Assisted Living Communities in Oakwood, GA

"My husband has moved into Magnolia Senior Living at Dawsonville. It's been very good. I went and toured it. I was impressed with the people, the caregivers there, and the level of care that the residents were receiving. It made me feel confident. The staff is very loving and caring. The food is excellent. The selection is excellent and the quality is top-notch. It's beautiful, well-kept, and it's new. They only opened in July. They have exercise. On Wednesday mornings, they have a minister who comes in and does a service. They make cookies. They're always doing something. They have games they play like tossing a ring. They keep them pretty entertained. The only drawback of that is if the resident does not want to participate, but they do try to encourage participation."

"Security was good, and the employees were nice; they were very polite. The food was good. The rooms were pretty spacious for one person, and they were really nice. "

"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 found a place for my dad, and it's called Lanier Place. The staff is incredible. If I could give them 10 stars, I would give them 10 stars. They're that good. They just make you feel like your family member is safe and you don't have to worry about them in their hands. It's like a very big family dynamic. They treat everyone equally and everyone is like family. It's just amazing. My dad has been there for six weeks now. He is there for regular assisted living. He does get medication management because of possible dementia, but right now, he is in assisted living. His room is great. It's a smaller apartment, and it's the lower income kind of part of the facility, but his apartment is good. It's perfect for him. It's easy for him to access everything, so it's really good. And it's right across from the courtyard; he loves to walk. My dad loves the food. It's delicious. It's like you're at a restaurant. It's very good. For activities, they walk with them and they have an ice cream social. They'll take them wherever they need to go like to doctor's appointments and outings. I remember one time I walked in and they asked them what activities they like and what they like to do. One was like, 'I want to go fishing,' and they were like, 'We can try and work that out.' So they want to do as much with them and make them happy."

"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 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."

"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."

"The two girls I met with for my tour were not sales-like or pushy which was nice. They seemed to understand and care how hard it was for me to even tour. I visited around lunch and the food looked appetizing. As much as I’ll hate having him away, I think the pines is going to be a great home for my husband. "

"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 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."

"The Legacy Personal Care Home in Lawrenceville was very nice, very clean, and well-kept. The owner was very pleasant, and the residents seemed like they were happy. It's just a house without a sign, and we went to look for memory care for my mom. The residents were all in the same common area, which was the living room, and they were watching a game show. They also have bingo, and they do all kinds of other activities with them. I checked the dining area, which is a family living room style, and it seems appropriate and spacious."

"My tour at Highlands Senior Living Jefferson was very informative. The people were very nice, and it was really a good experience. That was actually our first experience looking at any place. I like the staff a lot. He was very informative. He answered all our questions. Overall, it was a good experience. The apartment was nice. We got there at about lunchtime, and so there were people in the dining room, but we didn't try their food. They have a good variety of foods. Also, it looked like there would be things to do that would possibly interest my sister and my brother-in-law. They accepted pets, too, and that's a big thing because my brother-in-law had two little dogs. I like the place myself. I like the people. The employees seemed happy, and the patrons seemed happy, too. It seems like a nice place."
