Assisted Living Communities in Dalton, GA

"The rooms are beautiful and mom says her food is very good. I have not eaten there but it sure does look good. The staff is awesome and helpful, they play games, give birthday parties and decorations are up currently for Halloween. They have put in New Chandlers and curtains. The home is always super clean and smells great! I love Ridge Manor for my mom’s care. They are always wonderful never have I heard a cross word for anyone. Victoria is the manager and I love you and the other ladies on staff."

"The people at Southern Oaks Assisted Living were nice. The manager was nice and very informative. The room was tiny, maybe because of the price range that we're looking at. The upkeep was pretty good. It was lunchtime, so they were all dining. The staff was nice. I don't have anything negative to say about it. The dining area was good enough for the number of people that they have. They're a lot smaller than the other place, but the upkeep was good."

"I toured Ridge Manor Rossville's assisted living. The lady and the people who worked there were super nice. The people who were living there seemed really happy. They had very nice rooms. My husband would have to share a room, so I don't know if he would be for that or not. The facility was very clean and spacious."

"I toured Thrive at Brow Wood. The staff was helpful. She took us on a tour and told us the different things that they do. They have a Wii and my brother used to bowl. They had a Wii with a bowling app so that he could sit in his wheelchair and act like he was bowling. The facilities were great. The layout was good. They had a lady there who helped them paint and showed them how to paint pictures. The activities director was nice. While we were there, we got to watch him. They were dancing. They were doing karaoke. That was delightful."

"My mom has been in the Regency House for three weeks now, and they've definitely met my expectations. Their staff is very friendly and seems genuinely concerned with the residents. They interact with them. It's just a good environment. I think there's maybe a capacity of around 50 or so, and it's more of a family feel than a nursing home. What I like the most is the care that they provide and the location. It's convenient for me because it's located between my work and home. It's also a place that gives us the best care that she needs. The rooms are really nice too. They're almost like a little small apartment. She has a living space, and then a little small separate bedroom (which is all hers). It's private, so it's nice that you could bring all your own furniture and stuff from home. They have daily activities like trivia and bingo. They've been really good to work with. They've called me, kept me up to date on different things, and go above and beyond in what they could do."

"The community of Oaks at Ellijay is excellent. The staff is good. My mother had a hard time adjusting, but that's normal and she's doing much better now, and I think she's much happier. She's starting to get involved in more activities. They have a lot for them to do and she's eating better. So overall, it's been a good experience. Her room is fine. She's got her own bathroom. The room's not big, but it's got everything she needs in it. At first, she was upstairs, away from everybody and I think that she felt isolated. When a room came open, they moved her and so she's two doors down now from the dining room, and she's much happier. There's more interaction. That room was pretty much the same as the other one. They also had options of getting a one-bedroom with a sitting suite, but she didn't need that. They print out the menu for the entire week: breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I'm very impressed with the menu. Overall, the food looks fine. The dining experience is good. She's sitting with people she likes now. So, she's being a lot more social. Overall, I'm impressed with the fact that they can put that many meals out and have the variety that they have and it looks good. I haven't eaten any of the meals. I had a bowl of soup one day and it was very good, but from what I've seen and from talking to other residents (some of them have been there for 4 to 7 years), everyone seems very happy with the place. The fact that the residents have been there that long and that they're happy, that alone says something about the Oaks at Ellijay as well. They're very attentive. I don't have an issue with any of the staff. The place is kept very clean. There's no nursing home smell to it. There's none of that. They have a movie night, exercises every day, and devotionals. So, they do a lot and you can choose to participate or not. Their cost is pretty much on par with other places, but, for what they do, I'm very happy with what we're paying."

"The Gardens at Royal Oaks has been wonderful with my mother. I'm very pleased with them. Her room is fine and clean. The dining room is really nice, and she gets three full meals a day. The staff is very attentive. They have excellent food. There's a monthly activity calendar that comes out with a variety of things, like bingo, shopping, chair yoga, manicures, and movies."

"Shady Oaks was one of the best facilites in our area. The price was less expensive than the others. They have rooms with a bathroom in it. The lady that owns the place is a registered nurse. The staff were nice and they have someone capable of handling medications and giving them to the patients when they are due. They take good care of my mother. I have not eaten there, but I saw that the food they serve looks good and my mom likes it. "

"My dad has been staying at Orchard Ridge Residences. The facility is very clean, and the staff is caring. He loves the food. His room is nice, and their dining area is very nice and well-kept. They have plenty of activities, and they go on outings."

"Southern Haven was just what the doctor ordered, so to speak. Top notch full circle. They made the transition easier and greeted not only my guy, but me with open arms. Thank you Southern Haven, and that seems shallow compared to the constant care for my guy, our guy. T ~"

"GOD opened this door for My Dad and I. I know that No one wants to have their loved one placed, however this is truly a loving and caring facility, helping to keep your loved one up and going while helping and assisting not only the resident, but, the family member as well! Hepful and caring, I love Ms Deborah D. and all she does for the wellbeing of my Dad's physical, emotional and Spiritual needs. "

"Since Morning Pointe of East Hamilton was new, everything was clean and fixed up very nicely. The rooms have a kitchen, a sitting area, a bedroom, and a bathroom, but they're just a lot smaller. They have a dining hall right up in the front and an activities room that we walked by."

"My friend moved into The Rosewood at Fort Oglethorpe. Her son chose it because it's close. It seems that all the people working there are very kind and sweet. Also, it looks very clean. My friend is very happy there and happier than I've seen him in years. The food looks good and smells good. His room is not very big. He has a bed, a dresser, a TV, a room for a chair, and a little kitchenette area. They do have a courtyard, which is pretty and well-kept."

"The staff was extremely personable and helpful in assisting my great aunt after she had a stroke. She had to be bathed, fed, and dressed every day. The meals that were served to her were above average in my opinion. The facility was well maintained and the linens were clean. The grounds were kept in a highly maintained way. It was much more inviting than some of the assisted living facilities I have encountered when visiting my elderly family members. I would recommend this facility to anyone who needs assistance in caring for their family members who can no longer take care of themselves. "
