Assisted Living Communities in Dayton, TN

"The Courtyard was great; it was up to date and from what I saw, it was fine. She’s living in a three-bedroom apartment with two other women and there’s somebody with them 24/7. She’s got her own closet and bathroom. She’s been there for two weeks. We’re very pleased with The Courtyard. "

"Life Care Center of Rhea County is a new facility with very large window spaces that let lots of light into the rooms. It was very clean. I am already familiar with Life Care services because Mom came from another Life Care facility, so it was an easy transfer. They have daily activities and church on Sundays. The people are kind, and the workers are conscientious and mature. "

"My mother-in-law is a resident of Golden Years Retirement Resort II. The people seem to be very caring. They seem to take a personal interest in her and the family. She had COVID twice, I think, since she's been there, and they've kept us in the process of that. They have a nurse who comes in regularly to see the residents. The nurse has called me personally and we've talked about my mother-in-law. When we go to visit, her room is always clean. The facility is clean. There's no odor. She seems well cared for. However, they don't have rehab there. They don't have physical therapists who come in. They could have more activities that would be better for the residents. She likes the food. It's an older building. The kitchen is small where they prepare the food, and the dining room, however, is very clean. They'll take them to Spring City, a very small town, and the only thing they have is a Dollar Store or something like that, but they do take them on outings. I would like them to have more on-site activities, ideally."

"This place is very quiet. It has a deck and many sitting areas for the residents. Another reason why we chose this place for my mother in law is that it's out in the country. She's used to this lifestyle. Her room is bigger compared to the one she has at home. She has a small table beside her bed, two chairs (one is a rocking chair), her own bathroom, and a nice, small walk in closet. The staff is really nice to her. She actually thinks they are her family. They pay attention to her needs. Since she's diabetic, they make sure her meals are always on time. They give her a small snack whenever she feels weak, they help her prepare for church and get her hair done. They've been great; they keep in touch with us if there are problems. Some activities present in this place are having the residents' nails done, planting flowers and watching TV together. However, it's better if residents have their own TV in their rooms. My mom became healthier after weeks when we brought her to this place. They are really taking good care of her. "

"We visited Legacy Village of Cleveland, which was a very premier facility. We wanted it, but it was out of our budget. I liked the architecture, the layout of the rooms, and the food. The food was excellent. We ate lunch there. The food was very pleasing to the eye and looked like a good variety. The facility was spacious. It is near restaurants, near the interstate, easy to get to, and it is near my home."

"When looking for a place for my mother I interviewed with I believe all the facilities within a 50 mile radius. I wanted an apartment for my mother that would extend assisted living privileges yet I/she really wanted it to be so that she would feel at home and not as if she was in a nursing home type environment. After checking the other places I interviewed Garden Plaza. I was amazed at everything they had to offer and how well everything was maintained. A dear friend of ours has lived there for around 5 years and no complaints from her. The apartment as well as the common areas were well maintained and there wasn't any odors at all. I have this thing about odors and so did my mother. She would walk in a place and if there were any odors she would walk out. The dining area is wonderful and serves even greater food. Being checked on in the apartment throughout the day is also a plus. Knowing my mom has her independence yet someone is popping in to say hi and see if you need anything means so much to me. It gives her someone to talk to on a regular basis even if it is just for a moment, and knowing they are actually dong regular checks on her means the world. they have a swimming pool that has an instructor who is also a resident. This means the residents aren't intimidated by a much younger person feeling like they are being pushed too hard. The apartment itself has a pull cord in the event mom needed emergency help. It has kitchen area that is actually pretty large for an apartment as well as the bedroom and bath. The staff will come in and make the beds and do the linens for her as well. They have regularly scheduled events for the residents to enjoy. There is a beauty shop on site which is great for those ladies who like to get their hair done once a week. There are so many great things they offer that anyone looking for an assisted living facility would want it's unreal. In my checking around Garden Plaza would get a 10/10 compared to the other facilities because the staff is wonderful and friendly, the facility itself is very well maintained, they have a lot to offer the residents and the price was actually lower in a few cases compared to other facilities. There was just something about Garden Plaza that says "you are Home".....I'm a "review reader" myself and question those that sound too good to be true. I would suggest stopping by and see for yourself, but make Garden Plaza that last one your tour because your gonna want to stay when you get there. I am only 52 but if I were able I would live there in a split second. I love it and so does my friend. Unfortunately mom passed before she got to experience Garden Plaza. I know she would have loved it and I also would have had a lot less worries about mom knowing she was in such great hands.... My good friend still lives there and has no plans on moving...... "

"Dominion of Athens is very good. I like that they don't just keep their memory care residents in their rooms. They take them out into the common area all day. They just had a watermelon party the other day where they took them on the porch and had watermelon. They have pizza parties, too, and people that come in to visit and sing. They have all kinds of activities. I also like the price and the care that my mom gets. They fix her three meals a day and the food is great."

"I would like to thank the staff and therapist for all the great care I got while I was recovering from my knee replacement. I would recommend Life Care Center of Athens to anyone seeking in house therapy and skilled nursing care. "

"We have chosen Avail Senior Living for my mother-in-law. Their studio room is very spacious, and they provide a small refrigerator and a microwave. It is a newer facility, it's just a year old. It is very bright and airy, and there's a lot of sunlight coming through. They have sunrooms with skylights. They have a nice little courtyard and screened porches. The dining room was nice and spacious. Carrie was the one who gave us a tour of the place. She was great and we even talked to the owner, and they were both accommodating."

"My Dad was a resident there for three plus years until his death. While at Morning Pointe my dad could not have received better care. The staff at morning Pointe of Athens, TN is top notch who provided quality care for my dad. They assisted the family in a gracious and kind fashion. The .staff and the residents seem to become a family very quickly. I really cannot say enough positive things about the staff at Morning Pointe of Athens, TN. Even though my dad is no longer there the Morning Pointe staff is still very much like a family to us. I have given Morning Pointe of Athens, TN a five star rating and would give more if it were appropriate. "

"Morning Pointe of Hixson is a nice place. It's a new building. The staff who gave the tour was very nice. The rooms were very nice and clean. The dining area was very nice, too. I don't know anything about the food except it was cooked from scratch. As for activities, they have a walking activity, they have physical therapy, and they have an exercise class."

"My wife has been at Life Care Hixson two times ; first time: for rehab after total knee replacement and then as out patient rehab.; Second time for rehab for post op open heart surgery . Both times our experience has been complete satisfaction with the facility, the nursing staff, the Physical Therapy staff , and the overall attitudes and responses of the highly motivated people who supply constant and caring support to my wife. Thank you "

"Get everything you are promised in writing! Nice place, but little details can make a difference to a parent. Ask to see contract you will be asked to sign on move in to have more accurate perspective. We've been able to work out issues, but it was a bit stressful when we realized things were not exactly as we had been led to believe they would be. "

"I chose Memory Lane at Forest Plaza as it is a small residential home, and my father does better in smaller settings. The staff is very compassionate and caring, and they worked very well with whatever the resident wants to do so if anybody wants to go for a walk, they go for a walk with them. The rooms are well-maintained and are adequate size for twin beds. The food is excellent, and my father loves it; he has put on 8lbs since he has been there. The dining area is setup as a regular dining room table, and they all sit around the same table. They do and they have done outings, they have family picnics, pumpkin carving with the families, and they go to the park to walk; he keeps pretty active. What really stood out to me was it has a home feeling instead of an institutional feeling. "
