Hammond Glen Retirement Community is a really nice place. It's kept up really well and clean. They have excellent food and quite a few events during the week so people will have something to do. They have bingo, movies, community meetings, and a game night where people get together and play different games in one room. The staff is very efficient and very good. It's a very clean place and the value is competitive, about in the middle.

We're going to live at Hammond Glen. It's very friendly and warm. The staff members were lovely. The food was good, and we enjoyed it. They had movies and special dinners. They always seemed to have games going, like mahjong and bridge. When we first got there, we participated in a seated exercise class. They had a library and a coffee shop, too. They also had a bus that takes you to a senior center that has everything.

We chose Hammond Glen for my mom because it was very nice and within the price range I was looking for. I think it is a good value for that price compared to the other places that I looked at. They have lots of activities, a movie theater, and a full schedule of activities. They take her to her doctors’ appointments within this area for free. I don't have complaints. It seems like it would be a good place for her. She is a movie buff, and they have movies twice a day and then once on the weekends, and trips to the movies. When you sign up or when you move in, one meal is included in your rent, and you can make it breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but you can choose to have more; we chose to put her on the three meals a day plan. The staff is really friendly, very willing to help, and very welcoming.

The food was excellent at Hammond Glen; they brought me dessert while I was talking to the coordinator there. It had a more upscale and formal living situation on a larger scale with a lot more residents. It was very nice, very well appointed, friendly, and active.

Hammond Glen was very nice. I only met the person who had shown us around, and he was very nice and thorough. I will go back for supper this week. And what I also liked about it is you have to pay your own electric bill -- it's more reasonable -- and they have a laundry.

I visited Hammond Glen, which I found very impressive in a number of ways. I particularly liked the location since it's in Sandy Springs where I live. Everybody was very friendly. The assistant manager gave me a quick tour of the place, and I liked a lot of the amenities that were available there, but they seemed to be fairly typical of other facilities that I have visited. They're very competitive, actually, because they provide the same kind of facilities and want to satisfy their clients.

I liked Hammond Glen very much. The management was terrific. The facilities were fine. I enjoyed it. The rooms were small, but other than that it was very nice. I ate there, I talked to a lot of the residents, I saw the apartments, and everything was fine.

Hammond Glen is an excellent place. The staff know all of the residents by name. They treated them very kindly and very respectfully. They have very diverse programs for seniors; I went to several of them in one day including on in the Japanese blossom garden where they had Japanese dancers. I also went to a Danish breakfast get-together. A therapist came in the afternoon and gave a lecture on osteoporosis. I had breakfast that morning with the residents, and the food was excellent. The chef came out to meet us. I had the California-style suite with two private rooms on either side of the living room. One of the rooms had an end suite and the other bathroom was accessible to company. The dining and living room were at the center and the kitchen was off to one side. There was lots of storage space. It was beautiful and very well furnished. They have a library, a theater, common area, a stage and a nice dining room.

Hammond Glen was nice as well as the common areas were nice. We had lunch there and the food was very good. The dining room was pleasant but the apartment was very small and I had a feeling of “institution” and it turned me off. They did say that they are under new management and that they are going to be making some changes. The staff that I met was very nice. The main impression when you walk in was not favorable. It’s like a nursing home. It wasn’t open and bright and was kind of dark.

The place was nice and clean, and the people were friendly. The only thing that I found difficult for me was that Hammond Glen was originally developed as an apartment house -- not a senior living community -- so all they had were apartments and parking lots. They have some grounds, but they haven't developed them into a park yet. I found that very difficult for myself because the only hobby I have is to walk, but the location is perfect. It is very close to the hospital and another senior center in the City of Sandy Springs, to which they provide transportation. They also have a limited number of assisted living openings, so it would have been a good place except for the fact that they have no grounds. The staff who took us around was very informative and very friendly.

Hammond Glen was our next choice. A senior service website helped me find this place. The staff was very helpful. They showed me around and told me everything. I was able to get an idea how my mom would live there. The apartments that they did have include kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms and bedrooms, which were fine, but my mom didn't really want to have to cook. Also, with their rent, they only include one meal a day. You have to pay extra if you want three meals. Their price was a little cheaper but it didn't include as much stuff. You have to pay extra for electricity, wireless internet, phone, etc. Overall, Hammond Glen is good for what they offer but it is not what I was looking for for my mother.

I went for a visit to Hammond Glen. I had a friend who taught art classes there and she spoke highly about the place. It was clean and neat. The staff seemed competent. The apartments were well-kept. The hallways were long and that was difficult for me because I could only walk for short distances. The facility was a little pricey for me.

Hammond Glen is a unique assisted living facility. They provide quality care for seniors and the developmentally disabled of all ages. They provide quality eating facilities for my grandmother and she also has the option of eating in a dining room setting. They have 24 hour medical care and emergency care. My grandmother was relunctant to live on her own, but the facility has made it a lot easier. It was hard for me to see my grandmother in a assisted living facility. However, Hammond Glen made the transition very easy.I highly recommend Hammond Glenn. They are a clean facility with quality staff. They care about your loved ones. The also welcome the comments and suggestions from the residents, visitors, and relatives to make the facility more suitable for our love ones.Hammond Glenn is highly recommended by me and my family if you are looking for quality assisted living.
