The Best Memory Care Communities in Cherokee County, GA

"I toured Canterfield of Kennesaw. I would say they are excellent. I would give them all five because I really like them. They have a lot of arts and crafts going on. And, of course, they have bingo and that sort of thing, but the artwork is what I recall the most - it's special. Their floor plans were actually a little bit bigger, and I liked the way they were set up. They had an outdoor space and walking trails. The place was clean, but I was really impressed with the people that work there. The physical therapist there was very good."

"I love the workers. I love the food. The workers are so graceful. I feel like I’m home. "

"Very caring and nice house. Ebbie is awesome! Many really cares about the people who live here. Highly recommended. "

"We went to Golden Rose Personal Care Home. The staff was very nice. We looked at a few rooms. It is nice. It was a single room, a private room, and it was out of the price range. It was very well kept. I think they're just getting the back garden fixed up. I believe they had an out-back sitting area. The staff was very pleasant."

"Green Park Senior Care Home offered both assisted living and memory care, but I talked to them about assisted living. They don't have a separate part for memory care. The place was new and clean. The lady that greeted me was knowledgeable. She's been at that business for a long time. I was looking at some of the residents. They were sitting in the lounge area watching the TV, and it made me depressed. It didn't seem like they were active. I don't know what they do to make them active. They were just sitting in their wheelchairs, just quiet watching the TV. There was not a lot of stuff going on to make it a lively place. The rooms were nice. She showed me a single room, and it was pretty nice and a nice size. I also saw a double room. I didn't really go in because there were two people in there. The double room looked like just a regular room. To me, it wasn't a big room. It was like a hospital double room. It looked very clean. It's right off of a major road, Highway 41. It's set back from Jiles Road, so they would have the peace and quiet. Behind it has a lot of nice tall trees. When springtime comes, the seniors could sit in the sunroom and watch the birds."

"It was nice visiting. My grandma love it there. Very peaceful place for the elderly"

"I toured here, it was smaller and a little more quaint and personable. We walked in the front door and we talked with the lady, and she showed us around. There were two main hallways of rooms, and she told us the difference. There was a studio, a one-bedroom, and a two-bedroom. We went down each hall and she did show us a couple of examples of the ones that she could. We did see the dining area, which was just one dining area, and there was a memory care unit. They had several different courtyards, and they did have a few amenities. One thing she did say they do, which I liked, is that on the 4th of July, Labor Day, and probably because it's a smaller facility and more personable, they have cookouts for the assisted living people and tell them to invite their family. I did see some other caregivers, but the few caregivers that we did see were pretty friendly. I just heard them talking to other people and calling them by name. They just seemed very accommodating."

"I went to visit Brookdale Chambrel Roswell and had a great tour of the community! The sales person invited my husband and my mother and I to stay for lunch. We all really enjoyed our meal and the servers were very attentive and friendly. I met the director of dining services and was told that all of the meals are made in house from scratch. "

"I am staying at Northstar Square. The staff members are helpful. I couldn't eat my lunch today because it was awful. I can't say that the meals are desirable. When I came out of the hospital, the room was never painted or properly cleaned for a new resident. So I have never been happy with my room. A lot of the residents go to the activities. Sometimes, they have musicians come in."

"We went to The Oaks at Alpharetta yesterday. The young lady helped us very well. Kelly I think was her name. She explained everything and gave us a brochure. I like the way it was leveled out to different caring levels like assisted, to memory, it had three. It's a nice place. I liked it. We walked through it and saw the movie room, and they had a laundry facility, a dining area, and they had kitchens they could use. The rooms were pretty nice, they're spacious and the living quarters look right. We didn't see anything that we didn't like. The staff was very pleasant to talk to and she explained things very well."

"My wife will be moving into Celebration Village Acworth within the next month. We have all of the requisite conditions met by this facility. There were so many activities that were possible there. One of the things that attracted me was eventually, I could move in there too. I was pleased with the fact that they had a nice little exercise room with lots of equipment and they had a pool. It had well-kept grounds and it had a very pleasant atmosphere. It was just immaculate. We walked through one of the rooms where people were eating lunch, and the food looked good to me. We saw a full plate there. The first time we arrived, they had a group there having a little concert of 60's and 70's music, which appeals to people of our age. And they were quite good. There was a lot of participation from the residents. They also had karaoke night once a week. The staff was very pleasant, very friendly, and very nice. "

"Atria North Point was great and fantastic. It was a little more upscale. They even serve a glass of wine for dinner. Their amenities were very nice. It has a big condominium feel. It was a clean place. The staff was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend this facility to anybody. The apartments were nice and spacious. "

"I visited the memory care facility of Regal Pointe at East Cobb. They are good at listening, but quite salesy. When we were at this other place we were also touring, the person there knew a lot of the names of the people and asked somebody questions like have they drank water, and then asked somebody on the staff to get them water. As we're touring this place, though, we saw somebody there standing, nobody was with her, her mouth hung open, but the person we were touring with didn't say hi or address her. He said excuse me and walked around her and then closed the door. He told me sorry and that he had to close the door because she might come in. This is a person who knows who she is, so that didn't feel great to me. He really listened to me and talked about how he got into this because of his own parents. However, after we toured the rest of the facility, and as we were going into the memory care, he said, "This is going to be really sad". I feel like that's how he sees it, and projecting it like that felt like he didn't respect the people who were in that wing. The room size was fine, but I think my biggest concern was that there was an overpowering smell of urine. I would expect that there'll be some urine in some places, especially since it's lunch and on a memory care wing where there's going to be a lot more incontinence. Other than that, the dining area looks satisfactory, and the parking was easy. I would say that on the assisted living side, it was clean with interesting facilities and activities. However, the memory care side was just depressing. My grandparents were in a nursing home through my teen years, and I'm not usually one to say I was triggered by something, but I was triggered by something there. I came home and literally sat in a chair for a while."

"My parents have lived at Inspired Living for almost a year. They have made friends with residents and staff. They are served a variety of good food and also enjoy all the activities and entertainment. It has been a hard year dealing with Covid restrictions. I'm thankful they have kept my parents safe and healthy while trying to allow them freedoms here and there and keep them engaged and active. My family is very thankful our parents live at Inspired Living!"
