Memory Care Communities in Kennesaw, GA

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

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

"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."

"I looked at Golden Rose Personal Care Home, it was laid out nicely. The only thing is that it's not a locked facility, and the individual I'm looking for a place for is a wanderer. They have an outdoor sitting area, but their outdoor area isn't secure for the residents and my friend could escape. If she didn't have that stage of dementia, this place would have been excellent. I like the location, it was very clean, very neat, and there are no odors. The dining area was very clean, everybody was eating. It was very good, it just wasn't what I wanted. Otherwise, it would have been one of the places I would want to put somebody in. The director was very, very helpful. We didn't go deep into the facility because when I first started talking with her, she explained the security there and we knew at that point that this was not going to be the facility for us. But we sat there and talked in general about what they offer. I could see the dining room from where I was, and the staff was very friendly. She was most helpful, she could have told me anything to get me in there, but she was truthful. They were upfront and honest."

"My father-in-law moved to Oaks At Towne Lake. They care and are easy to contact, the cleanliness and the food are good, and the caregivers care. The rooms are adequate in size, updated, and clean. They have a variety of foods and it's always good. There's a monthly calendar that lists all the activities."

"My wife moved into Camellia Place Assisted Living & Memory Care. It's a nice price. The staff was very good. The facility is very clean. For activities they offer a number of things like pickleball. The rooms are a fairly good size, very large."

"I met with a woman named Michelle at Bellevue Village at Neese Road and she was phenomenal. She was very kind and empathetic, but not overly. She gave me the tour and the facility is very clean. The staff was interacting with the residents. It was very nice. Now they're under renovation and it's their memory care area that was getting it, but I can look ahead and see what their vision is and I think it'll be very nice when they're done. They had a very open dining area and it seemed to accommodate activities as well, which is a good thing, because then you have a lot more activities going on. They had a courtyard that was very nicely fenced. It had large trees beyond that. So, it gave a feeling of being kind of in the country or outdoorsy, which is something my husband needs. It has a nice little walkway. Everything seemed very secure. Their menus looked very good. There were a lot of smiling faces when we were there. Everybody spoke to me and they would excuse themselves. Like if they were talking to a resident, they would tell them first that they were going to talk to me. I thought that was a nice touch."

"I toured The Carriages of Marietta. My first impression is that I feel welcome there - just a general feeling of warmth and love. The staff who helped with the tour were very helpful. I noticed an area to read, and the reading materials were available. It's a very nice place."

"I went to the Oaks at Acworth. The big apartment and the next size one was pretty good. It was better than some of the sizes of apartments. The transportation, the doctor's office, and things like that are two of my main things. And an outdoor space would be the third. They were doing an activity in the room when we arrived. I think the staff was kind of new there. Cleanliness was fine. They had a patio, it was a rainy day then, and the patio was made of wood. Over time, sometimes it's not as level as it should be, I think for the senior citizens."

"My mother was a resident at Ridge Manor. I can't begin to express my gratitude to the staff for their loving care. From making her favorite meal easing her arrival to providing a warm and loving presence during her last days. Mom enjoyed the wonderful home cooked meals, the stimulating activities and beautiful surroundings. Her caregivers became her new best friends. Not only was the staff respectful of my mother but of me. I was consistently informed of any issues that arose and was warmly welcomed whenever I visited."

"Mom moved to Smyrna Village. She is in the memory care. I knew they were under a new management system, but when I first went there, I was amazingly impressed with Germain and his staff and how they were handling things and how they had changed that care facility into trying to make it better for the residents. He walked me through step by step as to what to expect, how things were going to go, and what they were going to do as far as caring for my mom, and through my searches, I felt very comfortable with them. I think I made the absolute correct choice in choosing the Smyrna Village. My mom has full-blown dementia so she's not eating, but she wasn't eating at her last facility either. So that's nothing new, but they got her on supplements and proteins and things that help make sure that she gets through."

"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."

"I'm moving into Silver Comet Village. I like the fact that it is truly inspirational, and I have a lot to do there. The layout was very easy to follow and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The people there were truly a blessing to see and to meet. The food was excellent. There's more than enough room, just really spacious, and it's just really good. They have a swimming pool, they have a library to go in to read or to write, whatever you want to do there, and they have exercises available. They've got a massage room where you can get a massage on your body and there's a room to go and play cards."

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