Oaks Senior Living

We toured this facility while looking into care options for a loved one. The staff here seemed friendly and professional, and the residents looked well taken care of. The facility itself was nice as well, if not quite as well laid out as some others facilities we saw. We toured quite a few places and this was one of the nicest, they are worth a look if you're looking into senior care in the area!

Moved my mom from an Emeritus location in Buford, Ga that was terrible to Cameron Hall. You won't know it was the same woman who was wanting to die to the happy, smiley lady you see today. They residents at Cameron Hall are treated with love and dignity. I can't say enough goof things about the care givers and staff at Cameron Hall. They are fantastic.

I was impressed with this community, the 1 BR was nice, the bldg and setting is lovely, most importantly my first impression of the residents care was that the staff is compassionate.

I visited on Thursday, Sept 18th and was impressed with the community. The 1 BR apartment was very small though.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. I thought this was a very nice looking place, and it looked like they were able to provide good dementia care as well as assisted care. However I didn't like the feel here quite as much as some other communities I had seen, it didn't feel quite as homey.

It's good, it's not the best in the world, but they are good. Some of the newer places have much more amenities, for the same price range. I think they have enough stuff going on, but she isn't able to attend many of them. The food is just average cafeteria food, and sometimes it's okay. I thought they would be a little more helpful with getting her around and to doctors visits, but that hasn't really been the case. They don't have little kitchenette areas. The other thing she had to adjust to no bathtub. She liked the surroundings and felt at home there, it's bright and airy and nicely decorated, and very well kept, and clean, and that's why we picked it.

They’re pretty expensive, but I guess all of them are. The staff is so friendly – that’s the biggest thing that stood out for me and my family. We got to try the food and it was okay. There is enough parking.

My loved one stayed here for a few months, and overall I think it was a nice place. The facility itself was always clean and well kept, and they kept all the residents looking nice as well. They also did a good job with the food. Unfortunately they weren't able to keep as close an eye on my loved one as she needed, and she suffered a few falls, but I think they did the best they could with the amount of people they had.

we have been here for 1 month.so far we like it real well.

They were very nice. They don't have independent cottages. I think that is more what we wanted. They were also more expensive than the community we chose.

This is a strong possibility.

We're very pleased with this community so far! One thing in particular that they do very well is any sort of event where they get the families involved, like their Thanksgiving dinner, or holiday celebrations. They really go all out! It's a great looking place, and they always keep it very clean. The employees are friendly and caring, and they provide the residents with plenty of things to do.

We looked into this community when we were looking into options for our loved one. This was a nice enough looking facility, it was well kept and clean, and the staff seemed friendly. I felt like the decor here was a bit old fashioned looking and out of date. We decided Mom was not at the level where she would need assisted living care, so this was not one of the options we considered in the end.

My Mom has adjusted well to Northake Gardens. While she always maintained a desire to live independently at her home she understands why this is no longer possible and the staff and facilities at Northlake are a big reason for her acceptance.

It is fine, the people are nice. They are doing what they are supposed to. My mother and father both live there, and they are in memory care together. They have a very large room. From my experiences looking at other facilities, it is very difficult to find places that accommodate a husband and wife. They have two full beds and a dresser and a love seat. Right outside their room is the dining room. I have been very pleased with the general care that they have gotten.They get good basic care, and the staff is very respectful of our requests. They handle any issues very quickly. Both of my parents look well. Their skin looks well. The food is very healthy. My entire family recently visited for the first time and they all said that they thought Ashley River Plantation was an excellent facility. I can't say enough positive about the staff who treat my parents as if they were their own parents.

I walk in to Dogwood Forest and it never smells soiled. There is always someone walking around cleaning or doing something. There is always something going on there. That's one of the reasons I liked it. There is a lot of staff that always seems to be on hand and always smiling. I checked around several places and Dogwood Forest is not on the highest end, price-wise, but it's not on the lowest end either. For how long they've been in business and who they have on the staff I think it's a really good value. There have been small things like times where there has needed to be follow up, an appointment, a lab result or something and it falls through the cracks. It's really only been once or twice and I understand these things happen. It's not been a severe problem. There is a board that tells you what's going on for the day. The family gets a monthly activities calender mailed to them and so do the residents. They have anything from bible study to scrabble to exercise. They try to cater to everyone and everything. There is a little bit of something for everyone. It's like an extension of an old southern home with a porch and rocking chairs. The receptionist is so personable. She knows all the residents and she knows me. It's a well oiled machine. When I saw it I felt like we belonged there.

That was very small, but it was nice. I believe it had a fixed price strucutre but it was more expensive. One of the good things we discovered was that there are two types of licenses for these facilities in the state of Georgia and asissted living/memory care is the highest license. I forget the exact term they use but this did not have the right kind of license when we looked.

I think they do a great job. Where they could improve is when certain leaders are not there, like the team leads or whatever they call them, they could have more consistency. That's the only thing I can think of but I do think they're doing a great job and I'm very happy for my dad to be there. They have music and bingo and they do word games.

I had a nice tour when I was there. It's new but it's about a 50 minute drive from my house so it was a little to far away. I needed to find something closer.

This is my [removed] I think they have a very good activities program and they're very conscious of what stimulates an elderly person. One thing that concerned me more is safety issues. My mom fractured her him. I've seen several other people with that same situation. She went to the hospital and the first night she was back she fell again. I've had to hire somebody to be in her room at night. When she broke her hip she was in the dining room and she had parked her walker outside because there wasn't enough room. That's my only issue but it's significant. As far as the activites program, Sweetgrass is the best in the area. They have outings, song fests, picnics, cookouts. They really try to help the people feel a part of the community.
