Oaks Senior Living

I recently relocated my mother to this new community in Woodstock. I have been thrilled by the personal attention and concentration on detail provided to my mother. The neighborhood concept provides more intimate watchful oversight for her. Having local ownership allows questions and concerns to be addressed quickly.

My parents were residents at Morningside for nearly one year. I find the staff at Morningside more than caring, skilled and professional. When my dad became ill and required care in the hospital then nursing home, the staff continued to visit him and show genuine concern. After realizing that my dad would not be returning to Morningside because of the seriousness of his health, I moved my mom into my home. Now that my dad has now past (four months ago), I now need care for my mom; more than I can provide. My mom needs to be in a place where she can be around her piers, feel safe and feel loved and I know that that place is Morningside of Conyers. I will be moving her back very soon because I know she will be well taken care of.

Dogwood Forest has been a life saver for me. I was trying to take care of my elderly cousin when her husband died. I visited several facilities in the Cumming area and decided on Dogwood. I got a warm friendly feeling from the staff when I did a tour. The next time I stopped by they remembered my name as well as my 94 year old cousins. She is treated so well and I don't have to worry about her anymore. She is happy and is in really good hands there.

Brandon was a fabulous! Facility was clean and well maintained. Spoke with some of the residence who were happy as can be

Love this place. Beautiful facility and the people are very helpful

My mom is doing very well and have adjusted very well. This is a nice community with kind people. The community looks nice and clean. The staff is good very and caring for my mother very well. She enjoys the activities like bingo and the shopping trips. She seems happy and I am pleased with this community.

It became apparent that Dad needed to live closer. After visiting the Oaks at Post Road, we knew this was the place for Dad. We learned the Hampton location was under construction. Dad liked that facility and contracted for his apartment. Dad was an integral part of a dining group of four; another gentleman and two ladies. Dad looked forward to the sherbet and any kind of chocolate desserts at snack time. He loved to smoke a cigar on the rear patio. Some days he would simply read by the fireplace. The Oaks at Hampton is well situated to offer restaurant trips, day trips, and is centralized for hospitals and treatment facilities. It was well situated for Dad’s visits to the Oakwood VA facility. Dad was a World War II veteran whose service was appreciated and recognized by the Oaks. Each year they encouraged and assisted Dad in attending the annual Veterans Day ceremony. Dad participated with three other veterans from the Oaks in the 2015 Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. Dad passed away in January 2016. During the time he was at the Oaks at Hampton, they were truly part of our family. I relied on them for advice, support and expertise. We encouraged Dad to come to the Oaks; ultimately it was his decision. We agree with Dad’s selection.

My brother-in-law had become very debilitated after an illness and could not safely return home in his weakened state. He was in need of a facility that would support and nurture him back to strength and independence. I spoke with a case manager at the hospital who contacted 'A place for Mom' and put me in touch with Mary Bell who came to the hospital within hours to evaluate his needs. By the end of the day, arrangements had been made to have my brother-in-law transferred to Morningside Assisted Living in Gainesville, GA. I felt particularly comfortable with this choice because they had cared for my father prior to his death some ten years ago. Stepping into Morningside, I was pleased to find many of the same faces and smiles that had helped my dad. The administrative aspect of the transfer was efficient and easy. The nursing staff was attentive to details and ready with suggestions. Setting up physical therapy and wound treatment was seamless. Everyone was kind and friendly. After two weeks, my brother-in-law was walking the halls and ready to go back home. The experience was marvelous for all of us. The assistance of 'A Place for Mom' was invaluable and Morningside was the perfect solution. I recommend both without reservation.

Great staff & great facility!

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. Unfortunately they did not have any openings when we were looking to place our loved one, but this is somewhere I would have considered as an option!

Great facility run by a great staff!

Very friendly staff, especially the dog. Good layout. Wheelchair acc under sinks (not found in a lot of other places). We like Dogwood a lot.

Staff is GREAT!,, Caring, professional, thorough, provide follow-up, all with a smile! Can't ask for any better. These folks could give lessons on how it's to be done, but they probably don't even realize they're doing it. Love it. Thanks

Great place and friendly staff . Even after a couple weeks they are still so friendly and helpful . My moms 88 and she seems to be adjusting well . Thanks dogwood forest . I know mom will be taken care of when I can not be with her all the time . Other residents so nice also she has made new friends .

Our first-time experience with Ashley River Plantation has been first class in every way. Our family member has been staying there for three weeks in respite care so that we full-time caregivers could take a break for a trip. We had a wonderful time because there was no worrying about the level of attention our loved one was enjoying while we were away. Respite care is the only way full-time caregivers can give their best. We come back refreshed and ready to be the very best we can be. Ashley River Plantation is our respite care provider of choice. Thank you!

They are wonderful people there. They are very efficient and caring. The environment is very warm and the employees are just so kind too.

It was a good stay. He did real well with the food. Their personnel were did really well with him. He ended up being more adventuresome than we expected, and got involved in some of the events. The billing went smoothly. We liked the location, which is the reason we chose them.

They're doing some repair on the building. They offered my mother in law counseling. She participates in the activities which include bingo and sing along.

We are very pleased with the care that our mother is getting. All personnel are extremely frinendly and caring. Since coming to this facility, her health has stabilized and improved. It is a comfort to know she is so well cared for and comfortable.

This place has nothing but angels, they have been by our side the whole time. My aunt is close to passing and they have bent over backwards for her and my family and have gone way beyond what they are suppose to do and I have nothing but good things to say about the place. The people are so compassionate and experienced.
