Independent Living Communities in Athens, GA

"My husband and I were very impressed. We both liked it a lot. The apartment we saw was very nice. The manager who took us on the tour was very informative and was very forthcoming when answering our questions. We were satisfied with the whole thing. The dining room was very pleasant. They go on trips as a group and there are quite a bit of social activities. They have shopping and doctors' appointments."

"The Landings Senior Villages had a lovely lobby area that had seating and everything. It was very well done. The staff was very accommodating and very good. Their community area was right near all of the living spaces so you could walk from your unit in short order. I believe they had an actual chef who was preparing lunches in that facility."

"Mom is in a particular place at Talmage Terrace called Personal Care and it is specifically appropriate for her condition. It's kind of a cross between assisted living, which is much more independent, and nursing home care, which is not independent. The personal care floor has more focused assistance for her ongoing activities. She has a single room with a bathroom. It's big enough. It's a larger size room, so she can fit some of her own furniture. It's probably smaller than what we would call a studio apartment. There's not a separate bedroom/living room thing, like a large hotel room but it works for her. She's wheelchair-bound, so she's got enough room to maneuver around. The staff has been very good. They're very kind, caring, and professional. They serve three meals a day. I just had lunch there today. I had seafood salad and soup and the seafood salad was very good. It's an older facility, but it's well-cared for, well-maintained, and clean. They've got a daily schedule of activities. They have at least five or six things going on pretty much every day."

"We had visited Arbor Terrace. The people were comfortable. The staff was really good. They were gentle and they really seemed to really care about the people living there. It was very nice and I thought it was really good. We saw some people having lunch, and the lunch seemed nice. We were given a really good tour. My husband asked a couple of questions and the staff was able to respond. The place was clean, and I felt really comfortable. "

"I was very impressed with Presbyterian Village Athens. They have beautiful brand new cottages with one-bedroom or two-bedroom, a garage, a screened porch, and a little green area. I didn't see the apartments (but they have them). I went inside one of their little houses and it's all brand new. It looked fantastic. It's all new appliances and new floors. They have a very large dining room and a private dining room for people who want to have a party with their children or their friends. They have a swimming pool (which I'm very excited about), a gym, and a lot of activities. They have classes (like yoga and genealogy), and a book club. So, they are getting the residents organized into groups of interest. I liked it very much. We would be interested in living there, for sure. Some of our friends already live there and they took us around. We had dinner and the food was good. They also have a memory unit, and that's important to us."
