Assisted Living Communities in Dawsonville, GA

"I toured Lakes of Gainesville, and that was nice. It was just priced higher. It was funny. They even had a happy hour on Thursdays. The rooms were nice and comfortable. The staff was informative. He took me around and showed us everything. It was clean. It has a nice giant chandelier and a fireplace. It looked like it was well-kept. The indoors and the grounds were clean."

"My mother is currently a resident and she is very happy. She has formed a number of friendships in the year that she has been there. They have some newer staff that are fantastic and communication when mom needs something has been very easy. The facility is clean, and well kept and the food is very good. I highly recommend this community. No place is perfect, but they definitely care!!!"

"I would give Towne Club Windermere a five all the way around. That was my favorite place, but it is set up more like an apartment building. It's a tower and you had to get on an elevator, and Mom wasn't comfortable with that, but the rooms were fantastic. They were like regular-size apartments. They have a beautiful pool, a garden area, a movie room, a hair salon, and tour buses that would take you to the grocery stores and stuff. Any amenity that you could think of they had there. They did social hour; you come down in the main room and have appetizers and things like that. They go from independent living all the way to memory care. The staff during the tour was very, very attentive. She showed us several different sized rooms and she gave us the pricing. She made sure that we had all the meals. She let us taste the meals, which were very, very good. She took us around. She was very patient with Mom and Dad. We actually sat down around the pool with some of the people there, and we were able to talk to the residents there, ones that were in wheelchair and ones that were a little bit more independent. My concern then at that point in time was finding a place for both my Mom and Pop and Pop to be more active. The staff introduced Pop to some of the guys there that still play golf and things like that, so he really felt comfortable there. It was Mom that was not at the time, that's why we didn't do so. We actually were there three times and we signed a contract with them twice. Mom just didn't think she could do that elevator. She didn't feel comfortable with it."

"I toured Magnolia Senior Living at Sugar Hill. It did look very good to me. The place was nice and clean. Everybody looks taken care of. I liked their game rooms. They had a lot more than where she was at. The size of the room was nice. It was like a little studio apartment. The staff was friendly. The facility was spacious, had a lot of grounds, and a patio area with the benches and stuff where they cook out."

"I went to Oaks at Shiloh Point. It was very small, and it only had 35 beds. They had lots of activities. The person I was supposed to meet with was not there, so I was shown around by a very nice maintenance. It wasn't as expensive as some of the other ones, but it was old. Laundry was not included, too. They have studios and small one-bedrooms. The staff was nice, and he was knowledgeable because, at one point in time, he had owned some of these independent living and assisted living places, so I felt he was knowledgeable."

"My mother lives at Wisdom Well Living. Finally I have peace of mind knowing that she is taken care of. They spend quality time with each resident and since it is a small facility that makes it possible. It is kept neat and clean and all of the meals are delicious. It is obvious with the care they give that Beatrice and David are passionate about their care giving. I would highly recommend Wisdom Well Living if you are looking for care for your loved one. "

"I looked at the assisted living and memory care at Brookdale South Lee Buford. The community seemed very nice and very homey and the people were quite friendly. I saw that they have activities in the building, people will come in with music and so forth, and they have exercises. They can go out for dinner on evenings with their bus. Overall, I was pleased and I had nothing to ask for. And all my questions were answered. It was a pleasant place and it was pleasant dealing with all the people. The building itself was clean, neat and homey."

"I toured Antebellum James Burgess. It looked like someone's home. There was a lot of space. It wasn't all broken up where it would be difficult to navigate. It made sense to have that much openness for a facility where people could be wheeled around and furniture could be moved as needed. They had rearranged tables in the middle of the room so that all the residents could sit at the table and do an activity together. They didn't have all these separate tables or all these different rooms. It was a nice, big area, with a beautiful, big stone fireplace. It was very clean and neat, but also open to changes in activities and demands of the residents. The people were so nice, everybody was very nice. The assistant director was very knowledgeable, and she showed me all the different things I wanted. She even showed me all the things that we didn't need yet. So, as the needs progressed to something more or something different, she showed all of that as well, not just what I was there for, but what the future might hold for my family member."

"Celebration Village Forsyth comes off as a cleaner, more lively, and more active community than some of the other facilities. It's bright in appearance. It's more cheerful. The rooms are bigger. They're more spacious. They have bigger kitchens. Everybody we ran into was very pleasant and helpful."

"My aunt is a resident of The Oaks and we are very happy with the community. She tells people it is her home and that the staff are here family. Her only complaint is that her closet doesn't fit both her winter and summer clothes! The building is beautiful- like a ski lodge and everyone is very nice and caring. I would certainly recommend considering this place for a family member. "

"Heartis Suwanee was nice. It's kind of big. It has five buildings. The staff said they have 85 independent units and they're nice. I thought they were a little more expensive than others. They want $4900 for a two-bedroom, which I thought was a little high, but they're real nice and everybody there seems to be happy. It's well maintained, I could tell from my one-day visit. The staff was very nice. Emily was very prompt. The woman at the concierge was just as sweet as she could be. The minute I got there, I said I was looking for Emily and she called her and said, "She'd be right here." I did not eat the food, but the people that live there think the food is good. They got a nice-looking pool table and a room for that. It's kind of like an atrium and it overlooks the lobby."

"I enjoyed Belmont Village Johns Creek. They were friendly and personable. It was a nice place. The staff during the tour was very knowledgeable and friendly. She knew what she was talking about. I would feel comfortable having my mother-in-law go there. The apartments were unfurnished, but they were nice. They have little balconies and screened-in porches, which were good. They have a little kitchenette. It wasn't like a high rise, and I liked that. It was like a village, so that was good. I looked at the dining area and it looked nice, they had a little cafeteria and cafe. They have a courtyard and a large outdoor area where you can hang out. I like that it's smaller than the other place we visited."
