My friend is at The Retreat at Conyers. I plan on moving her because the staff has changed and the nursing care was dropping. By the time I said, "You got major problems over here," things started to get better. I can't rate them because we're not allowed to go inside. There is no way for us to evaluate them. My friend can't give me feedback. I have no way of knowing if she's getting her shower twice a week, if she's staying dry, and how her skin is. I can't do that. I'm an RN and I have no ability to assess. I have to trust in them totally. I find from other people in assisted living that this is the same thing everywhere during this horrible virus.
About 50% of the staff members that were there in January when I was able to interact with them are not there now, so I can't tell you about the new staff. That was the major concern. I have no way of knowing the abilities of the staff, the caring of the staff, and everything else. My friend has hospice with her, and she has started to decline. The facility was very nice and the food was good when I could go. They were doing quite well. There was not a problem until the families were shut out, and then she started to go down to isolation. These people weren't even allowed to go into the dining room in their building. Their building has 30 patients in it with a separate dining area, and everything is all together, but they're forced to be in their rooms for two months. They could come to the door and that's it, and that was just devastating mentally for them.
Every November the costs go up and so the difference now is probably $1,000 more a month compared to how it was when she first moved in, and that's a lot.

I liked the way it looked, and the people there recommended it. I liked that they had exercises and activities to keep them busy. They have different levels of care, and it sounded like they have good care overall. It was better than any motel room you could have stayed in.

I visited about a month ago. It was great. We saw everything, we did a tour. We saw their 1-bedroom apartment, which had a kitchenette, and was up-to-date and clean. The staff was very pleasant. The dining area looked fine; I was impressed. There was an art room, a Bingo room, and a movie room.

It was a very beautiful place, and the apartments were extremely nice. It’s got a chapel built right in down on the first floor, a little movie theater for the residents where they show movies a couple of times a week, and a cafeteria which is nice, and the food is good. Very nice setting and very close to hospital and doctors offices.

My friend is here. It’s a very good and well-maintained community. She says that the staff is wonderful. It’s also convenient for her as it’s close to her house. They have different of levels of care and that makes a difference. The dining room is beautiful. It’s a really gorgeous place. They actually take their residents out in the community, which is very good. They go to lunch and shopping and do a lot with the seniors.

My aunt had stayed at this community. The personnel there were wonderful. They had a lot of activities. The food was wonderful. I ate there a lot. They had very nice big rooms. It was like a little studio apartment. It was secured. There was somebody at the door all the time. I was totally pleased with them.

It was an excellent facility, unlike the facility where my mom is now. They have aging in place and as your life changes, the quality of care can change and it could be upgraded so you wouldn’t have to leave to go to another facility. What I also like is that they have independent living as well as a whole section of one-bedroom apartments so you can live there on your own and have a kitchen to cook for yourself.
Part of their amenities package is you get to have one meal a day at the assisted care facility -- it’s your choice of whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You also get the benefit of participating in any of the activities. Once again, you could live independently, but you’re not alone. You don’t feel like you are by yourself. I didn’t see the independent living apartments, but I saw the apartments in the assisted living area. The apartments were nice -- they were like studio apartments and they had a bathroom. You could also have your own refrigerator and microwave. People in the assisted living section got all of their meals with the program and you have your personal furniture there.

It is convenient to where we live and financially, it is a better place for my sister's budget. The staff is wonderful. Their cleanliness is excellent. They have people to clean the rooms and they are all good. The offer activities and she goes to a lot of them. They have bingo, movies, billiards, card tables and arts and crafts. They take them out shopping and they have worship service. They try to have the whole gambit covered. She is very happy there and I have nothing negative to say about them.

It looked very nice. The woman who gave us the tour was very nice and professional. She was really trying hard to get us into it. The facility was very clean and spacious. They have a pool table room and a library. She told us that they did things like bingo. The dining room was big.

People who were in the facility looked very well taken care of and they were very, very happy. The place was immaculate. The elderly people who were in wheel chairs were truly very happy people; they were just ecstatic. I've never seen that in a nursing home or anywhere where there was so much happiness in an elderly home. I've visited some residents that were bedridden and in separate rooms, and they were very clean, very rested, and very well taken care of.

It was a very very nice facility. It was super! I like best its cleanliness and the program they offer. Their rooms were very nice. They have several things for their residents including some outside activities. The one staff we came in contact with was very nice and very helpful. The people staying there seemed to be very happy as well.

I've been to The Retreat at Conyers a couple of times and I have a feeling they may not have any openings right now because their staff has not called me lately. My doctors are out in that area of town, so sometimes when I was going to the doctor, I would just stop by and if the staff had time, she'd talk with me or show me the facility. I've been in one or two of the apartments there, but I guess it just wasn't good timing because it didn't work out. The staff was very sweet, very good, took me around, and talked to me about whatever. That's been a couple of months or so ago, so the Covid thing was still fairly strong, you couldn't really go around like you probably would like to, but we did the best that we could. I liked the location. It's maybe 10 miles or so from where I currently live, so for my family's sake, that would be convenient. I met a couple residents and they were all real nice, and the staff during the tour was very helpful. She gave me a lunch to take home one of the days, and it was okay.

We chose The Retreat at Conyers, basically because my mother was familiar with the area. Her room was very spacious, but due to coronavirus, no one was allowed inside. Because of coronavirus, they don't have activities right now. I think most of the food is pretty good. They have all the activities but they're not using them right now. There's the coronavirus, and you can't do anything.

Remington House is nice and the people are friendly, but they have to go outside and walk down a walkway to get to the main dining hall. You can have your meals brought to you, but for people who like to dine in the dining hall, you have to walk outside for three or four minutes to get there. This place has both assisted and independent living. The staff is nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. The apartment that she is getting is very nice. My mother likes it. It has a full size refrigerator, a built-in microwave, the bedroom is big enough to fit her full size bed, and the bathroom and the living room are a nice size. It's a very comfortable apartment just for her. She can get two meals a day, and she can get a third if she pays for it. They do different types of activities and it's very clean.

Our visiting experience was great. Unfortunately, the apartment that was available didn’t have a shower. It only had a bath tub, so my mom wouldn’t take it. I think they had a salon; there was an exercise area and a library. It was really nice.
There was stuff going almost every day. They had arts and crafts. Two days a week they would take them out to doctor appointments or shopping. It was a community dining room, and it was restaurant service. With the independent-living, it’s one meal a day. If you wanted to do more, it was like $5 a day for each meal. The apartment had its own kitchen and a stove. You can cook for yourself -- which was nice.

It is nice, and it was clean. They have a lot of things for the residents to do and activities planned, like entertainment. The dining area was nice. I met with the assistant director, and she was nice.

It is close by my residence. Aside from the location, we also chose this facility because my mother liked it best among the facilities we visited. I also like that it is a large campus. There are plenty of places to go. There is independent living on one side and assisted living on the other side. My mom is in the independent living for about a week now. Their rooms seem to be nice. Regarding activities, there seems to be an abundance of them there. They have bingo, exercise, arts and crafts, puzzles, etc. In fact, my mother has already participated in a few of them. They have a real nice lunch, which is their main meal, and they would serve it in such a way that people are sitting together and nobody is left out. I've eaten there more than once. It's not homecooking but it's good. My mom was under a lot of stress going into a place like this, but we have seen great improvement so far. Right now, she seems to be satisfied being there.
