Independent Living Communities in Decatur, GA

"Sanford Estates was like a total care facility. They don't have kitchens in the rooms, so you can't cook your own meals, but they have a cafeteria. Maybe some of the units had mini-fridges, and that's not going to work for me. It seemed more like a hotel. It seemed like a nice place, but it was not what I was looking for. The staff was excellent. They were nice. They were willing to help or contact some friends of his to see if he could find places for me that were more affordable. They have a lot of things to keep people busy. The place was gorgeous. It is in Roswell and the location didn't work for me. There was so much traffic."

"I toured Oaks at Eagles Landing for my mom. The layout of it was nice. It was very nice, very clean, and open. I loved it. I loved the rooms. I think they had three or four different layouts of the rooms. They had single rooms and double rooms. I loved the fact that they furnished it like you didn't have to bring furniture and everything. They furnished everything. The lady that gave me the tour was exceptional. She made me feel very comfortable. She gave me a lot of insight into it because I've never been through this. She told me that a lot of people feel bad about taking their parents to senior living homes, and she assured me that that's not a bad thing. She told me of the layout and even the outside and that they're safe. The dining area was nice. We didn't talk much about the food. She showed me the place where they can get their hair done. I like it as far as allowing them to be independent as they were in their own homes. Had I been able to take my mother, that was my number one pick. There was always a nurse that could come if needed blood work or whatever. Whatever they needed to go to the doctor for, they didn't have to leave the facility, and I like that. "

"Parc at Duluth was very nice. We liked the rooms and the different services they offer. We liked the fact that my mother-in-law would get the proper care she needed for assisting her with everything that needed to be done. The staff who assisted us with the tour was very nice and answered all our questions. They had a beautiful dining room and nice menus. They had exercise programs, entertainment, games, and they had a beauty salon."

"I visited the Parc, and they have adequate parking. They have independent living and assisted living. It is a gorgeous facility -- very convenient -- and it’s right off Junction Perry. It’s expensive and upscale. They have a grand piano that anybody can play, and I think they have people come in and play. The staff was very nice. It was beautiful and lovely. They offer skilled nursing, live in service, and transportation. For what they offer, I think they are excellent. "

"Brookdale Chambrel Roswell was very nice. I think they've undergone a renovation. They seem to have a lot of support staff, but it was just too big a facility for my mother-in-law. It seemed well organized. Everyone was friendly, and it was a beautiful facility. They have a courtyard and an outdoor pool too."

"Not only is the atmosphere and food excellent there are always great activities to participate in such as various games, trips, and exercise classes. Not only is it good from a health standpoint but also to help keep your mental health in tact."

"We went to Linwood Estates. They have worked with us financially. It's a big help. The room was larger than a lot that we had looked at. Plus, they had their own patio and balcony to go out on. I had a meal there and it was good. It was decent and it was better than I expected. That day, I had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and a tomato with Parmesan cheese. It's beautiful. It was decorated so nicely. It was seasonally decorated, so it had stuff everywhere, which I love. It's a very nice property, so I was impressed when I walked in the front door. They had a movie theater. I know that they play bingo and things like that. One reason why we picked them is that the staff were super sweet."

"My mom stayed for respite at Bright Rose Personal Care Home's assisted living in Marietta. They loved her and wanted to welcome her back. She had a really good stay, and everybody really loved her personality. She got along well with everyone. She really enjoyed herself, and they enjoyed having her. It's a good place. The only thing is that they have one person there who smokes, and my mom is a non-smoker now. That's the only thing I saw that I didn't agree with. Other than that, they're really kind and very nice. They attend to the residents who live there. It's not overcrowded, so you can still get individual attention, which is really good. It's a home-based facility, and very neat, very organized, and very stationary. There's a lot of room in there for the residents to move around and watch TV. They have a sitting area if they want to go outside and sit and relax. The bedroom where my mom slept was very nice and neat. The comforter, the bedspread, and everything about it were nice. For activities, I know they have somebody who comes in and does exercises with them. They have activities that kind of get their mind refreshed."

"Village Park of Alpharetta is like living at a resort! They just finished a stunning new building with stylish decor. My mom recently moved into a beautiful two bedroom condo. The ceilings are high and her condo is so light and airy. The staff is very friendly and helpful when mom has any needs. And the residents are equally as wonderful. There is valet parking, a pool, fitness center, and theater. And the food prepared by their chef is gourmet and so delicious! I would highly recommend Village Park for any loved ones!!"

"This is a very nice facility. Myself and a few of my interns came here and volunteered. Mostly everyone was active whether playing a simple board game or doing some light aerobics. The environment was very peaceful and pleasant. "

"My mom is a current resident at the Holly House: Ms Ebbie just retired on this past Friday , Marie is the caregiver now, and has done a wonderful job of caring for my mom. I refer to the women there as the Golden girls they are so sweet , I highly reccomend this home. Minister J Hunter"

"My mom is in Cottonwood Estates now. It's a brand new facility. I found them through an online senior directory. I chose this place because the price includes everything, e.g. meals, transportation, laundry, housekeeping, etc. The apartment that she has there is great! She is really enjoying it. It doesn't have a kitchen so she has to eat in the dining room with everyone else and that's okay with us because my mom doesn't really want to cook. Also they provide three chef-cooked meals a day. Regarding activities, she has been doing a couple of things here and there. "

"Celebration Village Forsyth was a beautiful environment. It was a great-looking campus and the people all seemed happy. The staff were very kind and caring. Everything was just beautiful. From the common rooms to the apartments, everything was very nice. It made us feel like it was a good place to live and everyone was very nice and helpful. All the common rooms were very clean and kept nicely. They have schedules posted all around for what's going to be happening there. They have a movie theater that is very clean and beautiful. It was empty at the time, but it looked like it was just kept very well. There's nothing that we saw there that was not taken care of. Overall, everything was great."

"I toured Silver Comet Village. The people were very sweet, very knowledgeable, and very professional. The staff was very genuine, and made you feel like she had your interests at heart. Their rooms were great. They were very large. They had a very happy atmosphere. I saw the dining area, but I didn't eat. It was very neat and made it look like a place you'd like to sit down and have a meal. The day we were there, there was a group of them getting ready to take the bus, car, or whatever to Outback to eat lunch. Later that day they were gonna have bingo."
