Memory Care Communities in Dacula, GA

"I visited Courtyard Gardens in Lawrenceville, GA. to see for myself the facility and the programs it offers its residents. I was impressed by the home.The staff seemed to genuinely care about the residents. I worked for a different facility many years ago and because of how terrible it was, I was hesitant to ever have a loved one placed in a home. Courtyard Gardens was different. The residents I encountered seemed happy and most were busy doing activities of one sort or another. They get taken on trips, play games, participate in fitness activities, create gifts for their loved ones in crafting classes, and stuff like that. By the end of the visit, I felt very satisfied with the quality of the establishment. If you have fears and impressions of what you think an assisted living home is like, I encourage you to check out Courtyard Gardens. "

"My mom moved into Ashton Manor At Sugarloaf two weeks ago. The people are very friendly. The place is clean, the rooms are nice sized and the price is reasonable. The staff is extremely friendly. She said the food is ok, not bad. I like how large the rooms were and the cleanliness. The layout is nice, they have a courtyard, and it's kind of small. I have just one complaint with them and I think there's not enough activity."

"The Landing of Winder was a beautiful facility. I was looking for my dad and they had a lot of great programs and a lot of great activities. I felt like the care that they give each resident is greater than that of some other facilities. They seemed to have a good ratio of employees and nurses to the residents, so I felt good about that. The thing that stuck out for me is that they offer not only assisted living and memory care but they offer transitional care, which is kind of in-between both, so it kind of gives the resident the best of both worlds (assisted living and memory care) and that's what I was looking at for my dad. It looks like each program is very individualized or tailored to each individual. I know they do some type of therapy that kind of helps people go back and recollect things and review their memories, they kind of go to different places, places they may have been, or places they may have visited in the past. They kind of go back to those places virtually and it helps to kind of get in touch with the memories they may have had before. All in all, I would highly recommend The Landing of Winder."

"Dogwood Forest of Grayson was very modern. It's relatively new with wide open hallways, long corridors for the residents, and a lot of seating. When I walked in, I was very comfortable. You could hear people talking and they had activities that were going on. There was music, they were playing bingo, chess, and there were tables laid out for card games. They also have a physical/speech therapy room for exercise, which I liked. The dining area was very nice and very spacious. The rooms were very nice-sized."

"We went to look at Heartis Suwanee. My mom felt it was very commercial, and she did not like that feeling. We had met with the salesperson who took us around, and we had a good feeling about it, but she was in a hurry. They never even followed up after the visit, which surprised me. They had a full-size refrigerator in the apartments. Everything looked clean, and the facilities looked fine. The dining area was restaurant-style. They have a nice courtyard."

"I toured Magnolia Senior Living Loganville. It was very nice and very comparable to the other facility. It was nice and clean. One of the directors took me around, and it was great. She showed me everything. I went through several different areas of the place. I had no complaints with that. It just came down to a little bit more for location and price. I saw some of the residents were eating, some were watching TV, and some were doing puzzles."

"This is a lovely facility. It's been under new ownership since Jan 2024. The caregivers are amazing showing true love in the care of the residents. The facility smells great every time you go in. They care for elderly residents with dementia and have a true understanding of the kind of help they need. My experience with the management has been great, always willing to help and provide information to help me and my family member. I would highly recommend this place for your loved one.I’m"

"The Sheridan at Eastside was nice and new. They were convenient, and I believe there were still vacancies when we visited. They provide all the utilities, meals, and activities. I think they have movies, a workout room, a pool, aerobics, crafts, bingo, and other things I'm interested in doing. The staff we met were really nice too."

"My mom moved into Oaks at Snellville. It's close to the house. It was what we needed, because we needed memory care that was close by. We get good communication from the place. They always seem to call us with anything, whether positive or negative. I've sat down with my mother to eat, so I've seen the food that they give her, and it seems good quality and nutritious. The activity director is always on top of things. She put a lot of her personal self into trying to find activities for the residents, so I am definitely happy with that. Right now, I'm happy with what we're paying for, and what we're getting from it."

"We moved my dad to memory care section of The Joy at the end of September, 2024. To help with logistics, we moved my dad first, to one of their fully furnished respite rooms, then moved him to his new suite the next day, after we got his furniture moved in and set up. It’s hard to describe how great the staff was (and is!), from the moment we walked through the front door. As you probably know, if you’re considering moving your loved one, it can be pretty stressful— for everyone. Walking into The Joy with my dad was like walking into a sanctuary of caring and calm (outside, there was literally a hurricane approaching :-) ). One day recently, after he’d been there a couple weeks, I was sitting with my dad in his room enjoying a cup of coffee together and, unprompted he said: “I like my new home.” He’s not a man of many words. It made my day. So grateful for everyone at The Joy!"

"We toured Antebellum James Burgess. The staff was very nice. The lady who took us around was very polite. It was an older building. It smelled like urine, but I know that sometimes that's present around older people. However, I have toured other facilities where that wasn't there. It was a older and not as up-to-date esthetically as some of the other places I've seen. The location was nice. The building itself, from the outside, was very pretty, and the inside was pretty spacious."

"My mom moved into the Towne Club Windermere. I've gotten to know the staff pretty well, it's very professional. Every person I've met has just gone out of the way to be able to help. If you're looking for independent living, this place is truly like an apartment, it's an amazing place. The craftsmanship is very good, they have granite countertops, really nice cabinets, it's just like a kitchen you would see in a normal apartment, good hardwood floors, the layout plan is good, the view is on the inside over the pool, and it just feels like you're at a resort hotel. It's a cross between a resort hotel and a country club. They have a really nice salon, a good fitness area, the movie area is really nice, it's a big room, big screens, and they have a lot of activities in that room, whether games, or classes, or bingo. Classes include yoga or chair exercises. The grounds are very well-manicured, it's a very quiet place. The view that my mother has on the back end overlooks a big pool with palm trees, overlooks a wooded area that's got some walking trails. It feels very upscale. The rooms in the assisted living are nice, but they are definitely smaller. At some point in the future she'll transition to assisted living, and when she does, those are also nice. They offer shuttle service, and they have two doctors that have their PA, and offer that service as well, and three meals a day. I've eaten there several times and the kitchen does a good job on the menus."

"The staff of Sunrise at Five Forks was wonderful. They were very helpful and very professional. We talked about that they go out shopping, they go to lunch, they'd take drives, and they do crafts. In the memory area, there was a really nice courtyard where they had flowers and plants. It seemed very clean; it was open and bright. It didn't have that gloomy, dark look that we usually think of in this kind of setting, and it was very well-decorated. One of the things that I especially liked down the memory care area, they had by the door like on the wall outside of the door, pictures of the persons from the past who thrived for the residents or who they used to be and that sort of thing, and I was really impressed with it. "

"Belmont Village Johns Creek was a nice place and the room I saw was a pretty nice size. The road is out of the way and the area is very quiet. The staff was very friendly and very nice to work with."
