We were only able to walk around the outside of The Social at Vinings, which is not their fault. Due to the COVID restrictions, it was very limited as to what we could do. They were accommodating. They were willing to provide two studio apartments and merge it into one for us. It's smaller, but it looked like a close knit community, well kept, and nice as far as maintenance. It was neat and clean. I liked what they had to offer. I have no problem with them. The admission person seemed friendly enough. I had a good impression. I would've considered it.

It was a nice assisted living, and our visit was very pleasant and very informative. The one-room apartment had a bed, shower and a little kitchen. They had a list of activities, and the dining area was very nice, spacious and beautifully decorated.

Brookdale Vinings was very nice and more of a hotel experience. It had at least two stories. The staff was friendly, and the rooms were smaller but newer. It was more of a studio. They had plenty of activities and amenities. It was a little farther, but it was in a place we were around a lot.

My parents moved in. They have activities like games, bingo, and an area outside that has an actual garden so they can plant what they like. What stands out to me is that the rooms are larger even though it's an older place. It's also a large community, so there's a lot of people to talk to. They don't have things that modern senior places have, they only have the basics, like outdoor sidewalks, and an outdoor courtyard with benches and chairs where you can walk around. They also have a game room, community rooms with a big TV, and conference rooms.

The accommodations seemed clean, nice, and the staff seemed friendly. They're on the smaller side, but I thought they were well thought out since they have a separate unit for Alzheimer's. They also have their own rehab area there. They have activities for the residents and they also take the residents out to local stores. They take the residents one day a week to physicians' appointments on Thursdays, but it's only a 10-mile radius, which I wasn't too happy about. I like that they accommodate the residents' dietary needs and if there's something special that they like, they try to get that for them and add it to the menu. The facility was small, and there were some areas that could've been more developed. They should improve on the size of the rooms, so it would be more accommodating for people with wheelchairs and other devices. They seemed kind of small for people who will be primarily using those devices. There was a lot of staff around. They have housekeeping once a week, but the assistance is rather expensive, like with bathing and things that they need assistance with, and I didn't like that.

I have placed my sister here. It is the best that I have seen anywhere. It is a clean facility. It is a nice location. The staff is nice. The dining room is nice. They have outdoor cookout. Because they are clean, there is no urine odor. It is just a nice place. It also looks better than the other place I go to. The staff is nice. They are courteous to me and to her. They have the room redecorated for her. They are being good to her so far.

My friend has already been placed. I think the staff are so wonderful. The place is nice and clean. The room that she’s in is very nice. I can only give them high praise.

I found it for my mother. I chose it because it was racially mixed. They had Orientals, Blacks, and Caucasian people. I wanted that because my mother came from a racially mixed area. She came from New York; I didn’t want her to go to a segregated place. The people seemed friendly. The staff has been very helpful and kind. They’re very accessible; you can come in all hours if you want to. I think they’re caring people. The maintenance is fine. It seems like a home, like a large hotel. It has a restaurant style eating, and you have a choice of your meals. The rooms have a range of sizes. She’s comfortable in her room. However, for those who are mobile, I don’t think they have the activity that I would like to see. The activity is all very sedentary. But they have promised me they will try to get in some new activities and try to do some things.

I really love this community, but it was too far from friends and relatives to visit. When I drove up, it was like a resort more than a retirement home - very beautiful landscaping. It's pretty much a newer facility, beautiful foyer entry way. It had a look of a grand hall. Even the laundry room was clean. There was a courtyard in the back and it was also fenced. All the rooms were very nice, very well done and good sized. The staff were very friendly.

We would have liked it, but the trouble was the location. It's about 45 minutes from my house. I was in the impression it was nice. The room seemed nice enough and the price was more competitive. The staff was very friendly. One thing about them is that they seem to put a higher premium on physical therapy, because my dad needs therapy. They have in-house therapy staff. The commitment to therapy was a little bit better.

It is a nice facility. My mother in-law’s room is great. I’m very pleased with the staff. They seemed to be very attentive to the residents and they provide good meals. They let you know if there is anything unusual that happened. They have Bingo, Scrabble and entertainers come in. I do a worship service there once a week.

We looked at a one-bedroom apartment and it was very small. There also was no kitchen whatsoever. There was a small under-the-counter refrigerator and a microwave but there was no place for cooking. The front desk people were very courteous both when I called up and when I went there for a quick tour. My wife and I were looking for a senior housing as opposed to a place that provided any kind of care. We haven't reached that stage yet, but basing on my visit there, I would give them a good rating.

My father stayed at here before he passed away. It was a very nice place with a very positive environment. There was a walking trail for the residents to walk around. The residents could participate in different areas or activities which I liked. The staff were very good with my dad, I did not see anything negative about them. I had no negative comments with the facility.

About The Social at Vinings
Just when you thought life by the Chattahoochee couldn’t get any better, The Social at Vinings has raised the bar. Great scenery is just the start. We’ve also instilled a new philosophy on senior living, as fresh as the morning breeze while in the rocking chairs of one of our three courtyards overlooking the Atlanta skyline. See, to us you’re not a senior, you’re a hero. You’ve fulfilled your obligations to your job and raising kids, but you haven’t stopped living. We believe the best part of your life is yet to come.
We have two living options under one roof.
Assisted Living is ideal for residents who value their independence, but may need assistance with daily activities. Our community team members are raving fans of encouraging independence with assistance readily accessible at all times of day.
Memory Care is for our residents who are living with some form of cognitive disability. Every member of our team is NIDE (National Institute for Dementia Education) certified. That includes everyone from the chefs and housekeepers to the concierge and nurses. This allows us to interact with our residents as unique individuals rather than objects in need of care.
What Makes Us Special
We believe that if a community’s focus is strictly on care, they don’t care enough. At The Social at Vinings, great care is just a by-product of bigger and better things.
