Countryside Senior Living of Athens

I visited Countryside Senior Living of Athens and toured the memory care side for my mother-in-law. It was very nice. They have a special wing for their memory care people where they have their own dining area, and a secured area where they can go outside, which comes with a little garden. The rooms were very nice, and they were renovating a lot of them. Of course, they have different prices for what you want. It was exactly kind of what we were looking for. It had a kitchenette and a separate living space from the bedroom. I think the pricing was within reach, too. I didn't have food, but I did see their dining area, and it was nice. It was smaller, and I believe they ate family-style at the round tables. There were probably 8 ladies there, and they had a little kind of common living area for them. Some were crocheting and knitting, and just sharing stories. The staff who gave the tour was also very nice and answered all my questions.

My Mother has been taken care of so good. And the workers are very qualified and caring. Now that the new renovations are almost complete, the place is very nice and classy.

I toured Countryside Senior Living of Athens. I didn't like anything about it personally. It was rundown. I didn't see any nurses walking around. I didn't see any care at all. It was old, and it was not what I was expecting. They didn't look like they took care of anything. I was not happy with it, so I wouldn't put my mother, my sister, or anybody else in there. The structure of the building was bad. It's old and smelly, and it just didn't look clean. The layout wasn't too good. It had a living room. It had a bedroom, a bathroom, it had a little place for a little fridge, and a microwave. Other than that it wasn't too bad, but otherwise people were just sitting there and there was no help. I mean, literally the lady in the dining room was kind of helpful, but the lady that let me show me the room, she didn't even know I was coming. She had no clue.

Lakeland House assisted living is very good. My mom's room is clean and nice. It has a nice layout and has enough room for her. The staff is excellent, caring, and professional. They have crafts, card games, and singing. The food looks good and appetizing. They have a beauty shop and a craft room.

We chose Lakeland House. It's a small community. I like the people there, and I'm impressed with the tenants. They take them shopping, walking, and I know they play bingo and cards. My sister has an apartment with a very tiny kitchen, a place for a table, and a couple of chest drawers. It's a good place.

The people from Lakeland House were wonderful. It was good, but what I didn't like was the décor. It made me feel like I was in a nursing home. Frankly, everything else was good. I had a meal there and rheir food was good, but I've tasted better at other communities. I like the room. It wouldn't take a lot of walking, which is great for my mother. I wouldn't say it was spacious, but it was big enough.
