The Best Senior Living Communities in Dudley, GA

"Feel comfortable with your family member or friend in the care of this facility. The patient comes first here as they should. They are professionals and can be trusted."

"We have no complaints with Twelve Oaks. It's very clean. The food is kind of bland, but that is to be expected in an assisted living. The staff is friendly and very accessible. They do have activities, but Philip doesn't participate in any. Twelve Oaks is highly recommended. "

" I was a patient in the rehab section of Shamrock Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center for two months in early 2018. I was very impressed with the professionalism and compassion of all staff members with whom I came in contact -- nursing, housekeeping, dietary, rehabilitation, and front office. The facility was extremely clean, with absolutely no odor often associated with nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. The meals were excellent; definitely a cut above standard institutional food. A full-time activities director coordinates a wide range of activities to help residents and patients have something to look forwd to and pass the time. I would not hesitate to recommend Shamrock to anyone interested in a nursing home or in an inpatient rehabilitation center."

"My mother-in-law is a resident of Heritage House. We're very happy with it because she's happy there. She loves her room and is very relaxed and confident with all the folks there. We have no complaints whatsoever so far. They're always very pleasant and very attentive. Any time that we go, it's not hard to find someone. They make themselves available. They're upgrading and correcting anything that might be wrong, and that's ongoing. I've seen some of the projects they're working on. They have televisions in the common areas, and most residents have a TV in their rooms. They also have outside folks coming in, and they have group time together and things like that. It's very nice. As for the value, it's quite fair."

"My husband is in Southland Healthcare and Rehab. The nurses take good care of him, and he's happy. They keep the residents from running away, and everybody there seems to be reasonably happy. Some of them sit outside on the porch and talk to the people who come through the door. His room is adequate with a bathroom and sink, cabinets and so on. I wasn't able to get him some things so they were given to him until I was able to replace them. The staff keeps his catheter clean all the time. I wasn't able to get him pants when we had relatives coming over to visit, so the nurse went and got him a pair from the laundry. I would recommend them."

"I toured Emerald City Lodge with the retired educators, and the lady came up to speak to us during one of our meetings, but since it was the first one I toured, I was impressed with this one also because the facility is smaller. The dining area and everything was nice, well set-up. I was impressed with the staff. They talked about the fact that if you move in, you could have keep your own vehicles, and once you're able you can leave whenever you wanted to. The facility is close to the downtown area."

"My sister is in the memory ward of Advanced Health and Rehab of Twiggs County. They don't keep up with things too well, but I haven't had major issues yet. The rooms are sufficient. She's in a double room, and there are two beds in there and a television. It's just a basic room and she's got a closet and drawers on her side. It's kept pretty clean. They were jumping around, dancing and singing along with the music while I was there, and there's a piano as well. They have an activities director."

"The staff at Bryant Health & Rehab doesn't change our dad's diaper as quickly as we prefer when he uses the bathroom. But other than that, everybody is friendly, and he seems comfortable and likes the food. Overall, it's a good place. The staff seems to care, and it didn't have the nursing home atmosphere that a lot of other places do."

"Oconee Heath is crowded, relatively small, and outdated. It doesn't really have a comfortable lounge, a TV, or living room space. I found that all of the employees cluttered around the front door. The rooms were small with three people to a room. I didn’t like anything about it, even though my brother is there. I am thinking about moving him. The tables were not comfortable. "

"The staff are very helpful and my grandmother knows them all by name, however they always seem short. There is a nurse always available to help my grandmother and at times she can be a handful. The rooms are too small for two person living. Two rooms (4 people) share the same restroom with a toilet and sink. They don't take into consideration who they make roommates either. My grandmothers roommate mostly sleeps and when she is awake she yells. The only words you can make out are the curse words. They have a nice yard for the elderly, but I rarely see anyone outside. The only time my grandmother goes outside is when we take her, I think it is due to the facility being under staffed. "

"I liked the ratio as far as staff to clients at Agape Personal Care Home. There's more personal or hands-on care. The activities were good also and that was the first thing I liked. They had bingo, birthday parties, game nights, and outings. They have three cooked meals a day, but they don't have a chef. The staff was very helpful, informative, and forthcoming with information."

"My mom is a former resident of Pinewood Retirement Villa. The care she received there is not what you would expect your parent to have. According to my mom, the food is terrible. They should improve on cleanliness. They need professional staff, activities for the residents, and medical care."
