Nursing Home Communities in Gainesville, GA

"Since my mother broke her leg, we had to put her into rehab in Friendship Health and Rehab. The facility is an older facility, but it's clean and smells nice. The staff is real helpful and they are very caring. I was very surprised when I first walked in, they're rated very high. They don't have any deficiencies or any of that in their last score. I have to rate them a four only because the facility is old; other than that, if it was a newer building, people would be fighting to get in. I'm happy with them. "

"We toured Chelsey Park Health & Rehabilitation. When we toured it, we saw things that none of us thought about having to teach someone who may have had a stroke like our mom. I mean, they had a bedroom set up so that they could teach them how to get in and out of bed safely. They had a car or a little pickup truck without the bed of the truck so they could teach them how to get in and out of a car from a wheelchair or a walker. They had like a little store set up teaching them how to pick out vegetables, and a booth in a restaurant to teach them how to get in and out. So it was just like things I never thought of that some may need to be shown and it was just truly amazing. They had a private room where there was one patient and they had their bathroom. It was very neat. The patients' rooms were on the second and third floor and each floor had a porch like you could go out there if you were in a wheelchair or walker. You could go out there and sit and just look at the mountains. The staff was very nice. They greeted us with eye contact. The girl that we would have seen happened to be in a meeting so she couldn't give us a tour, but the little girl who worked in the front end said, "I'll be glad to take you around." So she did. She took us to all three floors, and showed us their bathing area, the laundry room, just everything. She did a very good job."

"Although the rooms are small the staff is exceptional. The treat the residents like family. They have a butterbean auction for the residents who do not have money so that they can get special treats. A very "FAMILY" atmosphere!"

"My grandmother was at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Cumming. The thing I appreciated was that they fudged an extra day out of it because Medicare only pays for a maximum of two weeks, and so they made her start date later than it was to give her some extra therapy time and to give her more time there. I liked that they gave her two extra nights/one extra day for free. So that was good for her. The staff were very caring, compassionate and very helpful. They made all her doctor's appointments before they discharged her, so that was good. The therapy was very good there. The level of care was very good. Just every part of it was very good. The facility was clean and well-kept. It was inpatient, it was an extension of the hospital, and so it was very hospital-like."

"My parents are doing good so far in Chestnut Ridge Nsg & Rehab Ctr; there are no problems. The staff is very attentive and answers all their needs. The only issue we've had is that sometimes it takes a while for them to take care of the residents' bathroom needs. My parents are very comfortable in their rooms, and before the lockdown everybody and everything was good. So far, my mother likes the food. She has had no issues with the food, and so far she likes it. The facilities are a little older, but they're trying to update it, and it's also very clean. For the money I think it's an excellent value. They have a great rehab facility there and it's one of the better rehabs in this part of the state."

"Having done a lot of Hospice volunteering in the past, I can tell you that Cumming Health and Rehab, formerly Cumming Nursing Center, is a very good Nursing Home. My mother is a resident there and I frequently visit the facility and interract with the staff. For one thing, the facility is clean and smells fresh. There is always someone cleaning and tending to the overall care and maintenance matters. Although the building is older and the rooms are small, I feel that the condition and cleanliness makes up for any lack in size or style. There is a significant ratio of staff to resident and when you need to talk to someone you can easily locate them. I have also found the direct care staff to be attentive and interested in my mother and her various needs throughout the day. I have a lot of reason to believe that she is in a good place at this stage in her life and I am at peace with her being a resident at Cumming Health and Rehab."

"The facility was very clean. My grandfather was there after complications with Parkinson's disease. All of the staff were courteous, caring, and answered questions very well. The food was healthy, suited to what he needed, and no one minded helping him if he had trouble using his hands or anything. The physical therapy that he had to do was done properly, at his level, and with plenty of respect and caring. At no time was he treated rudely or like he was simply a number. He made friends there and while he never thought of it like home he did enjoy it enough that he wasn't devastated at being there. The biggest complaint I have is that the administrative staff were not as nice as the nursing staff. It was difficult to get straight answers about things like insurance or even when the doctor would be in. They often spoke down to myself, my mother, and my grandmother. We could have done without condescending attitudes but overall it's a great facility. "

"My aunt was came to this facility with nasty legs wounds, barely walking let alone standing and thanks to the staff at Northridge, her wounds are now healed and she is now living back at home with her son walking around better than she has done in a long time. Staff was very kind and generous with my aunt while she was there. She told me misses the staff and would like to come visit them. Thank you Northridge. "

"I spent 2 months insalude. It is a wonderful facility with caring staff. My needs where meet by a wonderful staff. I would go back there if needs. From the nursing staff to the physical therapy to all the staff very good.just can't say enough about what a pleasant experience it was. Have told many people about salude"

"My grandmother was at Winder Health Care for rehab following a fall at home. The rehab department was wonderful, and the staff was great to my grandmother. She was very well cared for. I have read all the negative comments on this facility, and yes the facility may be older but what matters is the care they receive! And my grandmother did very well there. She was there for short term rehab and returned back home in the community thanks to the wonderful team at Winder Health Care. Our family really appreciates the care she received and would recommend Winder Health Care to anyone seeking somewhere for their loved one to go whether it be for therapy or long term nursing care! "

"Mom and dad are in Habersham Home. They're very well taken care of and I couldn't ask for a better staff. They have socials, something planned every day, and my mom participates. They have Bingo, all kinds of games, lemonade socials, popcorn and movies, and the residents go outside for walks. The staff is excellent."

"My mother has been in assisted living at The Bridge At Lawrenceville. The residents have been cared for pretty well. They seem to care about their tenants. My mom always says that the food is good. The facilities are nice and clean, and so on. The room hasn't been kept as clean as we would like. The carpet needs cleaning and that kind of thing, but the last couple of months, her condition has been degrading, and so that's probably part of the reason they haven't got there. And of course, COVID had a big impact on the whole thing too. The staff members are good. They have games, movies, and things like that. They got a patio and a courtyard."
