Independent Living Communities in Newnan, GA

"Our visit at Palms of Lake Spivey was very good. We liked it, and they were very helpful. "

"My parents are residents at Claiborne. This is a beautiful facility. It is very well maintained. The staff and personnel go above and beyond to help. My parents have had a wonderful experience living here from a beautiful apartment with ease of use, to wonderful dinning experiences. Everything is always clean and the services that they provide bring me comfort that my parents made the perfect decision for them in a place to call home. Both they and myself could not be more pleased with all that Claiborne has to offer!!"

"The activities here in Ashlynn Ridge 55+ Apartments are good. We have a pavilion in the back with a barbecue grill, swings, and a koi pond. We also have a gym, a theater room, and a beauty salon. It's just that when it comes to the rent and stuff (I've been here for a few months), they are raising the rent already."

"I’m on a waiting list at Hearthside for two years and I know I’m close to the top of the list. The place is just close and walking distance to shops, walking passed restaurants. The rooms have built-in kitchen, solid countertop bar, and you have option to a 1 or 2-bedroom or even 1 or 2-baths. I like it a lot because of where it is. It’s my first choice. The staff seem very cordial and nice. The place is full and everybody seems to be happy there. It’s probably the most attractive to me and my wife. We’re handicap but we’re still able to live independently. I’m legally visually impaired and my wife has Parkinson’s, but we’re able to get around. We need each other’s help, so we need to find a place that’s really conducive for our lifestyle, where we can cook our own meals and be able to fellowship with others like us in our age group. The place has a movie theater, screened porch, garden spots and walking trails. "

"I toured Arbor Terrace Peachtree City. I met some of the administrators and residents and they were all very nice. I saw their menu and it was quite impressive as far as the choices that you have for each meal. I had a little snack in the dining room and then we toured the facility. It was a nice place. The suite that they showed me was so far away from the elevator. I saw a 1-bedroom and a 2-bedroom apartment, and it had a refrigerator and a stove. The halls were so long, and it would be hard to walk to the elevator. The staff was knowledgeable and patient, and she was helpful in providing me with the information that I needed. I was interested in the 2-bedroom apartment, which was way in the end and far away from the elevator."

"Somerby of Peachtree City was wonderful. The only reason I chose the other one is they had a one-bedroom with a den available and Somerby did not. The tour was better at Somerby. The other one was fair. The staff was very good. The rooms were very nice, but they're all very small."

"Larry Moore Manor was very nice. There are two floors. Everybody has a balcony. That's what I like about it. The complex is friendly and clean and everybody is courteous. The management is easy to talk to. They have a garden patio and they have a courtyard. It's a high-rise and I'm applying to the garden apartments with a patio."

"My daughter-in-law went with me, and we visited. It is within two miles of our house, which has a lot of appeal. Annie was the one who took us around. She was very friendly and outgoing, gave a good explanation of the care and the facility, and gave us a tour. It was impressive. It is a separate building from the rest of the assisted living apartments, which was helpful to know that there was no interaction between them. It was the most expensive of the three I toured, but it was probably within the range of what I expected this kind of care would require. It looked like they had a lot of variety in their food and activities, and they don't really want the residents to spend their day in the bedroom. They need to be out and mixing with the rest of the group. You have a choice of a studio or a one-bedroom, where there is a bathroom between two of the rooms. They would share, but they would have their shower time scheduled on different days, so there was still a lot of privacy."

"I toured Christian City. It's an individual apartments, duplexes, and living cottages. They're modernized as far as the fixtures are concerned. They update the carpet and everything when you move in. You select your carpet, and they provide blinds. It seemed to be real nice. You pay a portion when you move in, and it is called a life lease. They have exercises, walking trails, the whole nine yards."

"HearthSide Club Lafayette is nice but I just can't afford it. They said they go by your income but the person who assisted me said I had to be making a certain amount to qualify to get in there. It is beautiful though. You could get a 1-bedroom or a 2-bedroom, but you just have to qualify and have to have the income to do it. A lot of retirees go there too. I love the floor plan, it's very nice. In case you want to get a roommate to stay with you, the way the living conditions are set up, the roommate is on one side with her own bathroom, and then it's got another bathroom on the other side too. The staff was very efficient. The seniors who are not able to cook for themselves can get assistance. They can get assistance with doctors' appointments and all of that too. It's good, it's like a 5-star hotel. I like the layout of the rooms and I like everything about it. It's in a nice area too. It's close to everything like shopping and even restaurants. "

"I went to Providence Personal Care Home. The staff was nice, they seemed very well informed about what they offer. This wasn't a good fit for my aunt though, it's a smaller facility, and they take a maximum of five people in their home. It's nice. It's just like a traditional house, and they're renting out rooms. But it was clean. The few people that they have there, seemed well-kept, friendly, and involved in the activity that they were doing for the day."

"Loved ones moving to an assisted living facility have often been through a frightening time already, making the move more traumatic for them. My mother had lost not only the child she lived next to (allowing her to stay in her own home), but her daughter was also her best friend. Upon moving closer to me, she was moving farther away from her friends and church of 35 years. It was terribly difficult! We visited many places, but the staff at Azalea Estates made us feel as if it was indeed possible for Mom to call a new place "home". They took such care to make her feel welcome, listen to her needs, and make her feel loved. The facility is always beautifully maintained and decorated, the meals well prepared and delicious, and there are many fitness activities and fun games taking place in which the residents can participate, if they so desire. I feel like the staff is an extension of my own family and am forever grateful that my mom is there. "

"My brother went to Carrollton Club. The place is very nice, very clean, and very quiet. I think they serve them one meal a day, and then they cook for the rest of it. They have their own kitchen and everything. It's a bedroom, a living room, and a full kitchen with a stove and refrigerator. They can have a pet. It's about $200 extra for a pet, just one and not over 20 pounds. It's convenient to the VA and pretty close to the hospital. They have bus service three days a week. They take you to the grocery store and to places that you need to go inside the county. I think it's a very good place. If I had to be by myself and have a place to live, I wouldn't mind living there. It's not like your house, of course, but I would feel safe there. Everyone that we've met over there has been very friendly and very cooperative. I didn't have any contact with the staff. My husband did, and he was pleased. They were easy to work with and very helpful. They have a cleaning service, a garbage service, and a laundry room (not in their apartment, but in the building that is convenient and very reasonably priced). I think he's going to be pleased there. He has to pay his electric bill. They have a lot of open spaces, dining rooms, and things that people can gather and associate with each other. I thought it was a nice setup."

"It was kind of distant as far as going from Atlanta, but the facility itself was pretty nice. The young lady who showed around was the facilitator's assistant. She showed me the apartment and she was very nice and very polite. Everything's clean. The room was pretty small. The atmosphere was nice."
