The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Clayton County, GA

"I toured The Mansions at Decatur Senior Independent Living. Everything was pleasantly clean. The room had a balcony, which I liked. The few people that I saw seemed to be nice. I just couldn't afford it. The staff who gave the tour was very informative. She contacted me even after the tour. I saw the dining area. It's nothing extravagant, but it's nice. I didn't observe any activities though."

"We moved into Lenbrook. My least favorite thing is having to go up and down the elevator rather than just walk out the door like I did at my house. Other than that, everything else is fine. I have no complaints. They have fabulous workout centers, indoor swimming, croquet, a patio, lounging areas, and outdoor eating when the weather's right. It's just a nice place. The staff members are excellent. They provide the food, and it's been good. Half of the menu is the same every time, and half of it changes every time. The variety is a little bit weak, but I wouldn't downgrade it because of that. There are plenty of things to keep you occupied. They have lectures and movies. It's a great place for animals. We got our dog, and they have Dog Day on Sunday afternoons. It's expensive."

"Canterbury Court was superior. They are expanding their building right now. Everyone was super nice. We visited everything there and my wife was impressed with the furnishing, the program, and the whole shebang. That's the only one in Atlanta that she's thoroughly impressed with. I loved it. They have trips to every symphony and art (I'm an artist). The staff was thoroughly professional and responsible. We did not doubt that we would be well taken care of there. They have all kinds of activities and stuff that I'd be interested in. It was awesome. They had the whole wing and it was very beautiful. The food was delicious. Everything there was first class."

"Smyrna Towers is completely independent living. There are no meals and no hair care. Mom seems to be satisfied with the staff. Her apartment is not handicap accessible. If she ever needs access to handicap things, it will not be an option. The residents are responsible for cleaning their own apartments. They have a common area and it's got a fireplace. They have a little common area for gardening, and I believe they have shuffleboard out back and things like that. They have a gazebo. The facility is well maintained. They have a bus that can take them to the store on particular days, but they provide no meals or anything like that. They have laundry facilities on each floor, but the residents are responsible for doing their own laundry. They don't offer that service."

"I stayed at Park Springs - A Life Plan Community. The physical facility is nice. They do a good job; they keep it up. The landscaping is very good. The housing is excellent. The staff is very friendly and very nice. There are five different dining areas, so you have a wide choice, and they change the selection in the restaurants every week. The food is well prepared, so it's very nice. They have a lot of activities. They have an exercise building with a big pool, a smaller therapy pool, a hot tub, and an exercise area with exercise machines. I would give it a high rating, but it is a retirement community, and they are catering to a certain demographic. It's also expensive, but people are very satisfied."

"I wasn't sure what to think about this place. I live down the street from this business and never knew it was there! The building looks a little bit older styled but it's very clean! It's also half a Senior Residence and a hotel!! The staff is very friendly and the people that live there seem very happy. The only negative thing I will say is that I could not move in there! I toured the apartment style rooms and the accomodations were very reasonable. There was a bed, tv and dresser amongst other things. There's a fridge and kitchenette (I wish there was an actual stovetop though :( ), and all utilities included with the rent. Not a bad deal. I will consider this place in the future for a relative."

"Thank God for Presbyterian Village! My mother fell and broke her jaw in December. She was admitted to the nursing home at Presbyterian Village for rehab and spent 20 days there. Everyone was kind to her and gave her great care! She enjoyed the food and companionship. The only complaint she had was her roommate leaving the television on all night, making it hard to sleep. We are considering moving her from our home to supportive living. I highly recommend Presbyterian Village! The staff works extremely hard and they are conscientious to their residents. "

"My brother has been a resident in the Center for 2 months and he has been taken care of very well. I also have a cousin at the center (oh my God) they love on her as if she was their own. What I like about the Healing & Nursing Center is that if you have any questions or issues they will be addressed immediately. They are a very CLEAN center and have doctors ready to attend to the residents whenever needed. Awesome activities; singing , cross word puzzles and more. I feel as family members we need to check on our family members CONSTANTLY that are residents. I have found when being consistent in visiting and holding individuals accountable everything work out for my loved ones favor. And the Director gives us her email so that if an issue is not resolved, she will step in immediately. I personally give them a 5 star."

"The Mansions at Sandy Springs Senior Independent Living was nice. We would have gone there. All the amenities that we visited were about the same. But the place that we chose was brighter. The staff was very, very nice. This place serves three meals a day."
