Nursing Home Communities in Griffin, GA

"I recently visited Heritage Inn of Barnesville with my son and other members of the 4-H club from his school. Upon our arrival I immediately noticed that most of the residents seemed to be fairly happy and I was surprised that I did not see any residents that suffered from Alzheimers or dementia, like I have witnessed when visiting other nursing homes. I was there for only a short while when I realized the reason for this was because the facility has a separate unit for Alzheimers patients. Out of curiosity I decided to walk over to the alzheimers wing. Although the staff seemed to be handling the residents with the upmost respect and the best care they could possibly provide, the unit was extremely chaotic and loud. The residents were confused and many of them were agitated and angry. It definitely takes a special person to be able to effectively perform his job in an environment such as this and keep a positive attitude. The nurses were very professional and I could tell that this was not a professionalism brought on by the fact that a visitor was watching. It was genuine. I only feel that there should have been more housekeeping staff dedicated to this wing because, as I learned , demented residents can be very messy and disorderly at times. As a whole the nursing home seemed to be doing a good job taking care of the residents there. The place was fairly clean and the staff was welcoming and professional. "

"My mother, Betty T. is a resident in this facility. The help is wonderful, and the workers really take good care of their patients. It made me feel good that I can leave and go back to my home in California , and know that my mother would be well taken care of. The rooms are good. The food is good. I can honestly say that my interaction with the Staff is great. My sister and I are extremely thrilled with how the operation at the home is. Especially thankful for Sharon T. and her love for the patients. Church is provided for the patients. There is a nice place where you can take your loved one out and sit and talk and just relax. Mom is content, and that makes me relax. I think maybe what can improve is that more CNA's to be hired . Meaning, so the nurses could have less stress on them. I appreciate the nursing staff , and the folks who helped us to get my mom in there. My sister Hannah and I are very grateful for the good care she gets."

"My mom is a resident of Westbury Medical Care Home. The facilities are awesome. They're very attentive to my mother's needs and they're sociable. They have common areas like physical therapy areas, weight rooms, and game rooms, and it's semi-private. The food is good."

"The rooms in skilled with rehab are nice and have updated built in furniture. Very bright big windows and a caring very polite staff. This place stood out to us for these reasons. We are very happy with our choice."

"2 days ago I visited this facility and a older man seemed ok mentally begged me to use my cell phone. I asked him to try and relax and the nurse responded he’s fine. He said young lady I’m not fine . But I had no choice So but to walk away but my heart is broken. So if you have a brother .. father.. uncle in this awful home go check on him. It’s heartbreaking seeing one of our elders crying and begging for help and feel helpless for fear of getting yourself in trouble for helping them. Do some research on the owners of this facility. "

"We chose Heritage Healthcare because my daughter worked there at that time. So we felt a member of the family would see her every day. My mother's been there for over a year now. I just don't feel like they pay that good of attention to the people's needs. Although some of the people there seem really nice. But I'm still looking for something up. "

""Molena Nursing Home" is no longer the name of this facility. It is now Molena Extended Care. Molena NURSING HOME was a wonderful place to have a family member, as it was family owned and operated, but the place seemed to have lost that loving, family-like atmosphere that it was known for while it was family owned and operated. "

"I toured Jonesboro Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. It was a rehab center that offered PT and OT, but they did not accept my loved one because of his chest tube. The rooms were very nice. They had semi-private and private rooms. They had windows and they were very open. The facility was very nice and very clean. The staff who gave the tour seemed to be very knowledgeable. They have a dining area where patients would eat, and if they couldn't go, they would go to their rooms and serve them there."

"My dad is a patient at Southland. He loves it here. He loves the food, exercise and activities but most of all he loves his nursing staff. It's a great place for your loved one."

"My sister stayed at Harborview Health Systems of Thomaston. I didn't like anything about it. My sister didn't get a bath there. The staff were mostly bad, but there was one nice person. My sister's room was very old and used-looking. They neglect the patients. She was in diapers at the time because she couldn't get up, and they didn't change her. The food was usually cold when she got it. They need to provide better care for the patients. I would go up there to the front desk, and they would be sitting there using their phones and ignoring the patient's light, which is bad."

"My mother-in-law is now settled at PruittHealth - Forsyth (Heritage Healthcare of Forsyth) and she seems to be satisfied there. They have church services that come in, they play Bingo, and they have auctions on Thursdays. The staff is helpful."

"Arrowhead is a great facility! It may not be the newest building around but it’s clean and more than anything, the staff really care! I get my medicine on time and they all attend to my needs anytime I ask and are real quick about it. I would recommend anybody needing rehab or somewhere long term to live to go to Arrowhead!"

"honesty caring devoted loving loves their work "

"It was like being on vacation! The staff and therapists were excellent and provided great care. My physician was more than pleased with the progress I had made with my rehabilitation after surgery!"
