Oaks Senior Living

We have been very pleased with the care for our mom. She's safe . The staff is always caring and helpful. Anytime we need to meet with the staff someone is available. The place is clean and food is great. We have had a wonderful experience . We have no regrets. Our experience at Remington House was not a great experience. Our mom is in good hands and We trust the team at Morningside. We are blessed and we are so pleased with the team. Pam

Moved my Loved one in February to DF. The experience has been all positive. The support staff was there for us every step of the way. They helped moved furniture, installed tvs on wall, and fulfilled every request immediately. The food is good, activities are fun and plentiful, a relaxed and pleasant environment. The facility is clean and well kept. This place has more of a homey feel than others I toured and my loved one is adjusting quickly.

Let me begin by saying my mother was a resident of Morningside for the last years of her life (five and a half years). Although we experienced the frequency of personnel changes associated with this industry we found that putting forth the effort to know the caregivers was not only good for them, but beneficial to the well being of my mother. In December of 2014 we found ourselves again in need of a facility to care for my step-father. I am thankful to say that many of the people caring for my mom are now taking care of our loved one. Brandon ( the current director) was able to have my step-father moved directly from the hospital to Morningside with very little time to prepare a room for him. This was done the evening he was released from the hospital. His Niece a registered nurse who served in the assisted living area for thirty years had never seen anything like this done before. They simply made it happen and we will always be grateful for that. To Brandon and his staff I commend you for all that you do. Please keep up the good work!

I am so pleased with the care my mother is getting at Habersham House. Having her move into assisted living -- especially with me and my brother not living nearby -- was wrenching, but the staff has been wonderful. Each time I visit there, I leave reassured that she is in caring and capable hands! Staff members really make an effort to make her feel comfortable and involved. Sadly, her mental and physical condition has worsened since she has been there (one of the reasons she needed to be in assisted living), but as she has worsened, we are seeing the staff rise to the occasion. While she has become wheelchair-bound, she has been seeing their excellent on-staff physical therapist and occupational therapist. And even though she is much less able to get about and do thing, the staff works to keep her engaged in general conversation and activities. They demonstrate real empathy and understanding, and have gone the extra mile to keep us informed. The apartments themselves are marvelous -- her 2 bedroom is a lovely place. Most importantly, Habersham House doesn't feel like an institution, but a real home.

We just moved my father-in-law in two weeks ago. I went for a visit and he was happy. He has cerebral palsy. He was in another assisted living, but they were not equipped to handle his handicap. Here is has a roll in shower, rails all around the bathroom and plenty of room for his large power wheelchair. He has a one bedroom and even the closet he can get his wheelchair in and there is still room for storage. The staff have been excellent and have allowed him time to do things on his own, which is very important to him. They show a lot of concern and have good ideas. All the other residents we have met and spoken to have been happy and very pleased. The residents are very good salespeople for this assisted living. It is the first and only place I have found for a very reasonable price that had what my father-in-law was looking for. Could not be more pleased.

My Mom is in the Horizons memory care section. She is 91 and unable to do most things for herself. The staff is excellent -- upbeat, patient, and knowledgeable. It is a relief to me to have her in such a great place.

My dad made the decision to move into an assisted living community. A Place for Mom assisted my sister, dad and myself in our search for the right home for dad. I started the search initially on my own and soon became very stressed. A Place for Mom did the research and recommended senior centers that were within our guidelines. We narrowed our search down to two senior centers but our final choice was Gracemont Assisted Living. I have never seen a senior living center that felt like home - Gracemont does. The staff are very compassionate and take an interest in every resident. The food is excellent and healthy. One of the more important things I like is the flexibility offered. Sometimes I take my dad home with me for an overnight stay. We can have meals together in the cafeteria. The center is clean and organized. There are calendars, schedules, etc to help the residents know about activities. They go on trips together. Gracemont feels like you're walking into your home.

Mr. Greeson was friendly and concerned about my mother's needs. My mother wanted a nice, new place near where I worked so I could see her regularly and The Oaks is just off the freeway. After she moved in, she found the other residents to be friendly and cooperative.

We moved my dad in The Oaks at Hampton the week it opened. The environment is very warm and homey. The food is excellent and the dining room is beautiful. The staff is wonderful. Everyone appears to love their job and is so pleasant and accommodating. It is a facility you don't mind going to visit your family member in because people know your name and care about you and your loved one. My dad's level of care is at the top of the scale, so he doesn't really get to appreciate the total facility, which is too bad because there is a lot to do. We researched several communities before choosing this one and feel this one best meets our current needs for my dad.

The staff were very accommodating of our needs even be fore we moved in. It is a small community and warm and friendly relationships between staff and residents.

Eastside Gardens has exactly what I was looking for when I realized I needed to place my loved one in an assisted living facility. She needed a facility that was secure (the doors to the outside are locked) for her safety. Yet she doesn't feel confined because of the back covered patio she can use to relax or the path through the garden to examine the plants and flowers. The staff at Eastside Gardens made her transition very smooth and offered their help in any way with the move in. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who might be searching for just the right place to call home for your family member.

Cameron Hall was great, but they did not have the ability to accommodate my uncle. The hospital and the Place for Mom representative really pushed for an assisted living facility, but after one night Cameron Hall indicated my uncle could not stay there.

It was okay, it was more expensive than Gracemont. It was nice and I liked it, we met with the activities director guy. Nothing was really wrong with it, it wasn't as convinient to where we live.

There's some things that I'l like to see a little more of. Sometimes I've found her alone in a room and it would be nice if they had her towards the community area so she could interact with the other ladies as best she can. They're working on it and I understand that they're not a unrsing home so they don't provide the 24 hour care. The activities are fine, she really likes them, especially the music. The menu could use improvement, she's not happy with it but she's always been a fussy eater anyways. It's a two way street: 1. Yes, they do need to improve the menu and I've heard it from other people tto and 2. she is a picky eater. We liked it because it was new, we kind of liked the whole set up and we found out through our research that it was one of the first places in the state of Georgia to have the full memory care license.

The people of A place for Mom are truly GOD's angels on earth. They take you by the hand and guide and lead you every step of the way till you have found the perfect place for your loved one. I am so-o-o glad I made the call and you will be too.

We chose this community because the location is close and convenient for our family. The interior of the community is very clean, bright and does not have the feel of an institution. Provides more of a residential type feel to it. Compared to the other community we were strongly considering, it just felt like Northlake's style was best suited for our loved one. Similar types of color and lighting she used at her home. We are very pleased with Northlake and would recommend it to anyone.

We chose Ashley River Plantation because we just felt it was the best fit for our loved one. Most of the staff is really outgoing and friendly but there is a few that really just aren’t as outgoing. The management is really outgoing and friendly. The therapy is excellent and most of the care managers are really good and you can just tell they have a passion for what they do, although there is a couple that just seemed like they are overwhelmed and seems like this type of jobs isn’t for them. Our loved one usually does not participate in many activities but ever since being here she tries to take part of as many as she can. We are very happy with our choice and would recommend it to anyone.

This is my first experience with a Memory Care Facility and I am satisfied. Marsh View Senior Living was competitively priced and the staff is very friendly.

Staff is very friendly and attentive to the resident and family. Am fairly pleased with the resident's care and would recommend the facility to others. Most of the time, the response to questions and concerns is in a timely manner. However, there has been difficulty getting the medication orders reviewed and corrected. Perhaps because the facility is short staffed? The biggest concern is that a gate in a courtyard does not lock, allowing a resident to leave the facility at night, and staff not being aware of the resident's absence. This doesn't seem like a good elopement policy. The corporate office agreed to install a lock on the gate, but I have not been notified if it has been installed. I'm pleased it is being addressed. Other than that, it has been a good experience for the resident and the family.

I've been very happy with the Oaks at Pooler. All of the staff is friendly and caring. Mom seems happy there, particularly since she was able to move in to quite a large room. 4. Because there's always room for improvement. No place is perfect.
