Inattentive staff. Staff management at fault, not individual aides. Very sad to see my oldest friend ignored and left in bed for hours or on floor after falling as no one responds to call button.

My 90-year-old dad has lived in independent living at Sterling for almost 10 yrs. He recently commented how friendly everyone at Sterling is, and how helpful they are, "even when the area where they are helping is not even their responsibility.” What a blessing Sterling is to their residents and their families! (He also regularly comments how good the food is!)

Sterling Estates of East Cobb was very inviting and we liked the layout. They didn't have all that many cottages available. I think they had 14, something like that. We were hoping they might have had a few more but they had none available. One would have to go on a waiting list, but frankly, we thought the layout of the place was superb. The staff was very, very helpful and friendly. They answered all of our questions and were very attentive. We did a viewing of the food but we didn't sample it. It certainly looked good and we like the way they organize things. We looked at their independent living cottages. They were very nice and they had all the things that we were hoping they had. We saw people visiting in the lounges, we saw people just talking to each other, and some even came up to talk with us and they were quite friendly.

Sterling Estates of East Cobb is nearest our house, but it's more expensive than the West. The size of the place is only 16 acres. All the facilities are apartment buildings, 3-stories but there are some 2-stories with a garage underneath. They're kind of close together. They call them cottages, but they're apartments. They're large, and well over 2000 square feet. The elevators are relatively old and a little shaky to get up to the third floor. We had a friend who lived in the facility, and we've been into their apartment. It was very nice; however, it was on the third floor. They have since moved in and are now on the ground floor of another apartment within the facility. Another friend lives above them on the second floor of that facility. It's a 2-story and only one of two 2-story facilities in the complex. The tour guide, Laurie, was very enthusiastic. She took us to one of the apartments that were lived in, but the person that lived in it was not at home at the time. She knew that was, and he was amenable to having her show the apartment to customers. It was a large apartment, almost 2400 square feet, 3-bedroom. His wife had passed away three years ago, and he still lives there. The facility came out on the street level, and it had another apartment above it that came down to that entranceway by steps and by elevator from that second level above him. Each of the apartments in that building had an elevator from the garage up to the apartment itself. So, you could take the steps, or you could take the elevator. The facility has a water aerobics pool and a saltwater pool. They had a full exercise facility. But to walk in that area, you'd have to go over into the neighborhood, do a lot of walking because it's a very small, contained facility. When you come into the facility, you turn right and take a drive down the back of the facility's apartments in the main building. Then take a left and go up the hill. There are apartments all around in a circular drive that has parking places on them. Some of the facilities have garages underneath, but not all of them. We did not see any apartment inside the main building. The staff was very enthusiastic, very sure of herself, and knew her business.

My mother is living in Sterling Estates of East Cobb. It's a beautiful place, but it's not run well as far as having enough help, and it was even that way before the pandemic. She's in the assisted living, but if you're independent, they have a lot of activities. They have a pool for aqua aerobics. They have a weight room, they have exercise classes, and they have Bible study classes. They have speakers come. They have a bus that will take people places. I mean, if you're independent, it's probably not a bad place to live. But if you need assistance and also now, they're moving memory care people in there because they need to fill up the rooms and it's not equipped for memory care. They recently had somebody escape from there. It's not secure. They don't have enough help. There's one at the front desk by the front door and she's gone a lot trying to help people. There's nobody standing guard. I wouldn't put my memory care parent there at all. The apartment is nice, with high ceilings, big windows, huge bathroom, which she wanted. She's happy enough with the apartment, it's just you can't get help when you need it. She's moderately satisfied with the meals, but again, with her being in her room and not able to come down to the dining room, they will bring breakfast a lot of times at ten-forty five or 11:00, which I've told them is not acceptable.

My ex-husband is very comfortable at Sterling Estates of East Cobb. Things are going fine, and there are no major complaints. It got awarded the best retirement home of Cobb County. The staff is excellent. It's very upscale for the county. His room is adequate and comfortable. It's a very clean facility. The dining area is exquisite and restaurant type, and he brags that the food is excellent. It has three floors. The entrance and pretty much all sides are brick, and the layout is top notch.

Sterling Estates of East Cobb had a swimming pool, three meals a day served, and maid service once a week. It was a very nice place. The thing we did not like about it was that it did not have a full kitchen, but the food was delicious. They're very caring. The rooms were small. The lady who conducted the tour was very efficient in showing us around and answered our questions, which we really appreciated.

Sterling Estates of East Cobb was smaller and on a 10-acre campus. We liked the independent living. The facilities were gorgeous and very nice, and the people were very nice. The residents all looked pretty happy.

Our mother has lived at Sterling Estates for nearly 3 years, and she is still so happy. The facility is beautiful, the staff couldn't be nicer and the food is really good! There are so many great people there.......residents and workers alike and the overall "vibe" is great. Thank you Sterling for making life so nice for our Mom. We are so lucky!!!!!

Sterling Estates is lovely. That’s where I would go in a heartbeat, but it's expensive. My husband needs special care, and that runs the fee up. It’s very nice and fairly new. Everything is clean and updated. The people are very friendly. They had an open house with a lot of people and had refreshments and nice tour. The community is very nicely landscaped with flowers and green grass.

My father-in-law is at Sterling now. He has some mutual friends there. They allow small pets. The room that he got there is very comparable in size with the one from the other facility. It was a little bit of a different layout, but large enough for him to have a sofa, a recliner, and a little TV area, which is important to him. They have a pool, something the other facility did not have. He has enjoyed that. There are some exercises in the water and even just walking around in the pool. There is also some camaraderie at the pool -- people talking to each other -- and they have organized activities there as well. They have on-site physical therapy.

My mom moved to sterling estates 2 years ago. From the moment she moved in there my sisters and I knew this was an excellent home for Mom. The staff is professional, the place is beautiful. Everyone is treated like family. Seniors have as much independence as want with the opportunity for assistance at a moments notice. My sisters and I have great peace of mind knowing mom is living at sterling!

My Wife and I are 35 year residents of East Cobb. Having been a residential Realtor in the Atlanta area for 11 years, I have a number of older clients and friends who are our Parent's age. A number of these clients/friends have wanted to downsize but yet want the security of an active adult community. The staff and environment at Sterling Estates is just amazing! They focus on being as active as you can be. With a strong emphasis on wellness, this family-friendly environment, provides a beautiful setting, delicious meals and state of the art ammenities. There are always lots of activities going on there. I would doubt there is anything else in the state of Georgia, perhaps the Southeast which can touch this stellar place. Having had a Grandmother in an older adult setting in South Carolina, Sterling Estates is in the forefront of any such communities I have ever visited. A former client is a resident here now and has been for over a year now. It's great to visit the folks here as they are always upbeat, anxious to help and clearly welcome visitors. We are so fortunate to have this community in our area as Parents age and want to live near their children yet have their own home. Sterling Estates is just a perfect spot for those situations.

MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN RESIDENTS OF STERLING ESTATES FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. WE LIVE IN ONE OF THEIR NEW AND WELL MAINTAINED COTTAGES' IT IS LIKE LIVING IN YOUR OLD HOME, WITH PLENTY OF SPACE, SECURITY,AND ALL THE CONVENIECES THAT GO WITH AN OUT- STANDING SENIOR LIVING FACILITY. HOWEVER, WE GO DOWN TO THE MAIN BUILDING FOR MIND GAMES, SWIMMING,AND EXERCISE CLASSES. WE EAT LUNCH AND DINNER,WHICH IS HEALTHY AND VARIABLE, MOST WEEK DAYS IN THE MAIN BUILDING. ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY, WE EAT OUT OR COOK IN. TO GO OUT IS VERY EASY, SINCE THERE ARE MANY AND VARIOUS EATING ESTABLISHMENTS AS WELL AS STORES IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. THE STAFF IS OUTSTANDING,COURTEOUS, HELPFULL AND CARING OF THE NEEDS OF ALL THOSE RESIDING AT STERLING. I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM ONE AND ALLTHAT YOU DONT HAVE TO BE IN YOUR NINETIES OR FEEBLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ALL THE PLUSES THAT STERLING HAS TO OFFER. REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER!!!!

My husband and I moved to Sterling Estates over two years ago when they were partially completed. With uniquely designed floor plans and a vast array of amenities we decided a cottage suited our needs the best. We are both involved in water aerobics twice a week, weekly lunch outings, games, crafts, happy hour, and just a few mentioned- we stay busy! We select our daily menus which include: healthy choices, creative food, homemade soups and desserts with all meals. Location also influenced our move as we had lived in Cobb County for over 30 years. Best decision we could make in our “Golden Years” at Sterling Estates.

My thoughts on The Sterling Estates Marietta, Georgia FACILITY The architecture of this new residence has the feel and appearance of a grand home. The public areas are decorated and furnished just like home.. The terrace and porches Provide a comfortable place to sun and view the wonderful landscaping. The wellness Center (gym and pool) and activities center are first class. There are apartment accommodations to satisfy one’s different needs. ACTIVITES The activities really keep us going, from bingo, brain games, arts and crafts to restaurant outings and shopping trips. The wellness program offers us group exercise programs in the gym and the pool as well as individual sessions. STAFF The companion care givers are a great help to me and all others. Each companion knows every resident by name and is familiar with their individual needs.. They are cheerful and warm. Their quality of care is the hallmark of this residence. The management staff works very hard to keep us all alive and living. Their many programs keep us active and moving. They know the way to ones heart is through their stomach so they set a fine table. Having never lived in a senior community before my wife and I were surprised at the genuine level of attention that comes from the staff here.

After the death of my husband and a series of accidents my three sons and I looked for a place in Georgia for me that would help me recover. Sterling Estates was our choice, and I was on my way to recovery. The wellness program is the place for me. I always enjoyed exercise and competed in many sports. I am doing well and making progress everyday with the help of an excellent staff. The care team and the staff has become family to me. This is a wonderful place, and I smile each day because I am here.

Very impressed with the Wellness Center at Sterling Estates. They get residents out of their rooms and get them moving either in the workout room or in the therapeutic pool. Lots of energy and a happy atmosphere at Sterling Estates.

My mother is an original member of the Sterling Community. When we moved her here from out of state we were relieved to find a superb Senior Living Community close to our home. All facilities are first rate and the staff is caring and attentive. Dining, recreational and wellness activities, coupled with the establishment of good friends has made her experience and ours very positive. In particular, a heated pool, well equipped fitness center, physical therapy and massages have been critical to combat physical and mobility declines. These were real differentiators over other facilities we considered.

The staff is very nice at Sterling Estates. A lady, I think named Sharon, is the director and is very good. I had lunch there. My daughter also lives right near there, which is a good thing. It's all nice, and the facilities are good. They had swimming pool and activities like dancing and movies. It's new, it's fresh, it's good as new, and it's good looking.

Sterling Estates has been a God send. My mom who is 91 fell in January and broke her hip. After surgery and rehab, mom was not able to return home. I looked at all of the senior facilities in East Cobb and new immediately Sterling Estates was the right fit. Other facilities had no formal exercise room nor heated swimming pool much less a dedicated staff member who CARES about every resident's health and encourages them to exercise. My mom hadn't been in a swimsuit since she was 20 years old. Now she's in the pool twice a week and getting stronger from week to week. From the kitchen staff who always prepare delicious food and offer variety to their menu to the nursing staff and care givers to the management team and owners, Sterling Estates offers the best senior care in East Cobb. Mom is in a safe loving environment with lots of good friends. They have become her second family! Thank you, Sterling Estates for the peace of mind you have given me!

I came to Sterling Estates with the hope of reestablishing an independent lifestyle. When I arrived I could not walk for more than five minutes. Suffering from a heart condition had greatly limited what I could do. I truly felt trapped. I wanted to feel better. I wanted to be the person I once was. I met with the Sterling Estate staff and a wellness plan was custom made for me. It included exercise and diet. I began personal training with gentle resistance three days a week, as well as, closely monitored water therapy two days a week. I set what seemed like a lofty goal of running up the large hill on the front of the property. I am proud to say on August 1, 2013, less than a year later, I ran up that hill! Sterling Estates has more than changed my life. I have reached goals I never thought possible.

My husband and I were now in our 80s. We were starting to see signs that our bodies and minds were getting up in years. Mat fell out of bed, thankfully not damaging his pacemaker. I also had a fall. It was becoming apparent that we needed more help to get by. I visited a local Assisted Living facility and was very depressed by what I saw. People sat staring out the window and the place smelled very bad. This was not the dream I had for my, "golden years." Fortunately, I had an office visit with a physical therapist and she told me about a new senior residence which was under construction in Marietta. I was curious enough to go and take a look. Even though the property was just being developed, a strong feeling came over me that, "this is it." I had not had such a feeling since decades earlier when I had the urge to open my own sandwich shop. The idea of a place dedicated to wellness was just what I wanted to see. Having a heated indoor swimming pool, plus healthy meals, in a beautiful environment, were my hopes for a better future. I met Sharon and Marshall at Sterling Estates and was very pleased with their friendliness and courtesy. I knew that the biggest challenge I faced was to get my husband convinced it was time for us to move. Since he liked the buffalo burgers at Ted's Montana Grill, I suggested that we go for a ride. While we were there, I casually suggested that, “just for fun,” we go take a look at a new retirement place down the street. He was equally impressed. I told him that I was concerned if we could afford something that nice. He told me that since we had been paying into a long-term disability fund for many years, we could. We decided that the least we could do was give it a short-term trial and see if it was a good fit. We moved in August of 2012. It was wonderful to be in a community of caring people who showed deep personal concern for all of our needs. This became especially important as my husband’s health deteriorated. We do not know how we would have managed without a team of experts to help us through the difficult time of concluding his life. I am so blessed today to enjoy the luxury and comfort of pristine surroundings, including a flower-filled courtyard, complete with a fountain and rubber ducks! Additionally, after many years of hoping and wishing, I have finally found a close personal friend with whom I can share activities. Our only regret about Sterling Estates is that we could not have moved here sooner. Since we were some of the first residents to arrive, we have had the benefit of enjoying this wonderful place as much as possible.

Unfortunately, my stay at Sterling was only a temporary one. I was there until I could sell my previous home and purchase a new one. I was welcomed, literally, with open arms from the owners, management, and all staff. It is a perfectly beautiful and safe place, which has the feeling of one big family. Everyone goes above and beyond when accommodating residents there. I was one of the independents, but saw first-hand the loving care and attention shown to assisted living residents as well. The companions do a wonderful job in all areas and are utmost professionals. I simply cannot speak highly enough of Sterling Estates, and would recommend it to anyone in need of a facility of this nature.

We visited a large number of communities before deciding to place my dad at Sterling Estates. The people and the facility are far above anything else in the East Cobb area. From our first visit, the staff their demonstrated that they valued my dad - and all of us - as members of a community that they are serious about making a welcoming, safe place.
