The Best Independent Living Communities in Cobb County, GA

"We loved Celebration Village. I liked the options in the club area. There were several rooms for different activities. There's a craft room, a theater room, an activity room where they do Wii bowling, a treatment room, and a social room for maybe card games or board games. It's like a center square. There's a coffee shop and a casual lunch place. The dining room is all connected to this sort of town square. It's very nice and very social. The units were very large with plenty of space. We looked at two-bedroom options. The only drawback was that the second bedroom has a tub, which to me makes absolutely no sense. If you're coming in as a 70- or 80-year-old, a tub isn't really a wise choice. They should have had both bathrooms with a walk-in shower or a walk-in tub. Other than that, I thought everything was positive. All appliances are there. The kitchen is fully appointed. It's a full kitchen with a full-size refrigerator. The staff was extremely professional, extremely knowledgeable, and extremely accommodating. There's a courtyard and a heated pool."

"I'm moving there probably in October. It's small and very friendly. The layout was efficient and easy to maneuver. Utilities, meals, trash service, linen service, beauty parlor, all kinds of activities are included. They have exercise, art, church, outings, and they provide transportation."

"Heartis Buckhead was extremely nice. Maybe even nicer than the other facility I visited in the same price range, which is right on the edge of doable for me. It was a high-rise building. So, the apartments were absolutely beautiful with great views. All the amenities were nice. The person who helped us was more than helpful. They had a beautiful brochure, so it was just a very first-class place. The only negative thing was it was expensive, but the staff was wonderful. They spent a lot of time with us. It's a brand new building so it was very nice."

"We visited Vickery Rose Retirement Community. It was very impressive. It was just too expensive for me. The marketing tour guide, Anthony, was very welcoming, enthusiastic, helpful, and courteous. The facility was very well laid out. It was very large. It had a good design, and it seemed to be convenient. Some residents were watching a movie, exercising, eating, and some were sitting out front."

"Brookdale was nice. It was a little bit older but looked very well kept. It had a nice dining room and nice, inviting common areas. The person that worked with us seemed very interested. The room was a little small but nice overall and in a very good location. The professional staff was very good. We met the person who does the food preparation. He engaged us for quite a while about how he looks at the menu, prepares the food, and takes the interest of the people living there to heart. "

"I will be moving into Sanford Estates. What I liked best was just the overall community. I visited them twice. The living space is very good. The community space is excellent. The people were very nice and attentive. I enjoyed it. The location for me is fine. I wanted to stay in Roswell. The staff and the members of the community that I met were very nice and engaging. The rooms were adequate, very nice, and large. There was an opportunity to make changes. If you needed or wanted to, they would help assist with any of those types of things. The living atmosphere was comfortable. The dining area was perfect. It was large and airy. They had a space for family private dining. The menu looked good. 24/7, you could get snacks, water, coffee or whatever have you. It was excellent. It looked clean to me. I saw staff working. From what I could tell, it was a very clean environment. They did not have a pool, but they had other amenities. There was a library, a hair salon, and various activity rooms."

"The staff is great. Food is very good. Lots of activities. Very nice place. Mom is very happy, making new friends, getting lots more activity on a day to day basis. Also pricing is very reasonable compared to other facilities. Compares very favorably to places that cost twice as much. "

"We chose The Holbrook Decatur for my father, but because of the current situation it's still closed. The staff is very professional and it's a nice place to live. The people who work there interacts, even when my sister and I just went there to walk around, the people we met were very nice and very happy to be there. I watched the staff talk to the residents and they know them well; it's a good feeling. They have aerobics class and people who work there would join in too, which is nice. We saw a beautiful pool for water aerobics which was easy to get into. There's also a pool where you get lowered into a pool and you walk into a treadmill, and we saw people there with one helper assisting each person there. My father's room is about 600 square feet with a nice size living room, nice size bathroom, and the kitchen is a little small but he's not going to be cooking there. His little kitchen has everything but a stove, and you can bring a microwave to cook on if you want to. But three meals are included, there's also a bistro, and you can get a snack any time you want to. You can just walk into the shower, you don't have to step up into anything, there's plenty of storage in the shower and there's also a bench. It met the chef, the food sounds very good because the people were complimentary."

"We loved The Lodge at Bridgemill. We really did like it. It had the food facility with it. It had everything, and that place was almost filled up with people. The people that worked there were wonderful. The lady that worked with us, I just loved her to death. They had an Olympic size swimming pool, all kinds of games, and game rooms, and they went on outings. You name it, they do it. If you were within 10 miles of your doctors, you could make an appointment, and they would take you to your doctor and bring you home. They would take you to the grocery stores, shopping, or something. It was absolutely the perfect set up. They had all kinds of activities geared towards women and men. At The Lodge, they furnished your washer & dryer, stove, refrigerator, microwave, all those things you wouldn't ever had to buy. I had all good remarks for The Lodge. It was such a friendly, nice, and warm place. "

"My father is in Cottonwood Estates. It is a very nice, affordable, convenient place. The people are wonderful. They have trips all the time and three or four meals a day. They have all kinds of amenities, including a library, billiards, a kitchen to cook in if they feel like it, and all kinds of transportation and trips. The rooms are very nice, clean, and perfect. "

"Village Park at Spalding was a beautiful place, and it reminded me of a resort. They have open walkways, an outdoor pool, a cafe, a place for happy hour, and dining. It was very nice. They also have the assisted living license. The staff was wonderful, very friendly, helpful, showed us around, and did everything. They have villas and cottages, which are separate homes that are set out on the property. They also have building apartments."

"I toured Village Park at Alpharetta. What I like the best about the place is the fact that it did have three different restaurants that you could choose from. It was really a nice option, and the place was very attractive. The staff was very friendly. The food was very good. I was very impressed with the food at the place. The amenities were wonderful. The property was pristine. It was beautiful."
