Independent Living Communities in Smyrna, GA

"I looked at the independent living at The Holbrook of Decatur for my mom. Their assisted living areas were closed off because of the COVID. The place was very sharp and modern, the people were very friendly, and they seemed like they have their act together. Their rooms were very good, and met my expectations. Some were bigger and some smaller."

"I moved a family member to Canterfield several months ago. She is very happy there and is receiving excellent care. The facility is clean and bright and all of the staff is very friendly and nurturing with the residents. The dining staff has taken great pains to ensure that my aunt (who currently is the only resident who is a vegetarian) has a balanced diet with plenty of food choices. I'm very pleased with the selection of Canterfield as my aunt's residence and would recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, caring environment with various activities available to the residents."

"The tour at Vickery Rose Retirement Community was very good. The people were very nice and gracious. They answered all my questions. The facility was very, very nice, and I enjoyed it. The rooms were fine, the layout, it is rather large, but it's all very, very good. The rooms were nice. They have various arts and crafts rooms and a library, they have a lot of seating and visiting areas, and that was fine. I think they only do two meals a day."

"We are choosing Varenita of West Cobb for my mother because it was new and we liked the people. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and happy. The place was large and it was very clean. They had a little courtyard area and a relaxation area. This facility was located near restaurants and grocery stores."

"This is an extremely wonderful place from the staff to the great living arrangemens. I spent most of my days enjoying karoke, and enjoying the wonderful field trips to places such as zoo atlanta and fernbank "

"Sanford Estates was very nice, band new, and beautiful. I went back for their open house. The staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and was willing to help. The location was good. The rooms were all brand new, gorgeous, and decorated well, although they were very small. They had a good social director. I have already recommended them."

"My parents are in Celebration Village. It's an excellent facility. They still care for the independent recipients even though they're not in the assisted living part. They still make sure they're taken care of, so they're not independent in other words. They still have constant care. The staff is excellent. I don't worry about them knowing the level of care the employees give the recipients. They have gaming, music, crafts, and movies, they have doctors that come in and see the residents at that facility, and they have physical therapy. They have three meals a day for anyone that wants to go over and have that or they take them to their apartments. They provide transportation for them to medical appointments and groceries and shopping and whatever else they need. They're located in an area where everything is within 5 to 10 minutes of either a car ride or a walk for shopping or groceries or medical care, drycleaning and UPS, and things you might need."

"Noble Village at Spalding was brand new, very fancy, and very nice. The one-bedroom was ridiculously small, and it had a small, full kitchen, but it had a refrigerator. You're supposed to eat three meals each day in the dining room there. They were very expensive. They had houses and cottages that were lovely, and the grounds looked nice. They have a van that takes people out, lots of activities, and a little swimming pool. It's just far too expensive for what I would want, and I don't need all that. From what they told me, they seemed to have a lot of activities. "

"Creekside Pines Retirement Community was great. My mom loves it. They have a lot of activities. She's on the first floor, so she likes it. They have exercise classes, and they take them shopping. They have therapy, theater, mall shops, library, and all different kinds of things. Most of all, the pricing was reasonable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Their food is pretty good. They're very outgoing people."

"Cottonwood Estates was a little bit older facility, and they did not have full kitchens. They just had a kitchenette, which was just a sink and a dorm room refrigerator, and that's something that we didn't want. We wanted a full kitchen. It's strictly independent. The staff was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. The dining area was a restaurant type. They gave us a pie because it was right before Thanksgiving, and it was very good."

"Village Park Senior Living has a separate theater building. It has about the same number of units as the other Village Park, but they have more land. It just opened in April. The staff was excellent. They have villas and cottages on the property and building apartments. They have a pool, an exercise room, a little bar for happy hour, a little cafe, and a hair salon."

"I visited Angels PCH LLC. It's a nice place and very clean, too. The housemaker or the house owner showed me around and told me everything. They explained the whole situation between assisted living and independent group living and whatnot. The rooms are clean and well-maintained. The beds were made up. She was cooking, made me some cornbread, and gave me good corn muffins. It was clean all the way around and the grass was well cut. The porch was clean and didn't have any clutter. The tables and chairs were neatly arranged and were very comfortable, you could sit out on the porch and enjoy nature."

"Parc at Duluth is probably the best. The chef came out and met with us, which I thought was very interesting. He brought out a menu and spent some time with us. The marketing person spent over an hour and a half with us, too. The place was beautiful and absolutely top-notch. They were upgrading the apartments with new appliances, new carpeting, and paint. You could see that they put a lot of care into their place in great detail. We saw a two-bedroom, which I thought it was a little small and a little odd. What was in it was very nicely done, but the square footage was small for my mother and father-in-law's personal needs. They didn't have villas and cottages, and that's the downside. They had a library, movie nights, and outings. The gorgeous pool was a big plus. They have bridge club, wine and cheese, and happy hour once a week."
