I am/was a resident of this facility

I was a resident in the rehab portion of the skilled nursing facility. I had undergone a bilateral total knee replacements and was brought to Dunwoody after a very brief stay at Bryan Mayr Hospital. I received daily physical therapy which was very tough given that I had just had 2 knees replaced. The team did not pre-medicate me with pain medications to help with rehab as they felt I shouldn’t need pain meds at that point! This absolutely floored me as I was in pretty severe pain. The food wasn’t that good. I lost a lot of weight while there for 2 weeks cause I couldn’t eat the awful food. I was so anxious to get home. They wanted to keep me another week. I told them I was leaving Period. The social worker said “well, we can’t keep you against your will.” I called my husband & said come get me! Never was so glad to see home in my life! Don’t go to Dunwoody!

Dunwoody Village was relatively small. It had grounds around it that were very walkable. Each house had an outdoor patio, so there was access to the outdoors. There were a lot of activities, book groups, movies, and performances. The facility was clean and well-maintained, and recently renovated. We were able to try their food, and it was average. The apartments looked adequate. The staff seemed friendly and capable, but they seemed a little overworked. I would suggest more variety in meals.

Help the seniors!

Would not recommend to anyone. The professionalism and quality of nursing administration is very poor, and not worth the tremendous fee DW charges. I’m assuming there is some type of executive administrator/general manager, or someone in charge of the whole works, but do not know. If there is executive management on site, I’d never know it. It seems like nursing administration runs the show and does whatever they want, and not caring how they do and [mostly] do not communicate with families. Too much money for low quality care and bullshit from nursing administration. However, there are a lot of very nice pictures of nature that dominate the website that say absolutely nothing about the quality of care and value for the dollar.

They don’t keep complete med records, omitting much trauma and falls. I watched an EKG performed on my wife who had collapsed in the bathroom. They have no record of the EKG. I watched the nurse pull the paper from the EKG machine, read it and throw it away. You would be incontinent too if you waited 45 minutes for assistance. And no one there on Saturday or Sunday...a complete fraud. And now they won’t tell you how many have or had corona or...died of it. They won’t Respond to emails and if you the caregiver won’t show up in their office at their convenience to hear their discharge plan, they threatened me with appointing another person to make decisions for my wife. When I subsequently wrote to complain about the missing and clearly incomplete medical records (having signed their form and paid their charge) and further about the unexplained fracture she suffered during her first 10 days there, my letter went certified to every Board member and the management team. Absolutely no one answered. Zero. Stay away. Stay far away.

Not fond of this place. My father was here for rehab after breaking his back. They forced him to do rehab, and were unkind to him. His back was broken, and it was like spaghetti, and they said he was not working hard enough. He was in agony due to his broken back. Then they allowed him to languish in bed, till one morning, when I was in the room as well, a bedsore that was on his back exploded, and blood was all over the bed. The activity director is a joke as well. She is not capable of running the activities in the skilled setting. I would look at any other place but this.

My grandmother was a patient here for her medical needs. The staff was attentive, patient, friendly and assisted our family. Not only were we kept informed, we could see the changes in my grandmother from the time she entered the facility to her departure. I would highly recommend Greenleaf to anyone seeking care for a loved one.

My grandmother was a patient on the rehabilitation floor of Dunwoody Village. The staff was attentive, patient, friendly and assisted our family during a very difficult time. Not only were we kept informed, we could see the changes in my grandmother from the time she entered the facility to her departure. I would highly recommend Dunwoody to anyone seeking care for a loved one.

I was hoping to visit a friend this weekend who just checked in on Friday. I called to get information as to where on the facility she was housed but I guess they think they are a marketing firm. They don't have anyone to answer the phone on weekends to let you now where folks are. Why would they need that with a 26 acre facility. The only number listed is for the marketing team... How convenient!.

Dunwoody Village is really nice. Unfortunately, it's overpriced for what we needed. They have a memory care unit, a pool, physical therapy, and nice grounds. The memory care has a community dining area. Nothing fancy, just tables and chairs. They're really expensive.

Dunwoody Village was very nice. My dad was in the rehabilitation part of it. It was very good. The physicians and the nurses were good. I would definitely recommend it. If I had one criticism the nurses were busy and my dad had a lot of needs at that point.

Many of the hands on staff are caring and attentive, but the Administration handled a recent bedbug outbreak very badly.

At Dunwoody Village, they have the standard amenities and nice rooms. They have large dining areas instead of more private ones. There were lots of people that seemed happy there. Overall, Dunwoody Village is well managed, and it is neat and clean.

Dunwoody Village is the best in the area! My mother is here in Personal Care and has been for three years and she loves it. We had visited a few facilities before her move and, although Dunwoody is not the newest, it is by far the most friendly and all of the staff members have been wonderful. I can not say enough wonderful things about this facility.

My mother was in Dunwoody for Rehab. This was her 2nd time at this facility. First time was wonderful. Second time was awful. My mother had macular degeneration. Her trays of food were brought in and just left there. She was served chicken with bones. I mentioned to the nurse that my mother couldn't see in one eye and poor eyesight in the other eye. The nurse responded saying, "yea, we know, your mother has macular degeneration". I told her my concern in my mother having the ability to see her food, especially chicken with bones. The nurse responded saying, "your there to help your mom"! The nurse continued to eat her dinner. No one smiled or made eye contact with my mother when they came in her room. I'm not including the therapists. They were kind to my mother. My mother was dying and probably should have never been sent to a rehab floor. As much as my mother's body was failing, her mental status was 100%!!! The staff thought differently. My mother would say to me, " please don't complain. You'll go home and I have to stay here". She was afraid to be alone there. My mother would say to me that she didn't know what she did to make these people not like her. She would go out of her way to be kind. Three days before she died, I arrived to visit at 11:00am. Her breakfast tray was just sitting there. My mother ask me if I could feed her breakfast. So I did. Again, my mother didn't want me to say anything to the nurse. I stayed for 7 hrs and never saw anyone come in to see if she was ok. The next day I arrived to find my mother sitting in her chair with her head dropped on food tray. It took me a good 5 minutes to wake her up. I called the nurse. She did come in immediately to help my mom. The final day a nurse was working who we never met before. She was an angel sent by God to comfort my mother in her last hours of life. Her name was Annette!!!! She smiled at my mom, rubbed her back and gave my mom the love, respect and dignity she deserved at her hour of death. Every patient deserves the same respect not just my mother. Annette, that's all I know of her, our family will never forget you!!!! Thank You!!!!

The staff was very competent and business-like at Dunwoody Place. It’s back off of a very busy road and trees. A nice, pleasant country-like setting, clean, modern, efficient place. It has a good reputation from what we’ve heard. My mother-in-law has been in four care facilities, and of the care facilities that she has been in, I think it was the best of the four.

I think if I were choosing a place today, I would pick Dunwoody Village. It has been around forever. When we used to live in that area and go shopping and driving around, we would pass it all the time. I’m talking about forty years ago, so it’s not a brand new construct. When I was there, in fact, we were tripping over wires and holes and walls because they’re going through extensive remodeling. They were not afraid to show me all the works because they were ripping things apart and making things look better, up-to-date, refreshed, and all of that. They showed me everything that was going on. They did have townhouses -- one level, where you had an indoor front entrance but there was a patio with a sliding door that led to a big, extensive open grass, which was very nice. Dunwoody had little closet space because it was an older construction. That was one of the consistent things I noticed with every place I visited: the older the community, the less amount of closet space or storage space. I really liked the place, and I liked the people. I had lunch with one of the older residents, who happened to be eighty-two, and she was a lovely person. The dining room was beautiful, and it looked out onto landscaped areas. The food was good. I had a very nice tour. It had nice open spaces and nice apartments. It is pet friendly, and the surroundings are very pleasant.

My mom stayed in Dunwoody Village for twenty plus years. She died there and she was a hundred and one. It's the place to go. It's a very large facility. They had townhouses there too. They had to have dinner at the main dining room every night. My mom was very happy there. The staff absolutely loved her. If I could rate them a ten, I'll give them a ten.

Dunwoody, as the locals call it, is an upscale and exclusive assisted living facility. I recently went there to visit my family's oldest living neighbor. He is still very active and I'm glad he is at Dunwoody because they offer many activities both within the facility and out in the community. The staff seems very committed to their jobs and he seems happy and well adjusted.We're glad he has the ability to be independent while still having top notch medical care and support within the village. He is currently shopping at the local supermarket and preparing his own meals but should he need another procedure, he can always join the group in the facility's dining hall. I would highly recommend this experience for any senior who would like to be part of the community provided they have the financial means. Dunwoody is not inexpensive but it is very good care.

Dunwoody Village has a fairly large campus with very nice grounds. They have walking paths and gardens. It is convenient to shopping, and is in an upper-middle class area in a suburb of Philadelphia. The common areas were very nice from what I can remember. I remember them having pool tables, ping pong tables, computers, TVs, etc. The residents' rooms were all very nice too. While I was interning there, they redid the assisted living facility, and the residents' rooms are now more like nice hotel rooms. They also have independent living, and the skilled nursing rooms were larger than at other facilities. The food was pretty good. I ate it myself a bunch of times. They changed the menu frequently and they tried to be relatively nutritious. The staff members were good. They had more of an extensive social service department, which is something that I liked. They had several doctors on staff and several nurses and CNAs, and they all did a good job. For the most part, a lot of the residents seem to be wealthier, and there are a lot of locally famous people who lived there. It is a more upscale place. It was very clean, and for a nursing home, it smelled pretty good. It is a pleasant place.
