Memory Care Communities in Marietta, GA

"It was incredible, and it's a beautiful place. It seemed like a happy place, and residents and staff seemed friendly and pleasant. They have 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms, and they were all pretty excellent. They have a laundry facility that the residents could use if they wanted to, a really pretty dining room, a library area, a room where people could watch movies, play games, or even work out, and a courtyard with benches all over. The residents can have pets, and I think that's amazingly cool. They were cooking that time, and the food smelled delicious. They had an area in the dining room where they had snacks, there was a popcorn machine, and people could cruise through there and get stuff. "

"I toured Canterfield of Kennesaw in person. It was very nice and very clean. They had a lot of activities. People looked happy there. The staff who accommodated me was very friendly and easy to communicate with. They had several amenities also. They had a beauty salon, a movie area, and a pool outside. Everything was beautiful. It was very well maintained. They had very nice dining areas. One was casual and one was more formal."

"Kennesaw Village was small but was very nice. The room they showed us for Mom was also fairly small, and at the time it would have been OK because she's not mobile. Chloe showed us around and she was very helpful. The dining area was really nice. As soon as you come into the foyer, it's right there. It's a nice set up, and then they had the menu posted where you can read it. They showed us the activity room and different things that they have set up for the people there. They had a little van so they could take the people if they needed to run and purchase things. I also met the nurse. Even though they found out that we wouldn't be staying, they still spoke with us and told us about the facility. To me, the facility looked like it was remodeled. They had hardwood floors and everything like that. We would have to bring our stuff there. They didn't have the items there for you. You will bring your own, like a bed and a chair."

"I investigated several facilities as we neared the end of Skilled Nursing, met most with great angst about the fit for my mother, and then found Woodland Ridge (WR). They made my ulcer go away. I was very comfortable with the introduction and information I received, the caregivers I met, and the environment for my mother. The WR team that went to the Skilled Nursing facility to evaluate Mom also received rave reviews for their thoroughness, warmth, and professionalism from my mother’s nurses there. (Some others did not.) Now that “we” have been at WR for a while, I can honestly say it is where I would choose to be for me if I were in the same situation as my mother. The staff is excellent in terms of their abilities, attention to needs, active care, understanding of residents, and communication with family. They seem very cohesive. I have not seen turnover, and most have been there for quite a long time. They have levels of care, and so can meet changing needs of most residents. Overall, they seem to run a tight ship (which I appreciate) with warmth and a supportive community spirit. My father and I have developed a strong communicative relationship with the caregivers there, so we feel well-connected with all aspects of my mother's needs. No, it’s not “home” and not the path we had planned. This is hard on all of us. But, WR has helped us manage this as well as we can, and we sleep well at night because we have complete confidence that my mother is cared for and supported when we are not there. "

"I have placed my sister here. It is the best that I have seen anywhere. It is a clean facility. It is a nice location. The staff is nice. The dining room is nice. They have outdoor cookout. Because they are clean, there is no urine odor. It is just a nice place. It also looks better than the other place I go to. The staff is nice. They are courteous to me and to her. They have the room redecorated for her. They are being good to her so far. "

"The staff here is excellent. My mother was there a few days in May 2019. Sadly, she passed away. She was in Hospice. I was very impressed by the staff attention to all of my mothers care. Great customer service! The building is well kept. I highly recommend this facility to anyone in need of personal or respire care. "

"Mom moved into Peachtree Creek Memory Care. What I like most about it is that I have not seen any worker who didn't go above and beyond their call of duty. They treat those people over there like they are kings and queens. It's a small place, but it seems good, and my mother hardly had any time. They were so good to her. We like her room, it's just a small room, but there's room for everything she needs. My mother has had nothing to say but good about their food. She says they're real good about giving them soft stuff which is good for the elderly, and even cutting it up for them. They make sure they drink enough. She has said a lot of good things about them."

"Thankful for the love, care, and concern that was shown to my Mom by the Northstar Square staff for the 30 days that she was there."

"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."

"This community was a wonderful place for my parents if only it was on their price range. It was a larger community compared to where they lived. They had a very strong memory care program and even residents who were not part of the program could participate. There were a lot of activities and a more active community activity calendar. I did not try the food but as I looked at the menu and the amount of options per meal, it looked wonderful. "

"Although it was really nice, it was not convenient for my children to visit their grandmother while we were away. It's just out of the area. They made us feel very welcome there. We had made arrangements ahead of time, and they greeted us. They had mom's name on the board, so it was really a nice, warm feeling that you got when you went in there. The tour and room were very nice. They talked to mom separately about her likes, and somebody else talked to my husband and me at the same time. They presented all of the things they have to do there. "

"The Mann House was a smaller facility. Everyone who worked there had worked 15 years plus. It was a 25-room facility, and it wouldn't remind you of a hospital. It felt like a home, and it was like walking into a house. The rooms were nice. The staff was great. They had an activity room, but I couldn't remember all the stuff that they said they did. "

"I toured Sunrise of HuntCliff Summit II. The community is clean, but I didn't like the parking lot. The rooms were clean and spacious. The staff is very kind. They had different clubs, crafts, and a church."

"I toured The Georgian Lakeside. I liked that it's friendly, and it's all kept up. What I didn't realize is that they have a rule that if two people can't get you up, then you can't stay there. I'm 300 pounds, and probably two people couldn't get me up unless they had bigger people. They have nice amenities. They have a balcony that overlooks the lake, which is a beautiful place to sit. They have game rooms. They have an area where you can entertain guests, set the tables, and have treats. I would say they could be the best, but there's one other thing that wouldn't work for me, and that is I still like to go to a restaurant to eat once in a while. The facility is on a road that speed limit is 55 miles an hour, it has four lanes, and there are no stoplights that you can enter the traffic with. So, I would feel unsafe driving a car out of a facility. Otherwise, it was a good facility, and the place was in good shape."
