Independent Living Communities in Macon, GA

"I went here. It was nice. The people that worked there were very friendly. It was clean and nice. My dad had stayed there many years ago. My mother liked it at first; but then when they didn't have a private shower, she kind of turned against that. Other than that, it was a nice place. They had a lot of activities going on, which is a good thing. The rooms were nice size. The staff was polite. The residents were all out in the TV room, and some of them were watching TV and some were playing cards. They do stuff on just about every day. If you want to do it, you can participate. You don't necessarily have to, but they encourage it, which I think is good to encourage the older people to get out and mingle (so to speak). They have music on certain days, and they cook hamburgers outside. You get to bring your own furniture, so you can make the room as nice as you want to. It's plenty big enough for a loveseat, a twin bed, and a chest drawer. You make it what you want. You furnish it and decorate it how would you like. They have an outdoor area that's really nice. It has a bunch of flowers. The dining area is nice. It is kind of a cafeteria style. It is just big room. It looked like everybody was pretty peaceful. They were doing different things, but the residents looked like they were happy. It was pretty good."

"I toured Holiday Pinegate. It was very nice, but they just didn't have the assisted living part if Dad was to get worse. If he didn't need that later on, I would have gone there. It was also a 2-storey, and I didn't want him to have to worry with elevators. The staff who gave me the tour were excellent. The place was clean with very large living areas, and very large closets. The living space is large. It looked like a five-star hotel. It has chandeliers, and the meeting rooms, living area, and dining area have a five-star hotel look."

"My father is a resident of John-Wesley Villas of Macon. Looking around, I see that this is just what is closer to home, and it is a nice place. I like the way the community looks. It's more of a home look. I like the level of care that they give from assisted living to the independent living tenant. The staff has been excellent. We ate here yesterday and, about to eat now, and it's been great. The place is top-notch and clean. We haven't been in any of the activities, but I have seen what they do. They have music, games, dinner nights, and movie nights. Every Thursday, the staff takes everybody out to dinner. It's just very nice."

"The Carlyle Place facility is exceptional quality. The moment that my team and I arrived, there were staff members to greet us and give us a guided tour. It is a nursing home and assisted living center. The entire venue is immaculate and all of the staff are friendly and smiling. There are great activities for the residents to be involved in like swimming, water aerobics, arts and crafts, live music in the living room, and a full service cafe. They even have a room that can be rented out for holidays, so the residents and their families may have a private dinner together. Volunteering at Carlyle Place was easy and a lot of fun and I would recommend it to anyone who lives in the area! "

"I liked The Gables at Wolf Creek. That's the one I'm leaning towards. Everything was just nice. My children have all been very impressed with their facility from what they have seen. My granddaughter that lives close by says the porches will be so wonderful to sit on. I have talked with the staff and I've also met some of the people that live there, and I was impressed. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. In their main building, they have a place to eat, but they don't cook meals every day there (it's for a get-together). I was impressed. I like where they're located. Macon is growing and it's just a good place to be able to get in and out, go to the store , and do whatever I need to do."
