Arbor Terrace Peachtree City

My mother went to Arbor Terrace Peachtree City. She started in independent living, but she needed what they called personal care, which is a step below assisted living. However, they were not equipped there to meet the needs that she had. I love Arbor Terrace. I would not have moved her if I didn't have to. The place was beautiful. The staff was very attentive, very loving, and caring. It was her home. It was very hard to leave there. Everything was great. The food was topnotch. The place was topnotch. It was very pricey, but I would recommend it to anybody that can afford it. I would definitely put my loved one there. They have a lot more activities because they have independent living there. They have a pool, they have water aerobics, they have a small movie theater, they have a van that takes people on outings, they go out for lunches, and they go out to different plays. They have lots of activities. In house they have exercise classes, art classes, bingo, and all kinds of different crafts. Unfortunately, my mom got beyond that. She couldn't participate in those kinds of things anymore. Their food was excellent.

So where do I begin? The staff,,, most, are great. I have just one, so far, that I don't care for. One of those, "I'm better than you" type and has to ENFORCE every rule, no matter what, and I'm talking the most trivial ones. I have been listened to by the people that count,, as far as management goes. The complex itself, is very quaint. The apartments are very nice. My parent has been taken care of and given much attention as does it appear that all residents are. The staff seems to know all resident's names and that is impressive. The apartments could be cleaned by staff cleaners more than just once very two weeks for Independent and more than just once a week for Assisted Living. When you are paying $4,000 and up, per month, I truly believe that more can and should be done. Folks, we are talking PER MONTH!!! That covers the apartment, the cleaning once a week, the activities inside the complex,,, no biggie on them, however, it keeps my parent busy,,, which is great,,, and food. Assisted Living dispenses the meds, if needed, however, charges $500 a month for once a day meds, and you have to use the pharmacy of their choice or dispense the meds to your parent on your own. The pharmacy keeps upping the price of packaging it all, and the copay is more than other places. Folks,,, that's a MONTH for ONCE a day! In addition to residing in Assisted Living, with care, another fee of approximately $800 per month. This is in addition to the apartment. Jesus!! Now let me get to the AWFUL part,,,,,,,,,,, which is the FOOD!! When we first started my parent there, the food was darn good! NOW??? It's awful. One would think that as our parents get older they might lose their sense of taste and anything would be OK. Well, it's that bad where even my parent knows that the food is NOT GOOD ANYMORE. Burgers are DRY! Pork Chops DRY! Chicken is DRY!!! Much of the food is tasteless. It's like they are afraid to put FLAVOR into it. Friday's,, the ONLY fish that is offered is CATFISH!!! Every FRIDAY!! Menu doesn't change much,,, leaving the food the same poor quality. On Tuesday's and Friday's they have Happy Hour and serve a snack. On many occasion they serve a Jalapeno w/cream cheese fried in bread crumbs. For younger people that may be fine, however, older folks can't take that HOT SPICE! Why do they do that? Is it the only thing that's left over? They have a live singer on Friday's as well. Some GREAT, some really bad and some mediocre. Here, I have laid out the facts. Staff great,,, MOST ALL,,, price for what you get is POOR,,, FOOD is NOT GOOD! Don't let them tell you that it is. It's edible and that's all. If you care about your parent(s), tell them you want BETTER FOOD for them. They deserve to eat better quality. It all saddens me that we thought the place was SO GREAT, at first, and now it's gone downhill quite a bit. Do your homework.

Arbor Terrace Peachtree City and its apartments were really nice. I liked the area. It was OK. I didn't interact with too many people because they were all busy. They did say hello, though. It's across the street from K-mart and a little shopping center, so the area is really nice.

Arbor Terrace was very nice and very expensive. The surroundings were very nice. I lived nearby.

I hired a consultant to find the best assisted living facility in Georgia for my parents and they came up with three recommendations. I visited all three and Arbor was by far the best choice. Before I hired a consultant, I had visited many assisted living facilities and I was very disappointed. Both my mother and father now live at Arbor and I can tell you it was a great decision. Great staff, great services, great food, and exceptional accommodations. My parents have been here almost a year and they are very pleased with this facility. They have a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment so when we visit (we live out of state) we stay in their guest room. I have stayed here many times the past year and have eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner at the facility and I can tell you their current director of food service is excellent. The director of nursing, is also exceptional. Her staff is professional and all of them have a great attitude when assisting my parents. So if you want to see the best Assisted Living Facility in Georgia, come to Peachtree City and see Arbor Terrace.

Hi, I have toured this facility numerous times (having friends that live there) and on the surface it looks great. However, I have noticed several problems. Under the new management, the quality of the food has really fallen. They have also started to nickle and dime my friends to death, and the rent is already very expensive. On the Personal Care floor (don't let them lie to you, it is NOT assisted living), they charge A LOT for those various levels of care, and the caregivers will exaggerate how much care and how many caregivers it takes to administer that care just so they can bump you up a level of care and charge you more. If you are able to be completely independent, and able to utilize the amenities they offer, it is a pretty place. The average age of the people there is 85+, and most are not that active. Just FYI, do NOT trust the mangement of this place, they are very underhanded.

Arbor Terrace was excellent when you first walk in. It is a nice place. Like any other place, I thought for its price the rooms were kind of small. It wasn't for me, but for someone else, and they went ahead and took it. The person it was for thought it was fine. They got all kinds of things going on there every day. They have a chapel, exercise area, and therapy area. The person giving the tour was OK. Ididn't have any questions, but I think she answered all their questions. I really like that they have elevators. They could use a bigger parking lot though.
