The Best Senior Living Communities in Griffin, GA

"Oaks at Fayetteville is a nice place. I would recommend it. I didn't have much of a tour because the lady that was supposed to lead the tour was not there that day. She was supposed to be in, but she wasn't. We looked at the room and kind of looked around a little bit. It wasn't much of a tour, but it was a nice place. It's a really nice place. The amenities are really good. They've got very good assisted living programs. They have music, movies, and bingo. They have just about anything you want to do to stay busy. The dining area was very clean, very nice-looking, and very tempting to eat. "

"We like Beehive Homes of Stockbridge Memory Care. It was very clean. The lady who showed us around was very informative and answered our questions. I saw her in action with some of the clients there and she was very patient with them. We like the way the rooms were set up and we like her personality and the care that she showed the patients. There were a couple of things I didn't like though. I didn't like the distance that I had to walk. You can't pull up right up close to the front, so if you have elderly people, it makes it hard to get them in and out. It was all clean, and I didn't see anything wrong with that. It's just the convenience of getting to the front door. I just feel like you need to be able to pull closer than we were able to. With regards to amenities, they serve three meals, and they have a courtyard."

"Dream Catchers is set in a country type atmosphere in a wooded area. They have animals and a garden, they have trails that people can walk on or ride their scooters or wheelchairs on with assistance from the nurses, and people that are there -- especially with people with dementia that like to get out and walk, do their exercise -- are always assisted by one of the workers that is there. They are never allowed to go out on their own. They do have individual rooms for the assisted living, and then they also have a main facility where the kitchen and dining room is. There are private rooms and semi-private rooms for those with dementia, so they have facilities for both. If I could give them a ten, I would just because of the fact that it is airy, people can travel outside and relate to nature and stuff, and that is something that my mother-in-law would be very comfortable with. She would like an area like that, to be able to walk through the trail that they have there and have the garden area with the animals and different things because where she lives is a very remote area, so this is something that she would dearly love. The attendants, the facility, and just all of it is very reassuring, and it is a very nice place. "

"Overall, I was unable to come in for a tour that had a very good conversation with my name, Alek, and I left the conversation feeling very positive for my mom in the future. I'm in the very early beginning stages of research. when I called the front desk, the lady, I think her name was Kimberly, was very nice and got me directed straight to the personnel. I needed to be, too, and it was not delayed... The last time, It was very confusing to speak with, and the information I got from that employee was not clear. I called back in April. So, that tells me good things are changing."

"My mom will move into Carriage Crossing Mt. Zion. It was very pleasant. The people were very informative. It was clean, and everything was up to standards. The size of the room was good. The upkeep is very good. The dining area was very clean and sanitized, and it was up to par."

"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 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."

"I visited the Governor's Glen Memory Care Community. It was well-kept. The workers were friendly and seemed to be knowledgeable about the care that they offer. The dining area was clean. They offered three meals a day with snacks. They have games that they play, and they have a recreation room with TV accommodations."

"My mom moved into Allegiance Personal Care Memory Care. The owner is very attentive. She keeps us updated constantly. I feel that my mom is very safe and well cared for. The owner is absolutely wonderful. The staff members are caring and attentive. They have just gotten to know my mom so well, and I really appreciate their attention to her and keeping her safe. They are just doing a great job. They have very simple food, but I think it's appropriate for their age. The owner helped me get some supplements for my mom, and that has worked out really well. It is an older home, but it is perfectly clean. They had music therapy last week, where someone came in and did music with them. They have story time. They have activities."

"My mother was at this nursing home for almost a month before she passed away. It was close to where I live. I think they've done a good job. "

"My mom is in a place called Reliance Healthcare. We have a relative who works there, so she is familiar with the staff and everything, and their staff is awesome. It is a very clean facility. "

"There is one immediate drawback to this place: It's located in a high crime and drug use area; there's a liquor store at the bottom of the hill to one side"”and housing projects to the other. But when you get closer to the facility, it looks like a cute brick house with rockers on the porch and flowering trees outside. Inside on the left are offices; on the right is a sitting room with a big screen TV and good furniture. There are centralized nurses' stations for the 69 beds here"”with only one or two private rooms. There is very little choice about what to eat. And residents don't seem to be taken outside the building for activities much. But on the plus side, it is very clean"”there are rarely odors. There is low staff turnover; the administrator, who is an RN, has been there at least 10 years. And the activities director, who has also been there a long time, is awesome"”always thinking about fun and engaging things to do. The quality of care is great"”there are RNs and LPNs, and even a nurse specifically dedicated to wound care; because there are few beds, they put more time in with residents than at many other facilities. And the administrator takes the time and effort to come out of her office often and monitor the patients. "

"The Woods was very nice. Everyone we talked to and ran into was excellent. They were friendly and very accommodating. I don't have any complaints whatsoever. They did everything they could to show us around and make us feel comfortable. The rooms were good, clean, and had nothing really wrong with them, except the kitchenette was quite small. The grounds were well-kept. We went in the back where there's a little, comfortable place where you could sit outside. From what I’ve seen, I would definitely recommend them. "

"I didn't want to put my mama in any facility but it came to a point where I had to. Since day one these people have treated my mama like family. She loves them so much and they are so good to her. I know she's in the best place for her. The staff and management are amazing!"
