Assisted Living Communities in Brunswick, GA

"We chose this community for my parents. We're on a waiting list. I like the fact that it was a small facility. It was very clean, and the residents seemed to be well taken care of. The people that worked there were very pleasant. I talked to some of the residents and they seemed very happy. I liked the fact that there was an outdoor atrium that they could enjoy, and a screened-in porch. I saw a room, the dining area, and a living area that they had."

"I toured Vitality at Frederica. It looked nice and fantastic. If my brother's daughter moves here, he'll probably be thinking about living in that area. It was A-1. Everything was nice about it. It was clean. The staff who gave the tour was great and friendly. They would talk to you. They have all the information and any questions I ask, they answer them. Everyone was friendly and helpful."

"The tour I had with Magnolia Manor of St. Marys was helpful. It gave us a good idea of what amenities to look for. I was pleased with the area because my brother knew the area well. They were doing some renovations to the one activity room, putting in new carpets, and I like that they were updating. We looked at a one-bedroom as well as a two-bedroom, and there was a two bedroom available, but that wasn't available to us for anywhere from 7 to 8 months. So, that was not going to help us in any way. Jennifer was newly trained. The tour was well done. We were there for an hour and 10 minutes. I loved the layout of the facility itself. It was a one-level building, which I feel is a good safety issue. At the time, the residents were doing a silent auction down the hall and that was kind of nice to meet some of the people there. The dining room was impressive. It led out to a nice screened-in patio. It was something just off the dining room that you could see in the back wooded area, which was pretty to see. I was happy we were able to complete that tour. That helped ease my brother's mind on what to look for. Jennifer was very friendly and was able to communicate with my brother, asking him a little bit about his military experience and engaging him in conversation. When someone's family is there assisting them in finding a new place to relocate, that's a big step and I felt that Jennifer did a nice job of engaging my brother in the conversation and what he would be looking for, what he most enjoyed, hobby-wise, and things like that. That was refreshing because he participated. I like that she made him feel comfortable. I thought its location was good. It wasn't on a main drag. It was peaceful in that area."

"I am impressed with how my brother is settling in at Lakes Crossing Senior Care. He was able to help pass out candy on the front porch on Halloween. I have pictures of him being involved in a musical gathering that they had shared on Facebook with me. I was able to share those pictures with my family members here in Michigan. They were very pleased to see that he was involved. He's a retired military nurse, and there are other men there who have military backgrounds and I think that was very helpful. He feels welcomed and there are common threads of background. So, that was very good. My brother has a one bedroom with a nice sized bath. There's an easy, accessible shower with seating to it. He has a kitchenette, a small stove, a refrigerator, and a microwave. The living room is a nice size. Maybe about 9 by 12 size roughly and he's comfortable in that community. He's been living in Kingsland, Georgia for about 30 years after he retired from the Navy so he's familiar with the area very well, and he can still drive, which is very good. So, he visits his family and that's very nice. I was very impressed with the dining room. It's a very nice setup. There's someone that comes in and plays the piano regularly. I met the chef and my brother was very impressed with the food and that's a plus. I felt the staff were very friendly. I've had very good feedback. My brother needs a little assistance with showering, but in other regards, he's able to take his own medication, and I felt the staff was very, very helpful. I've been in contact with the director via email and I've spoken to Barb, the business manager, and Lisa who is one of the main receptionists there, and I'm very comfortable speaking with her. We moved him in on October 13th and 14th was her daughter's birthday. She lives in Indiana and his phone line wasn't able to be set up until the following Wednesday, but we had asked one of the staff members and my brother had mentioned that he'd like to be able to call his daughter on her birthday on October 14th. The staff were very, very wonderful in making sure that he was able to reach out to his daughter on that day. That was just amazing because we were already heading back towards Michigan and it was really important that he reached out to his daughter on her birthday and they made that happen. I was so pleased. During his first week there on a Wednesday, he was very pleased with the food. They had a lobster tail lunch. It was a nice occasion. They do those special lunches from time to time and he enjoyed that. The facility was very clean. It was decorated very nicely, and in good taste. When you first walk in, the reception is down the hall a bit to the left, there's a nice greeting room, and to the right is a very nice dining room. It was very impressive and nicely decorated. I felt it was very welcoming. The décor was very much in good taste. You felt like you were walking into a home. It was very nice. He has joined Scrabble and Bingo. They had someone come and play guitar, like an evening with music, and he enjoyed that. I walked past what was called a theater room where they have actual theater-type chairs and they have a large screen for special movie nights. I felt comfortable with what's included in the service, like the laundry, and the housekeeping of the apartment, and he's at level one for care and I was very pleased with that introductory fee."

"I liked HomeLife on Glynco very much. The staff was very good, the place was clean, and the people were friendly. They seem to have a lot of activities for the residents. It's a very good place. They were having a sing-along when I was there, and they were all participating. They have a salon, a TV, and old movies that the residents would enjoy."

"We toured Magnolia Manor of St Simons. It was nice and clean. They were nice apartments. The staff took time to show us around and explain what was going on. She was helpful. They do have bingo games."
