Atlas Senior Living

A beautiful community with excellent staff. the Director was especially helpful, a true professional!

like this a lot, very close to my home We are going on a tour and having lunch on Monday, 21st with my dad and sister. They monitor medications

Had we decided to use a facility in Macon, this would have been it. Outstanding facility & staff for memory care.

I toured Legacy Ridge at Buckhead and our tour experience was wonderful. Our tour guide was absolutely wonderful; she was knowledgeable and friendly. She followed up without being too much pushy, but was helpful. Legacy is very small and it's exclusively assisted living. The best solution they could have had for my parents to stay together is to have two apartments and cut out a door between the two. There are no full kitchens in assisted, rather a kitchenette and my mom is still cooking. It was very clean. Everyone there knew each other and the staff new the names of residents as we went through. It just wasn't for us. Their model of living wasn't a good fit. Even if they tried to make it work, it'd be extremely small and it's located on a really busy road.

The only reason I didn't give an overall rating of 5 is the facility is brand new, and there have been some growing pains getting their standard operating procedure in place, but that's to be expected. Everything was very upfront, with the exception of some details in the pricing that I wasn't made aware of until I signed the contract. But other than that, I've been pleased with everything and how upfront they were. The staff are all very friendly and seem very concerned about both my parents. And they call me whenever there's any kind of hiccup.

Our tour at Madison Crossings was really good. We liked the look of the facility. It seemed a little less personal as far as the care went. Also, they hadn't fully opened yet.

We had a great tour experience with Lake Howard Heights. The facility was very clean and the staff were all kind and friendly. The reason we did not choose this facility was because it is not set up for memory care, there is no locked unit. If you need memory care it is not the place, but otherwise it looked to be a very nice facility.

The community is too high priced, and the price per month most likely will be going up. The community makes the residents pay for care even though the residents may not need the care, as they are able to dispense their own medication or able to dress or bathe themselves. The housekeeper is very friendly with the residents. The apartment, utilities, housekeeping, all the meals, transportation, laundry, and changing of linens is included in the monthly fee.

my loved one is doing well so far at Lake Howard Heights. the quality of the building is great, it's uniquely polished. it seems like they've gone above and beyond to make it feel and look modern. I really like their approach to the people who live there. they try to connect light personalities to similar people, and so forth. they don't just clump everyone together with hopes that they will figure it out. they really go the extra mile to put those with similar personalities together. they also have a good amount of weekly entertainment, which allows sociability. they try to get the residents to connect with one another, rather than the employees doing most of the interacting. they make it to where you are meant to find a true connection with others vs sitting in a room all day. it's not all medical, physical therapy or occupational therapy - they try to make you feel at home. usually in group settings, it seems almost "too" medical. most communities are ran by the employees and they expect the people to follow suit. at Lake Howard, they create a sense of community so that you feel like your own person. I also like how they present dinner. there are cloth dinner napkins at every meal and the meals themselves are very unique. there's a great dietitian on site who provides good nutrition. they have better cooking than most families.

I would tell others that the community is clean, and the staff is nice. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. My loved one's stay was short and the staff is very friendly. The staff was great to work with. The community called to check on my loved one after their stay.

Depending on the level of care that your loved one needs this may not be the place. If there is a high need for care and you have a loved one who has illnesses be cautious this might not be the community. They do have a lot of activities however, my loved one does not participate in the activities. Things started off ruff but they have changed and begun to settle.

This has worked out well for my loved one. The staff are good. I would be mindful of your loved one is eating their meals or other options for food, and make sure that the staff is still caring for your loved one. Overall, I would recommend the community and still be an advocate for your loved one. There hasn't been fresh fruit that I've seen for meals. A lot of the meals are rice based with hard to chew meats, and the breakfast seems to be the same. This is one area that could be improved on.

I went to a meeting from when the company changed over and there were a lot of complaints but they were not valid complaints. My loved one has been here for two years and she does not have bruises and she is being treated right. The people here are nice and that is really important. The prices are reasonable and we like it for our loved one. They have basic good food just like you would make at home and it is good.

Overall, we've had a very good experience. My only concern is that staff turnover seems high, which can be hard in memory care because changes in the daily lives of those with dementia can be difficult to manage. I feel like with staff inconsistency, the staff can't be aware of all the ins and outs of each resident's needs. It's not insurmountable - they just have to start over from scratch with new employees. And overall they're doing a good job. For the most part, the staff that are there are good. My loved one seems happy with the food. But I would say activities are limited/non-existent due to Covid.

The staff members would be a 10 plus, and the care services are excellent. I have been able to eat some meals there and the food is very good. The activities are awesome, and the staff members are so interactive with the residents. The first thing that stood out to us was how well they treated our loved one.

They have handled any issues well and the communication between the staff and our family was very good. The community had plenty of space for our loved one to roam and that was very important because he was a very active person. I would recommend this community to others.

The food is very good in this community, and the community is in a convenient part of town. The grounds are well maintained and very neat and clean. The communications between the staff and the family are very good and they keep us well informed. I would recommend this community to others

The cleanliness of the community would be a 10 out of 10, we have never smelled any fowl smells and the residents are always clean. The residents and building itself are well maintained. They do an excellent job with the activities, and they recently hired a new activities coordinator. They have acitvities in the morning and afternoons, they also have a podiatrist and a hair stylist come in. Our loved one is extremely happy.

If you need independent living there is no medical care like in assisted living. The rooms were small but there were other options with the room sizes. I would recommend this facility to others, they seemed to have a good covid plan in place

Visited this property to look for an alternative living place for my 90 YO Mother. The facility is beautiful, clean, smells good, and [name removed] (Advisor) is very friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, as Mom declines this facility will quickly become too expensive and they do not accept Medicaid, (which may be why the facility was so lovely.) It is very reasonable, as Assisted Living goes, but they need more wheelchair specific rooms, in my opinion. The "start up fees" were kinda like an apartment rental deposit - $2000 and $800 for the electric wheelchair because of the repair/damage they cause. I don't have a comparison, but it is an expense I wasn't aware of when we started price shopping. Overall a nice facility if you are looking for a place you wouldn't hesitate to leave a loved one.
