Independent Living Communities in Lawrenceville, GA

"The staff were friendly, and knowledgeable. They have a really nice room that we are considering. The residents were up-and-about playing cards, and putting together puzzles. It would be nice if they add a swimming pool. "

"The person who toured us Village Park Peachtree Corners was the activities director. The marketing person was not there, so it was a very different visit. The activities director kept apologizing to us. It was fine. She did the best she could, and she was able to answer all our questions, but it was a little bit negative because it was the first place we ever visited. It was weird. What I didn’t like was that the cottages and the bungalows are right near a highway, so when you sit outside on your patio, all you're hearing is noise. The activities director was able to show us some of the apartments but we kept telling her that that was not what we were interested in. We were interested in the bungalows and the cottages. One of the residents did allow people to come see hers, so that was very helpful. She was very lovely. She let people tour through her cottage."

"I'm staying at Celebration Village Forsyth. Everyone was so nice, so friendly, and so welcoming and that was the thing that convinced me. It was a very beautiful place, and the atmosphere was so wonderful. They have crafts, exercises, Bible study, and swimming. They have a shuttle service that takes you everywhere as a group and an individual shuttle if I want to go somewhere by myself. It's all very convenient. My apartment is very nice. I have a big bedroom with two great big windows, a walk-in closet, a big bathroom, a full kitchen, and a large living room. The staff is wonderful. They've gone out of their way to make my move easy. I have a housekeeper who comes in once a week, changes my beds, puts clean sheets on it, and cleans the apartment. It's very clean. I'm very pleased."

"We chose Towne Club Windermere. What they did was they took a ground floor apartment and turned it into an office, and that office is a regular apartment. That's the same apartment that we're renting, and there are four stories above it. They have a library, a pool, and an exercise or workout room. The staff is very accommodating."

"My parents are preparing to move into a cottage at Village Park. After looking at many choices in Atlanta, we chose Village Park because it is newer, in a good location (near family) and was relatively affordable. The cottage is spacious and has a one car garage, which is nice. Village Park does not offer complete continuing care, as it does not offer a nursing or rehab option but does offer assisted living and memory care. We found that most of the facilities that offer full care are buy-ins, requiring a large up front cost and a monthly fee. And those are generally on a long waitlist. VP is a monthly fee plus a la carte property. It will work well for my parents at this stage. The staff has been professional and patient. Will know more after spending some time there."

"I really like Sanford Estates Gracious Retirement Living. They take really good care of my mom. The people are great and she is really enjoying herself. The food is great. They'll cook whatever you want, and they have two or three different chefs. It's usually two or three different dishes that you can choose from per meal (there's three meals a day). They do exercise classes, card games, and bingo. They also go on casino trips or go shopping at different locations."

"I toured Cottonwood Estates Gracious Retirement Living. It was extremely clean and well-kept. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I like their setup for the residents, the cafeteria, and the overall amenities they offer there. They provide three meals a day."

"Brookdale Chambrel Roswell didn’t look like anything we were interested in. The whole community -- clubhouse and everything -- were a little bit older than we were looking for. The rooms and the cottages were in the process of being renovated. The room that we saw that was renovated was very nice. "

"The people at The Holbrook Decatur were understanding. It was well-facilitated and supported. There was a great supporting staff, and they kept the residents involved in activities. The apartments were nice-sized, up-to-date, very accommodating, and very clean. I wasn't able to see a non-furnished room as one would walk into it if they lived there."

"I had a nice tour at Sandy Springs Senior Homes LLC. It's a nice building. It's two floors and residents get three meals a day. The person that gave the tour was a nice lady. I had talked to her a few times on the phone and then when I met her, she was even nicer. They have activities like bingo and card games. They also have exercise rooms. The dining area was laid out nicely and spacious. The rooms were also big and spacious."

"I was very impressed. It's a nice, full-service assisted living that is two or three years old. They had a closed-in garden and places for those in the memory group to get outside without restrictions. They can walk around the garden area. It was new, so it was very bright, and the furnishings were all attractive. It presented very well. The security and responsiveness of the staff were impressive. The people I met were friendly."

"That was a very nice place, but it didn't seem warm. They had a swimming pool. The rooms were very nice and adequate. Everybody was friendly. We ate at the Piedmont. The food and the service were fine. "
