Country Place Senior Living of Athens

We toured Country Place Senior Living of Athens. The living atmosphere was good. It was very casual and very comfortable. It was nice and clean. It's small, too. They have a film room, and they watch movies. It was just a simple small room, and they would have popcorn and stuff. The whole place is all open. Some people were sitting there, which is like any other place. You go in and you see elderly people sitting in the dining area. The dining area was nice. The rooms were smaller. The staff were very friendly. At the time we went in, they were having a house cleaning day and she apologized. She goes, 'Hey, it's our house cleaning day. We're in our casual clothes.' And I said, 'It's okay.' They were running around and cleaning everything. They were cleaning the whole place. The menu was kind of simple. The kitchen area wasn't super professional. It was okay; it was like a big home kitchen. It seemed OK, there was nothing wrong with it, but it wasn't topline.

Country Place Senior Living of Athens didn't give us a tour, but we spoke with the manager. She was awesome. It was a very pleasant experience. She was very pleasant, very informative, and willing to contact another facility for us. The only thing I saw was when you enter the front doors, and there was a dining room and a waiting room. I didn't get to visit any of the living quarters. It was very welcoming, and it looked very clean to me. It was close to shopping and not too far from the hospital. We didn't get too much past the front door, but the young lady that greeted us was very welcoming.

My father will be moving into Country Place Senior Living of Athens. They allowed me to see his room, and I was really surprised they allowed me in. It's one room with a kitchenette and a bathroom. It's kind of small and L-shaped, so you can have a sitting area, and he has windows. I just don't know if we can still get that room because we have to postpone. I only talked to the director, and she's fine. They allowed me to go inside the facility, and that is a risk. They should be more diligent about who they allow in with the pandemic right now.

We found Country Place Senior Living of Athens. It's very small, family oriented, religious background, and my mother has been there for a little while now. The staff is very giving, they're very loving people, they seem to care about everybody that's there, and they're just very sweet people. Recently, they've gotten two new cooks, they are having some issues with the cooks, and they're still working to get a permanent cook. It's not real fancy, but the rooms are very nice, very well kept, they keep it clean, they do all kinds of activities to keep them busy. They have church service, they have puzzles, they have a table where they put puzzles together all the time, they play yahtzee, they play bingo, there are all kinds of craft making through different holidays, and they have a beautician that comes in and does their hair.
