"Everything seems to be going OK at Thrive at Green Island. My husband's room is clean and nice, and we brought our own furniture. He said the food is fine. All these people have Alzheimer's, so the activities are very limited. The staff is good, and the facility is very nice."

"Oaks at Grove Park impressed me the most. It was clean and well maintained. They have friendly staff. The one-bedroom was spacious. The dining room was pretty big. They offer you the option of either eating in the dining room or having it taken to your room. They have a salon that you can use for an extra charge, and they have a workout therapy room you can go use. Everything I've seen was clean. There were no bad odors around anywhere, like you find sometimes if you go to a nursing facility. The outside was maintained. It had a nice garden area. When the weather permits, the residents can sit outside. Everybody I met was real friendly. The lady that gave me the tour introduced me to people in the dining area and the people who handle the entertainment for the residents. Everybody seemed real friendly. All the common areas and the dining room that I've seen were 5 stars. The room that was available that they showed me was being cleaned up from a previous resident. They were doing everything, including replacing carpet and painting the walls. It would have been a place that I would want to live in."

"My mother moved in four weeks ago. Prior to her moving, I had some food there, and it was OK. They have three meals a day. We picked it because it was one level and small. My mother is 92 years old and showing signs of dementia, so it was a plus for us that it was small and one level because she has trouble finding her room. If it was multi-level, it would have been too much for her. They don't have nurses on staff 24 hours a day. "

"I am interested in Legacy Reserve at Old Town. It's where I would probably go, but I would like to consider a community that's a lot less costly. I like it because they have rooms or apartments that have their own entrance and exit. I doubt by the time I'm ready to move that one of them would be available, but that's what I would like to have. I like freedom of going in and out without walking down the hallways. I have difficulty with my breathing so a lot of walking is hard for me. They have three different restaurants within the facility to have your meals, and the big highlight is they have a heated indoor pool. The only way I can do exercise is in the water. It does not hurt my breathing if I'm in the water. I can move very quickly, like jogging in the water. That is what I want, but the price a month is very steep. The apartments looked nice, not real spacious, but I can understand why they're not real spacious. They were impressive. The staff member during the tour was informative and helpful. They'd only been up a few weeks when I visited, and they only had 25 residents at the time. They had happy hour and no charge for the drinks. I wish there was something similar to that that was less costly."

"I had my mom in Mountainside of Warm Springs, and she loved it there. The girls there were great. I couldn't have asked for anything to be any better. It was an assisted living area, but my understanding is that the government was going to help me pay the $4295 for a room with no roommate, but they weren't. I came to find out I had to pay the $4295 for 120 days. That did not even mean that she was going to be approved or not, and then they would not refund my money. I couldn't do it, so I had to move her to a different nursing home. It's a beautiful facility. I wish my mother could have afforded to stay there because they took excellent care of my mother. It was just awesome. She was there for five days and then that's when we found out that I could not afford it, thinking that the VA was going to help me with it. If I could have afforded to leave her in there, the VA after 120 days would have taken care of her all the way. The girls over there just loved my mom. They were on it."

"Covenant Woods is a very large community. We have a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment. The good part is I don't have to do any cooking because all of the meals are provided, though I have a hard time getting used to an a hour and a half each meal. It takes a long time because you have to get down there and get a table, and then you wait, they bring one thing, wait, and then you finally finish your meal. If you do that three times a day, it eats up all the hours. It's pretty decent for what it is. The staff is very good, and they have a bus that's handicap-accessible. They came right up to our house the day we moved and picked my wife up. I didn't have to load her into a car, so that was good. They do the same thing for doctors' visits, so it's very convenient. We exercise twice a week and have bingo and different groups that come in for entertainment, like square dancers and bands. During the Christmas holidays they have a lot of choirs who came in. They have something going about every day that usually lasts from half an hour to an hour. They have a beauty and barber shop here that's pretty convenient. "

"First, I love the location. The Landings is located in a very quiet and serene area with nature as it's neighbor. My mom was treated with excellent and loving care by the entire staff. I want to express my sincere gratitude for nurses Ashley and Dorca. They showered my mother with so much loving care that it left a profound impression on me and my family. Thank you to Director Tracy, Angela, Lisa, Monica and the rest of the amazing staff at The Landing. Highly recommend."

"The Gardens at Calvary is a very nice community. They have lots of activities, good food, and the place is clean. They play bingo, craft activities, and somebody was singing for them dressed as a cowboy last week, which my mother enjoyed so much. They also have medical help; she has a buzzer on her neck, and when she pushed the button when she had trouble with her TV and radio, they came to help her. Mother says she hasn't seen a cleaner place. They mow the grass and at certain times in the morning, they empty the trash cans out. She said they do it more often than we think."

Even though they did not know who I was, they talked to me. The lady that did the tour was very helpful and called me several times to check on Mom. I was just very pleased with the facility and staff. The location was convenient, and the grounds were beautiful. It had a serene atmosphere. The rooms were adequate, and it felt homey, like a small community. They all knew each other. If she gets better, that's where I would want her to go."

"Researching and visiting CCRC's in the Southeast over several years, we were fortunate to find Spring Harbor here in Columbus. While we loved our beautiful home in the mountains, we were growing weary of shoveling snow, raking leaves and dealing with all the maintenance issues of home ownership. It was the perfect meeting of "need" and "place"; we love our villa and our dogs are perfectly happy with their new home too! "

"My father has been at Lakewood Senior Living of Smiths for seven years, and he is happy. It is small, there are only 16 residents, and the people that work there are just wonderful. He has a one-bedroom apartment with a big closet, a big bath, and a bedroom. I love the food. They have lots of activities going on all the time. A lot of it is church centered. They have sitting exercises. It is like a home type environment, and there are no shared rooms. In the last two years, he has gotten a little quarrelsome because he is 98 years old, and they just handle him very nicely. I am very pleased with that. "

They were more up-to-date, the place was clean, and they had activities. It was just immaculate. The communication was great. The nurse on duty that day was excellent. He gave us all the information and he told us that we could call back if we had any other questions. They were just perfect. I would recommend Valley Park Manor."

Seniors and families looking for resources that may help make assisted living more affordable should consider the following options, which also list where to get help if an assisted living facility’s practices are concerning.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| VA Aid and Attendance Benefits | (762) 408-1327 | Veterans of the U.S. military and their spouses who currently reside in senior living facilities can apply for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit to help cover some of their costs. Various criteria can affect the monthly payments, with the maximums being $1,881 for an individual vet, $2,230 for a couple and $1,209 for a surviving spouse. Vets who are unsure if they’re eligible can check by using the free online tool provided by VeteranAid.org. |
| GeorgiaCares | (866) 552-4464 | Georgia Cares is a program administered by the Division of Aging Services. It’s for seniors who need more information and assistance regarding Medicare and is entirely free of charge. Seniors meet face-to-face or by phone with counselors who can help them access their coverage requirements and identify potential shortfalls. The counselors can then explain the different Medicare-related options available, which may include private health care insurance. However, the counselors are unbiased. They won’t try to sell insurance plans. Their additional services include helping with appeals. |
| Georgia Medicaid – Long-Term Services and Supports | (404) 657-5468 | Medicaid is unable to help low-income seniors cover room and board costs in their assisted living facilities. However, it may be able to meet some other costs, such as transportation for medical appointments and medications. The Community Care Services Program (CCSP) is a waiver available to seniors who satisfy certain conditions. These include that their income levels don’t exceed the maximum allowed by the waiver, that they are U.S. citizens, or legal residents, and that their main home is in Georgia. Seniors must also provide proof that the care they receive is suitable for their needs. |
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (229) 432-1124 | Seniors in residential care communities can call on the help of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman if they have issues with the care they are receiving. The ombudsman will investigate complaints and pursue a resolution between the senior and their facility’s owners. Families and third parties can also register their concerns about care standards. |
Columbus-area assisted living communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all assisted living communities in Georgia are required to follow. Visit our Assisted Living in Georgia page for more information about these laws.
