Independent Living Communities in Macon, GA

"My aunt is in Magnolia Manor of Macon. It does not cover meals in the villas. I've only met a sales rep and a secretary, and they were good. My aunt said that the custodial staff was responsive. The building she is in is older, but it seemed structurally sound. They've got bingo and swimming. The sizes of the rooms are wonderful, but the layout of the villas is a little wonky. It's not straightforward. The atmosphere is friendly."

"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."

"Pinegate is such a fun community. It was so easy to convince mom to move when she went inside and saw the life that was happening inside of there. When we came in, they were dancing, a live entertainer, and the residents and staff were all dancing together, smiles all around! Mom wanted to be a part of the fun and joined them. It was the easiest decision, and as her daughter I am so thankful that they have a place that brings life to senior living. Mom is loving it, she loves the staff, her apartment is super cute. I could not have asked for a better place for my mother."

"VCT is still a great place to live. Sure, there have been some changes but, it is what we make of it that counts, good or bad. From another review, the never provided meals but, had vendors who sold and delivered meals to the residents who requested they be delivered. These vendors stopped doing this because there was not enough participation to make it profitable for them. I am a resident and have been so for five plus years. "

"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."
