged in daily activities. She adjusted quickly and has found a home there. McDowell Place allows her to be as independent as she possibly can, while providing help as needed. The staff's friendliness, and care is excellent. They encourage visitors and are providing an exceptionally clean and welcoming environment. My family is truly blessed to have our loved one involved with McDowell Place

Everything at McDowell Place of Danville was excellent. We loved it. It was great. It was not something that we can afford this time, but it was a very nice and clean community. The lady that did the tour was perfect. She showed us everything and she answered all our questions. They have efficiency apartments, 1-bedrooms, and 2-bedrooms. It depends on how much money you have and how much room you want. We saw the residents doing crafts and exercising. We also saw the cafeteria and the library. They take trips into town, they go out to eat once a week, and they also have a van that can take you to the doctor, to the pharmacy, and to Wal-mart, so you really don't even need a car.

From the moment I stepped into the building to tour, I knew this was the place for Mom. The staff and residents were very welcoming. The whole place was abuzz with activity and residents in the halls and living rooms visiting one another. Mom has been there for 2 months now and loves it! It's a real community where neighbors look out for one another. The staff have been great to work with, too.

The staff and facilities at McDowell Place are fantastic! Every employee has been extremely wonderful, patient, supportive, and understanding in every situation. 5 +++

McDowell Place has been an answer to our families prayers. We were so concerned for our mother living alone even though we live close and tried to check in as much as possible. Even though she was reluctant making a move, she now LOVES it! She now gets regular meals, has someone to check on her frequently, and she goes on trips (something she hasn't done in a long while)! We feel like a part of the family at McDowell Place too.

My mother always compliments how nice and clean the McDowell Place of Danville is. She is doing very well since her move there. She has not been taking advance of any of the activities, but the place itself is very nice and we are happy with them so far.

We had a nice tour and the lunch was good. While they showed us a room, it looked very nice but it was too small. We were looking for more room to live in.

We really love this community, and my mother is doing very well. Everything is working out very well, and I'am pleased with all they have done for us. The staff here is wonderful. They are very caring, and kind. They do a great job with keeping the community well-kept, and clean. She has gotten involved in the community with some of the activities they offer. She has even lost some weight since her move here. She loves the meals, the food is great. I know she is safe and being cared for well at this community. I wish I could live there myself, and I would recommend it.

McDowell Place has been an answer to our prayers. I have a family member who has lived there for 5 years and she loves it! The staff is outstanding and take care of all your needs. They provide excellent care and make sure to meet all of my mother's needs . They always go above and beyond. The food is wonderful and the cooks take time to make delicious meals. We had looked at other local facilities and nothing compared to the services and loving care like McDowell Place provides. I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about assisted living for a family member.

McDowell Place was large, but well lit, and comfortable. The paint choice was a little dated in our view. The residents seemed happy but we did not see that many considering the size of the place. Neither did we see a lot of staff, maybe 3 total on our tour of two floors. We were told only one room was even available for us to choose from.

This place is everything I had hoped it would be for my mother. It will add years to her life.

McDowell was nice, and it’s a large place. The rooms were nice with a pretty good size room and an accessible bathroom. They gave an activity calendar, and I think they had lots of activities. I have known of other people that have been there.

McDowell is a very nice facility with a personal care unit. It has two floors with an elevator, so you don’t have to climb stairs. They have a lovely dining room, social area and really nice handicapped bathrooms. The meal was wonderful and outstanding, and the tables were covered in table cloths. Unfortunately, they don’t accept Medicaid. They have double rooms so you don’t have a roommate. They also have two units for independent living, where you can have one- or two-bedroom unit.

I wanted to give an updated review of McDowell Place of Danville. My mother has lived at MP for the past year. Moving her back to Kentucky for health reasons was very traumatic for the entire family. The staff at MP has been extremely helpful in making Mom at ease, listening to her, making her feel as though she is an important person to the staff, and also in helping our family adjust. Mom is quite capable of taking care of her apartment, her needs, etc. but it has proven essential that Mom be at MP where there is someone there for her in the middle of the night if needed. We are extremely pleased with the staff, the quality of care, the preservation of dignity that is given to the residents. We have had several meals with Mom and also been to visit as her meals were being served. For the most part, the meals have been fantastic. At the moment, the dining room is under renovation and meals are provided in another area or in their apartments. Our family is very thankful to have McDowell Place. Someone previously made a comment on the pricing of MP, but we did research and found that the prices coincide with the national rate for Assisted Living facilities.

My mother has lived quite happily here for about 8 years. She has her own furniture in her small apartment with kitchenette. She does not require assist with personal care but appreciates that there is always someone close if she needs help. The monthly cost includes linens, light housekeeping, transportation to medical or beauty appointments or shopping, membership in the wellness center next door including pool exercise classes, menu choices at all meals in beautiful dining room, good nutrition without tempation to skip meals to save money, plus a wide variety of optional activities: Sunday school, Friday afternoon happy hour, bridge groups, bingo, weekly trips for lunch at local restaurants, inhouse beautician, wii bowlin. There are other activities but this covers ones my mother uses. Small pets are allowed. The staff are wonderful!. They check in each evening with offer of a snack. They will bring a meal to her apartment if she does not feel well enough to go to the dining room.

I spoke with many residents who seemed content with the staff and generally pretty happy. I was personally surprised with the diversity and amount of activities the residents could chose to participate in, and there were also several stations set up for impromptu communal activities like board games or cards. Also, the facilities seemed clean and well managed. Additionally, although I did not try the food, I was invited to stay for dinner several times by friendly staff members. Though I was generally very pleased with the condition of the place, I do have to note that it did seem a little small for the amount of residents. Each room did however have its own bathroom, I am not sure if this is common in similar facilities. Finally, I imagine that this place is on the higher end of the price range, which might be a deterrent for some potential residents.

The staff seemed friendly but, a few of the patients had some complaints about workers attitudes. It was a fairly clean facility but it had a smell that was not unpleasant but could have been better. The residents seemed well taken care of. They had minor complaints about things but nothing major. Everyone seemed to be doing well. Everyone had access to a nurse when they needed assistance with something. Every room I visited had a television and a phone which the residents seemed to enjoy. Some of them complained about the food but I guess it is along the same lines as hospital food which isn't terrible but also not great. Overall it seemed like a fairly nice place and the residents seemed pretty content.

I visited and toured this facility when one of my close friends from church began assisted living here. This is facility is relatively new and is in pristine condition, the landscaping surrounding the building is also very scenic. I met and spoke to a number of the personnel at McDowell place and they all seemed happy to be there and were very polite. The dining area is spacious with plenty of seating, and it is easily accessed as you walk down the main corridor from the entrance. Most of the flooring was carpet, so the chance of slipping and falling is reduced and I thought that was a good idea. The rooms themselves are very home like and charming, they do not resemble hospital rooms and I think that this is a good thing. Each room has its own bathroom and a small kitchenette area (that we of course filled with pictures of her friends and family). Down the hall from my friends room was the casual living room area, which included a number of soft recliners, lamp lighting, and a television. All in all, I was very impressed with the facilities at McDowell Place and would recommend to those in Danville searching for an assisted living care facility.
