Assisted Living Communities in Swainsboro, GA

"I went to look at the Greenwood Place Retirement Community. The lady I talked to was very helpful. I told her all my wife's conditions and needs, and she thought that they could help her there. She listened and explained things very well. The place was very clean and nice. The people were very friendly. I really liked it. She said they had 30 rooms. I have no complaints there whatsoever. They had a TV in a room where they could sit and watch TV. My concern was my wife's health and mobility problems. She's on oxygen, and they said that wouldn't be a problem. My wife's medicine would have to come through them, and that was very informative. Medicines would come in packages according to the days and times. I was impressed with the decor. It was very nice. I thought the price was very reasonable."

"This home was sold in 2012. The new owners are wonderful. 2 of them are Registered Nurses. The staff is the best. Highly trained. The home is licensed for 24 and has sufficient staff to cover the amount residing there as required by the state of Georgia. This is an awesome place for mom or dad to stay. They provide assistance with meds, bath, laundry, meals and much more. They gave me information on how to apply for financial assistance. It really helped. They have a few residents who still drive. We used my parents own furniture and belongs which made everything go so much smoother. "

"All the residents at Summer Willow seem to love each other, just like a big family. They got nice rooms, and everybody got their own bath. The dining room was very nice, and the food was very good. They charge you $5 if you eat with your parent. They play bingo Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, they have church on Sunday, and they have movie day with Coke and popcorn on Saturday. Tuesday is their shopping day, and they take them to Wal-Mart if they are able and let them shop. The staff were very helpful, and everybody seems real caring. All the doors are locked at 6:00, and they have to ring the doorbell because they won't let anybody get in unless they knock on the door. "

"We toured The Cauley House. The rooms were big. The room that my mother-in-law would share with a partner was a good size, but it's an older facility. The staff who toured us were very, very helpful. They have some activities for them. They would have somebody come in and play games with them. They have a front porch they could get out and sit on. There's not a whole lot. The cleanliness was good. In terms of location, there are a couple of little fast-food places."

"We are residents of Southern Manor at Candler Assisted Living. The upkeep is very good. We have a two-room apartment. They pretty much take care of everything. They fed us three meals a day. They do our laundry. They'll come in and clean your house if you want to. There's a registered nurse on duty and a couple of CRNs. They handle all our medications. So far it's been great. The staff is great. They're all quite friendly. They know everybody by name and they provide whatever we need. The food's always good. We have 2 or 3 different cooks. So things change occasionally. We don't have the same boring meals all the time. We have an activities director. I have dialysis three days a week, so I can't participate in a lot of things, but something is going on all the time. It costs, but it's worth it."

"My parents used to live at Bethany Assisted Living. It was clean and a newer facility. It was very spacious. The people there were really nice and kind. The staff was very caring. They went out there to check on people because they loved and cared for them so much. It was a little expensive, but the level of care they offered was excellent. I had seen a lot of facilities and I would honestly say Bethany was one of the best facilities. "
