The Best Senior Living Communities in Douglasville, GA

"I toured Carriage Crossing Marietta. The overall tour was excellent. We loved the facility. The person who conducted the tour was very informative. She was very friendly and answered all the questions that we had. So overall, we were pleased. We didn't try any meals because lunch was over when we got there, but the overall appearance of the dining room was excellent. Also, the fact that they posted menus on the table was very impressive."

"I toured Creekside Pines Retirement Community. We walked through all the floors, and the rooms were nice. I liked their dining hall and how they set it up to eat and get drinks and things throughout the day. I have a cat, and there was a place where the pets could play. It had all kinds of amenities that would appeal to me as an older person. The people in the office were very nice, especially the person who took me around and showed me where everything was and where the laundry was done. They had one person who did all the laundry, and she also pulled it and brought it to your room. You can get a one-bedroom rather than just a studio, which quite a few have around here. I like that you could have a bedroom and a nice kitchen. The rooms were painted freshly, and there wasn't a dirty corner. Everything was in place. It's well taken care of, even though I didn't see many people rushing around to do things."

"Ignite at Palmetto Park was a nice community, but they didn't have a vacancy. The staff was very nice. It was clean."

"I visited Woodland Ridge Assisted Living & Memory Care. They offer hair appointments, there's a cafeteria, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and there are common areas for sitting. There are planned activities, and they have bingo. They also have a bus that runs a schedule that will take you to the grocery store and things like that. They offer laundry services for a separate fee. I was completely fine with that facility. It was my mother that didn't want to move. The staff was very informative and friendly. I saw them interact with the residents. We did talk to a couple of the residents who said that the food was very good, and we were able to view the menu of what they were having daily. The residents are required to go to the cafeteria to eat. They're not allowed to bring the food from the cafeteria to the rooms. I saw three rooms for a single person category. They were all very well-maintained, clean, and very nice rooms. You could see the view from inside the building. Some of the apartments overlooked the common sitting area. It had benches and nice landscaping. It was a clean facility. It had live-in support, a small dog that the residents all interacted with. You could tell they all knew and loved the dog."

"My mother has been at Smyrna Village for about a week now. First of all, I like that it's pretty quiet. The staff is nice. They took control of getting the application processed and the switching of the doctor. They did a very good job of doing that for me. She's in a private room there. Another thing I found that's pretty cool is they supply the toiletries and stuff like that, and I thought that was a nice touch. The staff is very helpful and the communication is pretty good. They always answer the phone and they go through the process of actually helping you. I had Thanksgiving dinner with them. They have a cook at the location, which I thought was good. So, the food was hot. They have a nice active common area. The residents are interacting in the common area."

"Peachtree Creek Memory Care was very, very nice. There's a lot of room for seniors to walk around outside and inside. They have a large patio deck on the back with music playing out back and people out there just having a good time and having a lot of fun, The people are really easy to work with. The room is small, but there's enough room for a bed, a chest or drawer, a chair, and a nightstand. It's got a bathroom with a sink and toilet. They have an activities director from 9 to 6 and she stays involved with them and keeps activities going all day long. They have music out there. The building is very nice. It's like a square with four communities on each corner, and each community has rooms in it. Each one has a living room, dining room, kitchenette, and two showers. Everything's open, so they can wander around anywhere they want to go."

"We toured Oaks at West Cobb. The grounds were beautiful. The staff was great. They're all very kind and welcoming, and they speak to my mother-in-law. They ask her what she wants. They're not just talking to me. They're talking to her, which is good because just because she's older doesn't mean she doesn't have her own opinion. I appreciated that, and I'm sure she did too. Their dining program looked very nice. They have a menu where you can choose what you want."

"My dad moved to Country Gardens Senior Living, which looked like an old Victorian house. There were only 40 rooms, and it was small. The staff was very personable. They kept me in the loop and were very good with the patients. They have daily activities, and all the people participate in them."

"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."

"My dad has moved into Greenwood Place. He likes it, so that's all that matters. It seems like a really good place for him to spend the rest of his days. I pretty much like everything about it. Everybody seems friendly and knowledgeable. They know what to do in any situation, so that's all that matters. I like everything about the building. The only thing that is a minor concern is that my dad would have to be on the second floor and some of the stuff is on the first floor. For activities, they have puzzles, coloring pages, different games, and a simulated boxing thing, which I thought was weird at first, but they're just sitting there and pretending to punch. They're not punching anything, they're just exercising."

"I visited Angels PCH LLC. It's a nice place and very clean, too. The housemaker or the house owner showed me around and told me everything. They explained the whole situation between assisted living and independent group living and whatnot. The rooms are clean and well-maintained. The beds were made up. She was cooking, made me some cornbread, and gave me good corn muffins. It was clean all the way around and the grass was well cut. The porch was clean and didn't have any clutter. The tables and chairs were neatly arranged and were very comfortable, you could sit out on the porch and enjoy nature."

"My mom moved to Heartis Buckhead. The staff is very attentive. They have programs that my mom will be able to participate in and socialize daily. The meals and the nutrition are excellent all day. The facility is pretty new. It's very accommodating for her needs, a very nice facility, and very nice rooms. The apartments are appointed very nicely and are very updated. I witnessed art, jewelry making, and then card games. They provide fitness every day also. I think in terms of the activities, they're appropriate for the cognitive ability of each one of the residents. The staff that runs everything is all very good. The facility is outstanding."

"Brookdale Carrollton is the one I like the best. They seem to have what my dad needed. And they explained everything better to us than the other did. The food smelled good, too. The apartment we saw would be basically for a single adult man. I think it was great. It's all he needs. It was where he could move around and do what he needed to do. They showed us the big gathering room where they have activities. They showed us the dining room, and they have a library and things like that, too. It was clean. The staff members were great."

"We visited Oaks at Acworth and we liked the size of the suites and the lower residents to caregivers ratio. They had an outdoor walking trail, game nights, and stuff like that. They had a large dining area that was not too crowded and a beauty salon/barbershop on site. The staff we met was very friendly and easy to get along with."
