Claiborne Senior Living

My loved one was previously a resident at Brickmont of John's Creek and the overall experience was poor. The facility was very short staffed and high turnover was a problem. There was very little interaction from staf and the language barrier made a bad impact worse. Based on the experience, I would not recommend Brickmont of John's Creek to others.

I would say if [name removed]is not working there, stay away. Make sure you get the contacts for corporate. A Place for Mom really helped me make a decision.

Facility is very nice and clean. Patient staff is very friendly and helpful. Management/owner of the facility should be ashamed. Nobody has answers to any questions. You are always directed to an email that goes unanswered. The rent is being raised an insane amount and they are not giving the residents nutritious meals. It has gone from great to horrible in the last few months.

There are many improvements that need to be made. There are no activities in memory care. They need to have better communication with the family. I do not recommend Brickmont of Acworth.

My loved one is currently a resident at Brickmont Roswell and overall her experience at this facility has been not great. Staffing is an issue at this facility. The staff is grumbling about being overworked and the turnover is too high. I'm sure getting up to the right amount of staff and getting the right staff is a challenge. Trash removal and assistance with ADLs, there have been periods of time when none of that has happened. Aside from the newness of the facility, there is not much else to recommend. Sadly, I fear that it's that way amongst many places. Also, rent went up without notice as well.

Our biggest complaint would be lack of communication with management, administrative, nursing. There is no one to speak to about anything there as far as housekeeping, activities, medications. Even billing.

We picked this community because of the cleanliness and newness of the facility, along with cost. We had an Unprofessional caretaker, don't send your loved one unless they are very independent.

Only go there if your loved one wanders around and likes to watch TV. I picked this community because of a personal recommendation.

I was previously a resident at Brickmont of Acworth for about one year and my experience at this facility was poor. The administrative staff were non helpful. The menu and food service were both poor. The activities were almost non existent. Ultimately, I decided to relocate to a different facility.

Our family had an in person tour with Brickmont of Acworth and during the tour they said we would have to move our loved one into the community to get our questions answered and then hey raised the price.

Loved one is at Brickmont Johns Creek for several months now. The place is beautiful, well priced and well maintained; however, the care is substandard. They just do not provide the care we are paying for. Laundry does not get done weekly. Management is unresponsive to emails and follow up to complaints. They are supposed to assist with dressing and showers, but when I visit, my loved one has on dirty clothes and denies having had a shower. They loose clothes and clothes of other people show up in the closet. I have been struggling to have my concerns addressed. The caregivers are often seen chatting in the halls, talking on phones or surfing on phones and are ignoring resident calls for assistance - the call alarms go off constantly. I have even pushed emergency call for loved one and it took caregiver 30 minutes to show up. This is not what we are paying for.

Skipped meals and dining rating because food was excellent 5/5, but dining room atmosphere is terrible 1/5. The community sales director is wonderful and energetic. The community is pristine. The food is excellent. The executive director is focused more on the overall look of the facility to the detriment of the residents. The care is administered in a boot camp mentality and the residents are getting yelled at everyday for not being able to help themselves. Sometimes residents have to wait in excess of 2 hours for a caregiver to respond to the call button. My mom was told that her name was on a "list of people we aren't allowed to help." She routinely had to wait over an hour after each meal for the caregivers to completely clean and reset the dining room before someone could assist her in returning to her room. She was miserable and has already moved out of the facility.

[name removed] on the dayshift was wonderful with my loved one. But it got bad on the night shift. They didn't seem to know how or try to divert him when he would get upset. I would rate dayshift staff a 4 and nightshift staff a 1.

Communications are an issue. The services promised are not always available. Based off of our experience, I would not recommend Brickmont of Acworth to others.

The biggest problem our family had was the lack of prompt response time the staff had when our loved one would push her button she when needed assistance.

The senior staff is unresponsive to the needs of the residents. Even though a caretaker was let go for an incident with our loved one, the situation did not improve afterward.

On paper Brickmont Acworth is a great value and show be a good home. In reality there are a lot of issues. Services are sporadic, meals are mishandled and a huge sore spot for the residents. Activities are listed but really non existent. Turnover of residents appears high and my dad is not happy. He is sticking with it right now because the cost is good and he is hoping things will improve. But if not he will be moving.

My mother has lived at The Claiborne for a little over a year now. The floor plans and facility are quite nice as to be expected for a new building. However, the quality of service, ESPECIALLY dining, has consistently declined. I cannot count the number of times the staff in the kitchen has quit, and they are not provided with decent ingredients when they are there. The latest staff quit again yesterday and the solution provided for dinner was to serve Little Caesars pizza. It’s one thing to have to resort to ordering pizza at the rates the residents pay, but even worse to get probably the lowest quality pizza available on top of that. The cleaning service is as inconsistent as the dining and you never know if they will even show up. Residents were promised door front trash pick up at move in and now must carry it to end of hall bins and management tried to make them take it all the way down and out to the dumpster at one point. I am extremely disappointed at the decline of service

At first I fell in love with the community. The location was perfect, and the facility was fantastic. But I was not pleased with how they handled my loved one's behavioral issues upon move-in. And I had to move her out pretty much immediately. Listening to them, I fell for all of it. I think they probably are a great place, but I don't think they can handle certain dementia-related issues. The director was fantastic, as well as the main nurse. But since then I've heard they've had some turnover. They were helpful in finding a place for my loved one to go, but they just couldn't handle her needs.

Due to the covid restrictions we were not able to get inside the community to see how clean it was but the exterior was very clean. They also still put in a really good effort to keep the activities going which was nice, our only problem we ran into is that in the beginning they did not assess our loved one correctly.
