The Best Assisted Living Communities in Calhoun County, GA

"Viva Senior Living at Albany does activities with the seniors. They provide special care services such as getting haircuts and getting their hair done. They offer them wonderful breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have an area for the veterans, and my dad is a veteran. They're very attentive to their seniors. That's the main thing that I like about them. The facilities were very clean, neat, and organized."

"Oaks at Oakland Plantation had a homey atmosphere. I would highly recommend it. The apartment that my brother would have had was spacious and very conducive to his needs. They were very helpful. They answered my questions. They got me there on the tour. The staff introduced me to different people in different areas. Their cafeteria was a restaurant type. They can select whatever they want to eat. It's very nice. She introduced me to the physical therapist that they had onsite and to the person that would be in charge of their activities. It was very good. They had a baby grand piano for the residents to play. They had a theater room that was set up as if they were entering into one of those awards. There were nice seats, and it was really nice."

"I am a resident of Fellowship Home at Cotton Hill. The staff is very attentive, and most of them have been here for a long time. They've all been very helpful. The common areas are beautiful. They have a fireplace with a big screen TV above it. They have a very nice dining room, which is in the same room as the fireplace. They have a beautiful lobby and foyer with sofas, chairs, and tables. They have wonderful activities for residents every day, except the weekend. We had meals and church services on the weekend. The food is not always to my taste, and I'm a very picky eater, but other residents who've been here for a long time go to all of the meals. So, the ones that I eat are very good. They have bingo, arts and crafts, exercise, and they do walking. Every holiday they have a party. We had a big Valentine's party, and at Christmas, the staff drew our names and the staff gave us a Christmas present. It's a very home-like environment, and the staff care about the people who live here."

"My mom has been in Colquitt Alternative Care for two and a half years now. It's great. That's our hometown, so she's in her hometown and her community. I live in Tallahassee, I'm 65 miles from her, so we're not too far away. It's a great facility. They take really good care of her. The staff is friendly and caring. They treat all the residents like family. My mom's room is good. She's semi-private, so she does have a roommate, but it's a very large, spacious room. They both have full-sized beds, more than adequate clothing space, and their own suite bathroom, so it's a good room. It's an older facility and there are a few things they could probably work on, but it's only cosmetic, there's nothing anything wrong. They could make a few cosmetic updates. The food is fabulous. I've eaten their food on several occasions. If I'm there at lunch, I'll eat with her in the dining room. They get three meals a day, 8, 12, and 5 on the dot, and then snacks in between if they want them. The dining area is common right off the kitchen. It has four or five tables. It's nice. They have flowers on the table and everything's very sanitary. They have tablecloths, so it's very nice. It's like the kitchen, the dining area, and then there's a large living area that's all connected. They do things to stay active. My mom likes to walk, so she'll walk around the inside of the facility if it's not good weather. Sometimes she'll go out and they have a front porch and a back porch. She goes and sits on the porch quite often. Now and then, she'll walk around outside the facility. But primarily she's using the porches or just walking around indoors. She likes to do adult coloring books, and they play games. They have a game table, and they do stuff like puzzles, bingo, and checkers. I do wish they have a few more things that they could do. They don't have any planned activities for the residents. It is just stuff that they come up with on their own."

"Seymour Southern Comforts is very nice. It is comparable to where we put my dad. It is a smaller community, but it is very nice and seems to be very clean. They are very reasonably priced compared to other assisted living. The economy room is very nice. It's roomy enough for one person, and it has really good closet space. It also has windows where they can see outside. They have a lot of cheerful paintings on the wall, which is very nice."
