Assisted Living Communities in Dalton, GA

"Southern Oaks Assisted Living is very nice. My grandmother has excellent care, gets three meals a day, and there are activities there. It's one of the best senior communities I have ever been in. She would have told me if the food wasn't good because she's very picky. As of right now, everything with the staff has been great. They also keep the residents busy. I chose this place over the others because of the cleanliness and the staff."

"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."

"When I arrived at Regency House, they had a desk to the right, and I asked for somebody to speak to, and their staff came while I was there. The facility had a flood, and it was under construction. They had moved half the residents to the other half. I don't know how they did that, but they had to move and shuffle people around. That's not their fault, but they're going to have to do something major to prevent it from flooding again. It was in our price range, so we were able to afford it, but there were no rooms available. So, we got on the waiting list, and they said it would be six months, probably before there would be any openings. The lady was nice. The people in the facility were a huge range of different types of people. They seem more dementia patients. I talked to a few of them while we were waiting. I would say that if that was my only choice, I might have put my dad there and his room would have been on the second floor, but I had another choice. The facility was clean, and it looked nice, but it wasn't upscale, like the other place I visited, which wouldn't matter to me, but it could matter to other people. People were in their rooms. The contractors were there making a lot of racket. They had a few people sitting in the dining room, and everybody else was in their room. The staff were very kind and very nice. I don't think it's a good idea to make a two-story house into an assisted living house. They put in the elevator, but I do think the stairs are a little dangerous for older people who don't have dementia and might use the stairs even if you tell them every day not to."

"It was where my brother was. The staff was very nice, and they had a lot of things for people to do. His room was very small. One woman in particular did a fantastic job of managing to get all kinds of things in her room and get it all organized. I know the women were always busy doing crafts, playing card games, and watching movies once a week. They had different parties for different occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas. The people could go out if they had transportation and there were plenty of churches around. They’re near the Courthouse Square where a lot of the shops are located. "

"They have a wonderful meal program, and the residents may eat in a nice dining area or in their room. The location is a block from the hospital and across the road from a wellness and rehabilitation center, which is great. There are nurses on call and CNAs whom check on the residents on a daily basis. There are water features and the landscaping is beautiful. The residents have medication regimen programs, where the nursing staff takes the medications to the residents and make sure they are taken correctly. The rooms are nice and there are nice areas to be able to go for walks. It seemed like a wonderful place to live. "

"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 brother will be moving into Orchard Ridge Residences. They have a separate building for dementia patients (for memory care). Both buildings are in the same place, but one is in the back, and they have more security and stuff. I talked to one staff member, and she was very nice. They have different levels of activities according to their skills. There's a salon there, too."

"I volunteered at Southern Haven this past summer. Every time I came in, the home was clean, and all of the staff were welcoming and friendly. They played games with the residents to help engage memory and keep them active. At mealtimes, residents receive excellent home-cooked meals (and they are quite good because I've tried some myself). The staff encourage residents to do as much on their own as possible, but they always provide aid for the residents with more difficulty eating. From what I've seen, Southern Haven is a loving home where the staff members are like family to the people under their care. "

"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."

"The Canopy at Boynton Ridge was a very nice place. They were very nice, and I was impressed with them. It seemed to be clean and neat. They seemed to be caring. The patients seemed to be involved and happy. The rooms were very nice, very clean, and nice size. I went into the dining area, and it looked good. The food looked good that day. Everybody seemed to be eating."

"The name of the facility is Rosewood. We chose it for my mother because it is close to home. The staff is all very nice and very positive. There's different sized rooms for different needs. They all look quite comfortable. The dining area is very nice, and the staff is very helpful. They have lots of activities like bingo and member's night. It is a family night where all the people have their family come in, and they do a dinner. They do a lot of shopping trips and go to lunch or dinner at different places. There are several things on the calendar every day. It is a very nice and well-kept place. The staff and everyone there are very positive. It is a very nice facility. "

"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. "
