Crimson Village

Crimson Village sits in a central spot in Tuscaloosa and offers many types of care in one place, including independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, nursing home care, and respite care for short stays, so folks can stay in the same community if their health needs change over time. The place has ninety-one apartments with five layouts, from studios to two-bedroom options, and the assisted living part gives help with personal tasks like dressing, bathing, meals, and medication reminders, while the secure memory care wing called The Tides provides a safe setting with activities and therapies made for people with memory disease, and there's always staff around to help. Residents eat three meals a day with snacks in a big, cheerful dining room, and there's afternoon wine and hors d'oeuvres, along with restaurant-style dining for a bit of variety, so everybody can feel well-fed and looked after. Every month the Crimson Network comes in to check on wellness, and if someone needs more medical help, the place partners with the Alabama Family Medical Center for doctor visits and physical therapy, and there's even a medical director onsite and a team including an executive director and a transition specialist to make sure things run well. Crimson Village has many comforts and activities to help folks stay busy, like a fitness room with equipment and yoga mats, fitness classes, a whirlpool, and a full-service spa called The Tides Memory Care with salon and manicure services, as well as big closets, large bathrooms, a beauty salon, a theatre room, a pool table, putt-putt mini golf, lavish common spaces for gathering, and game nights, arts and crafts, plus group outings. Safety measures include storm safety rooms right on the main floor for bad weather and a 24-hour secure building, and the Crimson Club and HUBVILLAGE general store offer extra places to socialize or pick up small items. Housekeeping and laundry come included, and transportation is available for errands or doctor's appointments, so residents can save their energy for hobbies and visits. Crimson Village is still locally owned and run by the family of Dr. Ramesh Peramsetty, and they've kept the focus on quality and a caring, homelike feeling where folks can be independent but don't feel alone. Tours run on weekdays from 9 to 5, and can be arranged on weekends by appointment for families who want to see everything in person.
