Phoenix Senior Living

Out of many tours of facilities in the Atlanta area I selected "Atria at Johnson Ferry" for my mother Florence Henderson, I need to move her here from a Memory care facility in Amarillo Texas. She was fragile, both medically and emotionally, at the time of my decision to move her here. I took numerous tours of facilities provided for me by 'A Place For Mom.' Many were certainly acceptable but the moment I entered the lighted chandeliers of Johnson Ferry Atria and spoke with the administrator ,Susan White ,I was certain that was the place for my mother. They coordinated a visit at the Texas facility to evaluate her status. Once all was in place they helped me and supported me in every detail of the move and transition. I particularly appreciated their small, 13 bed memory care unit. I could not discern any difference when I walked into the memory unit from the assisted living unit. The staff was well trained, alert, kind, and respectful both to me, mother, each other, and all the patients. I happened to be there all hours of the night and day for various reasons and no matter what time of day the staff was alert and sensitive to the needs of the community. They were professional from the administrator , nurse, the unit supervisor, to the direct care staff and the maintenance staff. Even when tough decisions needed to be made like hospital admission and finally admission to in -patient hospice where my mother passed, I felt that she indeed had a home here to help me take care of her. I never saw a negative interaction or anything that brought concern about mother's care. Atria not only consistently bright and clean but contains beautiful garden spots for quiet times and activities when you don't want to be quiet or alone. The staff knew their stuff and were wonderful. The only problems that I encountered were surrounding the changing laws in Georgia. Atria helped me to gap those problems by exceptional doctors, especially Dr Figuel, MD Psychiatrist who was exceptional in his medical knowledge of geriatric patients and their needs. It is comforting to know that such a place exists for such a difficult time in my life and the life of my family. I do hope that all those involved in mother's care remember how very much each small act can mean in such a difficult situation.

I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH HOW GREAT MYTLE BEACH MANOR IS FOR MY AUNT AND UNCLE. THE STAFF FROM THE FRONT DESK THE AIDS, DINING ROOM STAFF ARE ALL WONDERFUL. THE FACILITY IS ALWAY CLEAN BRIGHT, LISA, THE NURSE IS ALWAY HELPFUL AND LETS NOT LEAVE OUT THE MAINTENANCE CREW AND KEVIN THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR. ALL COULD NOT BE MORE HELPFUL AND CARING. ..........THANKS MYRTLE BEACH MANOR........

My sister is acclamating nicely. She loves this place. We love it too (her sisters). It is nice, clean, the food is delicious. Service is great too. Everyone is so friendly.

Upon touring many facilities we choose the Summit because of its cleanliness, friendlness. Felt right at home the minute we walked in that when I knew it was the right place for my mom.

Excellent guide (Kevin, the assistant director) Very informative. Rooms bedroom and living room. Very clean. No smells. Menu not as varied, but good food. Older facility and very well kept up. Wide halls a plus. Barely affordable, but could be with VA benefits. TV provided and possible internet connection through Time Warner Cable. Residents pay for internet. Possibility of Dad and Mom staying in the same room. Rehab facility attached.

Very nice place. Lovely facility. Tasteful, well organized spaces. But most of all, incredibly NICE and helpful people who seem to love their work and communicate well among themselves. Such a relief to not worry about my mother anymore. She is in good hands. My only comment would be that it would be nice if there were more activities geared to my mother's personal tastes, but IF we were to communicate this, I'm sure they would respond positively...so it's really a matter of taking the initiative. A very responsive, caring team.

It is expensive but it is what it is. We are getting good value because my dad is doing very well. They could improve on the food. They have pretty good activities, but it would be nice to see a few more for the men. They are more geared towards women. Maybe Sunday football for the guys would be nice, or just something like that.

Excellent facility. I loved the atmosphere. the visit was very exciting. My major concern was cost, though.

Oh my god the place is spotless and they clean my mothers room twice a week. My husband and I keep saying that we want to move there. They're very friendly, very helpful; so nice and so sweet. Everybody knows my name there, everyone knows my mom and my husband. We are greeted everytime we go in there, even if there's no one at the front desk one of the nurses or aids will great us. At frist I thought it was really expensive, but after about a month I realized it was worth every penny. They change my moms bed twice a week, she gets three meals a day and they're very good meals. They have snacks so they're never hungry and they check on her, they're so sweet. She doesn't think twice about anything anymore, she acts like she owns the place, its fabulous. Way better than I hoped it could be. I don't have to worry about her and I know if something happens they're going to call me and I know they're going to take care of her. Anybody who's looking for a place for their mother and loves their mother as much as I love mine would be crazy not to do Southern Plantation. it's lickity split clean, you jsut can't ask for anything better.

From the first time my mom toured the Remington House and saw the apartments they offered she just loved it. I would highly recommend the Remington House to others, they have just been wonderful. Everybody there, including the residents are wonderful. They have taken a load off my mind knowing that my mom is safe and well cared for at the Remington House. Couldn't have found a better place! Also, we are thankful for A Place For Mom's help in our search.

Atria is a little more expensive then other communities we looked at. Our loved one raves about the food here. They change linen once a week. What drew us in is the staff, they were very friendly. They also have a larger population of males here at Atria. We really liked the way it looked esthetically. We looked about 4 other communities and Atria just stood out above the others. We are very happy with them so far.

The food is really good and the service is great! They do have a ton of activities but my loved one choses not to participate.

They have two caregivers who speak spanish. It's my favorite so far.

Very nice facility for dad.

Excellent visit! Director and staff were generous with their time and answered all of our question. Can tell they are "in" to their job in serving their residents. Impressed with the staff at work, all attentive and smiling. Clean and bright describes their facility. Will be hard to top this visit.

Extremely nice

talked with residents. Very favorable Director okay;requestede info Good choice. Spoke w Director while in Pensacola

like the fact that it's small. REALLY liked this one. Too bad they don't have anything available now. PUT ON WAITING LIST.

I have been very pleased. They do a good job with the food. They serve plenty of food, give a good variety and the food is great. They do my laundry, and provide cleaning. They offer weekly activities and frield trips. It's a good location, and good pricing. The satff is easy to work with. It's a good place with a lot of activites. Overall, I would recommend this place.

It was an exceptional tour, just went with one closer to family.
