Memory Care Communities in Sandy Springs, GA

"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."

"Sunrise at Buckhead is good, and so far we're liking it. There are no complaints on my mother-in-law's end. Communication is good. She's only been there for a short time, but they've been really good and really helpful. They have a courtyard, though I've never really seen it. With regards to the care, we have no complaints. She's there for assisted living, but they also offer a higher level of care."

"Brookdale Roswell was developed as a senior residence with a lot of walking trails. It was clean. The lady who showed us around was friendly, and she didn't rush us. They had rooms, which were one-bedroom with a small bathroom, a small kitchen, and a small terrace/veranda. The menu seemed to be reasonable. They said that they use 90 to 95% fresh ingredients, they don't use canned stuff, and they try to use locally grown vegetables. They had activities like church services. The staff were friendly. We got a chance to talk to a couple of the residents, and they seemed to like the place. They were happy, so that was a good sign. The entry room was a fairly large open space, which was a large hall. They had an outdoor pool and a lot of walking trail. They also had apartments and cottages. They had exercise equipments on the floor and their own resident physical and speech therapists. It is an independent living and assisted living facility, and they are apparently now licensed to go and build memory care. "

"I toured PruittPlace Buckhead, and it was a nice facility. It's clean and neat. The staff was very polite and very friendly. It's a fairly new place. The rooms looked very modern, nice, and up-to-date."

"Village Park at Spalding was a beautiful place, and it reminded me of a resort. They have open walkways, an outdoor pool, a cafe, a place for happy hour, and dining. It was very nice. They also have the assisted living license. The staff was wonderful, very friendly, helpful, showed us around, and did everything. They have villas and cottages, which are separate homes that are set out on the property. They also have building apartments."

"My dad is moving here. It appears clean and appears to have a modern layout. He's on the third floor (which would be kind of a drawback), but they make rounds every two hours to check on every individual; so that helps. The rooms are adequate, and they 're up to date as far as the equipment. The bathrooms are large, and there's a large walk-in shower. It's basic, but it's very adequate. We're just moving in, so I can't get in too much detail on the staff. They've been pleasant in working with us, but he's actually just moving in tomorrow. They have a theater room, and they have games. No activities were going on at the time, but that's not a main focus for us. I haven't tried the food, but the menus look good; the variety looks good."

"Atria North Point was acceptable for me and my wife. The rooms were nice, and all in all the facility was very nice. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was one of the facilities that I put on my shortlist. The only drawback was it is in an urban area. "

"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."

"I had a nice tour of Golden Rose Personal Care Home and they were very friendly people. It's a smaller location, there's only about a room or two available right now. They're mostly shared rooms. Other than that, it's an overall nice environment. But the shared room's beds are close to each other, you can reach over and touch the next person. That's kind of what I did not like about that. The person who gave me the tour was amazing, Diana, I believe was her name. The bathroom in the room is not centrally-located, so you have to walk across the other person to get there. The room that we're looking at had a sliding door with a nice patio which. It'd be better if it's all split to the middle so they'd feel more comfortable walking into the restroom or outside, and not being in the other person's space. It's a family-owned location, and all around for the price, which is $2400, it's good. It's a personal care home, so I didn't see any nurses around, but they had staff there. They had a whole board of different activities that they do like bingo, and they have a schedule of activities. The facility is great, but I think they can do a better job with the layout of the room. They're limited to rooms depending on co-ed or not co-ed."

"My parents moved in. They have activities like games, bingo, and an area outside that has an actual garden so they can plant what they like. What stands out to me is that the rooms are larger even though it's an older place. It's also a large community, so there's a lot of people to talk to. They don't have things that modern senior places have, they only have the basics, like outdoor sidewalks, and an outdoor courtyard with benches and chairs where you can walk around. They also have a game room, community rooms with a big TV, and conference rooms."

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

"I don't think Heartis Buckhead was as elegant as the other one I visited, but the apartments were a little bit larger and the view was very nice. It's city living whereas the other one is a little bit more secluded. It's smack in the middle of the city with the good and the bad. This was also a little bit cheaper than the other one. It had a full kitchen and a washer and dryer in the apartment. They have a pool and a garden. The staff during the tour was very friendly and knowledgeable."

"It was a little farther away from my house. It was a nice place, but it wasn’t a good fit for my dad. He is not to the point that he needs as much as they provide. If I felt like someone I knew that it was the type of place they were looking for, I would recommend it. I felt like the staff was kind, and it would be a safe place. "
