Assisted Living Communities in Athens, GA

"I toured The Landing of Winder. I liked it. It was an awesome facility and beautiful. My visit was very informative. It was actually wonderful. It's a beautiful facility and a very calming atmosphere. It's one of my top lists right now. It was an absolutely wonderful place. I liked the calming atmosphere there and the design of the layout for the residence. It's very simple. I think less is more, especially since it would not overwhelm my father. It would be easy for him to find his way around. They had a movie theater and an outside garden. Their dining halls are nice. They have one on each floor and their programs. They have an interactive program. It's some kind of computer where you can do memory games for family and residence. The executive director was outstanding, very informative, and pleasant."

"The two girls I met with for my tour were not sales-like or pushy which was nice. They seemed to understand and care how hard it was for me to even tour. I visited around lunch and the food looked appetizing. As much as I’ll hate having him away, I think the pines is going to be a great home for my husband. "

"My aunt is a resident of The Oaks and we are very happy with the community. She tells people it is her home and that the staff are here family. Her only complaint is that her closet doesn't fit both her winter and summer clothes! The building is beautiful- like a ski lodge and everyone is very nice and caring. I would certainly recommend considering this place for a family member. "

"My mother-in-law is a resident of The Joy Senior Living. We chose the place because of the cost, and it's close to where we live. Her apartment is very nice and one of the largest rooms we found when I was searching for a place for her. It is very clean and private. I've been there when she's eating a couple of times, and the food is always really good. They make all their food in their kitchen, and she eats well. The staff has been great. As for the activities, she's always doing something when we go by. I took care of her myself for the last year and a half, and it's not easy, so I appreciate what they're doing."

"We toured the Talmage Terrace. It seems to be a very active community. The price is more in my level for renting. It's associated with the United Methodist Church, which I am Methodist, so that kind of caught my eye. It has everything that I need or want at this time in my life. I found the staff very friendly and informative. The young lady that sits on the desk coming in, she's got a big smile, and she's just really friendly, so that's nice to see. I've talked to a couple I know, and they said the food is great and they haven't had any problems with it. They've been there a couple of years now. The rooms are all fine. They are small apartments. I don't know the exact square footage, maybe 520 square feet, maybe one bedroom living room, dining room combined, a small kitchen and bath area, so it's adequate. It looked very clean. They've got other things going on. They have little gardens and flowers and vegetables, and people just seem to be very active."

"What I liked the best about Orchard at Athens was the aesthetics of the place. The size of the rooms was good and the location was good. They seemed to have a lot of activities for the senior citizens. The staff was very helpful, very accommodating, and seemed to be very knowledgeable. They had quite a few very upscale amenities, including a beauty salon and a gym. Their physical therapy room was pretty outstanding."

"Highland Hills seemed good. Everything was really closer together there, and not as spread out. It seemed like the hallways were a little smaller and closed in. I really liked it and don't have anything bad to say about it. They didn't have as many things available to look at that particular day, I visited though. It was a homier place with rocking chairs outside and a lot of trees and birds and bird feeders. It was a very nice, top-notch facility. They had an apartment on one side and the other side was more like a nursing home and hospice care. It has a continuum of care at one facility. "

"The administrative staff is excellent. Communications are frequent and informative. Staff members respond to emails, questions, and concerns in a very timely and compassionate manner. Facility is very clean and attractive."

"The director at The Landing of Bogart took me on the tour and was extremely knowledgeable about senior citizens' needs (probably the most knowledgeable) so we had a very good discussion about that. It just was way too far from my house. It is a three-level facility, and I'm uncomfortable with that for emergencies, like if they had to evacuate. I'm sure they have a plan, the director talked to me about it, but I'm just uncomfortable with the three-level facility for that kind of care. I don't think they had as many amenities as the other two places I visited."

"My mother moved to Mulberry Grove Senior Living. It's very friendly. The people and the staff are very professional. It's very clean and very pretty. It feels like home. It's a very nice facility and we're very pleased. They have a pharmacy that takes care of all of their medicines. They package them so that there are no mistakes in their medicines and they have a podiatrist that comes and they have a hairstylist. I can't say enough good things about it. The food is excellent. They have an exercise group every morning that my mother loves and they have a Bible study going on on Mondays. That is very important to her. So far, we're very pleased."

"My aunt moved into Rainbow Senior Care Home and she is doing great there. She is in the memory care and their staff is very attentive and very helpful. We were in a situation where we needed to get her to a different facility ASAP and Rainbow Senior Care Home acted promptly. They helped us move her in a matter of hours. Everything is very clean and neat. It's a very family-oriented environment."

"Lakeview Manor was a small place with about 10 residents, so it was not a big facility. Yet, it was not too small that if she did not like the other residents, there were other people she could still talk to. I liked the location because it was in the middle of nowhere. They had a very nice lake with a gazebo where they went to sit or fished. There was also a nice wooded area around it. The only drawback was it took about 15-20 minutes to drive to town for shopping. Mom had a private room with a window that looked out to the lake, a good-sized closet, twin bed, dresser and side table. Although, we brought her own bed in. They did not have television service in the room so I provided for her. I preferred it if the private rooms had bathrooms but they did not have. All the bathroom were in the hallway and shared by everybody. They had two aides in the morning and one at night. I did not see any scheduled or planned-out activities. The residents did whatever they felt doing like puzzles, coloring or dance to music. They mostly stayed in the television room. She kept complaining about the food and there were a lot or repairs underway. "

"My mother recently passed away at 92 years old. The staff was outstanding in responding to her needs. As the end for mom was approaching, she was very specific in saying that she did not want to die in the hospital. She wanted to die among the people that loved her and that she loved (referring to the caregivers at Magnolia). Mom was there nearly three years and I can honestly say the staff there becomes an extended member of your family. During the past year, the staff did everything possible to keep Covid-19 out of the facility while doing everything possible to help family members stay in contact with their loved ones. My Mom referred to Magnolia Estates as her home. The staff went above and beyond on keeping me advised of anything she needed or if they had concerns about her health. Our family will be forever grateful to the Staff at Magnolia. Words will never be enough to express our thanks."
