Kauhale Byrd Springs sits in the Tennessee River Valley, close to Huntsville, and has offered care and a sense of community for seniors for about 20 years, providing options for people 55 and over who want independent living, assisted living, memory care, home health care, and respite stays, all on one easy-to-navigate, single-level campus so folks don't have to worry about stairs or elevators. The place has a cozy, homelike feel with open spaces, outdoor patios, and gardens where you can pull up a chair or take a peaceful walk, and rooms come in four styles-Small Suite at 270 square feet, Studio Deluxe at 335 square feet, One Bedroom, and Two Bedroom apartments at 435 square feet, all designed to give privacy with bathrooms, living rooms, and closets, plus some pet-friendly options, since pets and pet visits are allowed under their policy.
Assistance is here round the clock with trained staff and a part-time nurse, who help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication management, and mobility, plus there's help with housekeeping, laundry, and transportation, all included in a single price that starts around $3,895. Meals are served restaurant-style, featuring chef-prepared food with special diet needs considered, and guests can join for meals and park with no worry since guest parking is provided. Residents can get room service and eat privately if they wish, with an emphasis on keeping a strong, active social life, and the dining area often leads to conversation and a sense of good company.
There's a lot on the activity calendar, including walking programs like Walking Tall meant to lower fall risks, yoga and chair yoga classes, arts and crafts, a book club, gardening, music from a resident musical group, game nights, trips for shopping or eating out, and group outings that keep things interesting, always with a focus on making sure residents are included and supported to stay as active as they wish. The Second Wind Dreams program and other signature activities help residents chase their lifelong ambitions, while memory care services and programs like ASAP (Awakening the Subconscious of the Alzheimer's Patient) offer special help for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, with a secure neighborhood for those who need it.
There's a small, steady staff, many who've been here a long time and are known for their kind approach, and the facility itself holds a state license (D4525) and is owned by Elmcroft Senior Living, so it follows state rules. The front office handles check, credit card, and insurance payments, and there's guest suites if family comes to stay. Kauhale Byrd Springs offers on-site skilled nursing, a physical therapist, home health care certified by Medicare, hospice support, a pharmacy, and medication reminders, plus haircuts in the beauty/barber shop, and religious and spiritual services, with Wi-Fi, cable TV, and kitchens to help people feel at home.
This place accepts residents for short stays or longer, and because it's part of a continuum of care, residents can find more help as their needs change, so if someone starts with independent living but needs more assistance later on, they can usually stay right here. Families often describe the community as caring and friendly, and the "Best of Senior Living" award for 2025 reflects its history and commitment to thoughtful care, always trying to treat everyone with dignity and respect, even as health needs change over time.
