Assisted Living Communities in Dalton, GA

"Very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. Facility looks amazing"

"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 had an excellent tour experience at American House Shallowford. I loved it. The people were great. They explained everything. The facility is just immaculate. The rooms are very nice. They would have been the ones we chose had we not found somebody to move in, because they were just excellent, and the facility has everything that we needed for my relative. We walked through the dining area and saw the food, and it's got a list of different stuff that you can eat, and it is very nice. They have an exercise room and a TV room."

"I toured Ridge Manor Rossville. It looked very nice. They had done a lot of updating and remodeling, and the inside looked nice, too. The neighborhood leaves a lot to be desired, but the entrance itself looked fine. It's just that somewhere in the neighborhood, there's a trailer park next door that's a little bit rundown. The facility looked fine, very clean, and updated. The staff was very nice. I met with a young man and a lady there, too. They showed us some rooms and they talked about different options. They gave us different financial options."

"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."

"I like the size of the community and that it is all one floor. The staff were friendly and the residents. Clean and home like environment"

"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."

"My friend moved into Charter Senior Living of Cleveland 2 months ago. The staff is very attentive and caring. I know that they have at least weekly bus rides around various places. They've got daily exercise classes in the mornings. And he's been very pleased with the meals, as well. His room is more than adequate for him. It has a nice-sized bathroom with a handicapped shower in it. He has a double bed, a TV console with a TV, and a dresser."

"I only wish there were more stars to give! My mom was only there for the last four months of her life, but the staff was incredible. She felt loved and safe there, and it gave us peace that she was in good hands when we couldn’t be there. The staff is not just being nice because “it’s their job”, but they truly care about the residents."

"My mom moved into Story Point Chattanooga. Some of the places we visited did not smell good, but this place was very open and refreshing, and everyone was friendly. They knew their residents, knew their names, and it had a good feel. Everyone there has been extremely helpful. Their care staff is very easy to communicate with. They seem to care about my mom and are very accommodating. The meal is one of the things that they are accommodating. It's not exactly a special diet, but it requires special preparation. She also has her food brought to her because she's not able to go to the dining area at this time. So, they've been very helpful with that, too. They have games, bingo, church, singing, happy hour, and cookouts. They have lots of activities. They have a bus that can take them out shopping or to doctor appointments, but she has chosen not to participate or has not been able to. They are expensive, but compared to what other people are saying, it's very much in line."

"I like everything about Signal Mountain Senior Living. The only thing I don't like is the rent was way too high. The place was clean, neat, and taken care of."

"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. "
