My Mother lived at the Heritage from 2004-2008. She had been in 2 other assisted living places. When I moved her there, she adjusted to a new "home" very easily making new friends, etc. The staff at that time were the nicest people to work with and always showed her courtesy and becoming some on her best friends. They took care of every need. They always kept in touch with me on how she was doing. I volunteered over there so much of the time Playing the piano for residents to sing and many other musical activities. One of the favorite things they liked was for me to sing and play the "oldies, but goodies" - having a 'sing-a-long'. They don't forget those songs! If I ever have to go to an assisted living place, this would be top on my list. I don't see how anyone could Not like the Heritage! Elaine Cook

We have been very satisfied. Everyone has been nice and attentive there, they have been really good to work with. This is all new to us, and I don't have a lot to compare it to, but I would say they have exceeded my expectations. They took her out to look at Christmas lights, and she has made a friend that she walks with and does activities with. It's gone really well so far.

Mom admitted with hospice care. The communication between facility staff and hospice staff very good. The meals are delicious and residents get nice selection. The personal care is very good. Difficult for me to rate activities since Mom has been unable to participate yet.

My father has lived at Heritage of Brookstone for 5.5 years. He has been well cared for and the staff are extremely kind, understanding, and patient. It is a beautiful facility and well maintained. We are very happy with his care. My mother has recently been diagnosed with dementia and paranoia. It came on very suddenly and I was desperate to find somewhere for her to live. Fortunately, a memory care unit was opened at Heritage during December, just in time for my mother to be moved there. The staff is so very kind and patient with her as she faces this new journey in life. She has actually improved tremendously in the last 3.5 weeks and continues to improve with the nuturing and support that is provided. I am delighted with the care she is receiving.

The staff is great. My only concern is the security. It seems like anybody can walk in and not be questioned. It may be because they recognize me. There is always someone at the front desk but it still concerns me.

I'm in a unique situation in that my mother still resides in her own home (with a caregiver). Where assisted living comes into play is that she does a respite stay for several days every couple of weeks. I found Dogwood Forest of Dunwoody through A Place for Mom, and was impressed as soon as I crossed the threshold. It's well-appointed, lots of quiet places for residents to gather, or just sit and read a book. When I was shown the spacious room Mom would be using, complete with TV and cable (things we'd had to constantly beg for previously), I knew she'd be comfortable there. The biggest surprise is that Mom absolutely LOVES Dogwood Forest of Dunwoody. She loves the people, the environment, the activities and - this has never happened - she loves the food! What I love is that the staff is conscientious and thorough, and her room is always clean and ready for her arrival. Having spent years working with two other assisted living facilities, I have no problem whatsoever giving Dogwood Forest of Dunwoody 5 stars. It is heads and shoulders above the rest.

I thought they did an excellent job overall at Brighton Gardens of Buckhead. The staff here is excellent, and the caregivers really take great care of the residents. My loved one had dementia, and the staff were attentive to his needs and knowledgeable about the condition and how best to work with him.

They have done well with the meals and his care, except they forget to put on his support hose sometimes. Everything is good. I like the people there, they are nice. Most of them are very professional. The cost is very reasonable.

Was very impressed on first visit. Staff was extremely friendly. Very clean and spacious. Mom has been there a week now and she loves it. She lost her husband a month ago so she is still grieving and trying to adjust to all the changes. It was a hard decision for the whole family but we think it was the right one. The food is great and family can eat with resident for a small fee. She is making new friends and learning to be independent again.

My Mother-in-Law has been here for two weeks and so far she loves it and so do we. It is clean. The food is great. it feels like a home. The care seems to be good so far.

So far we're completely satisfied with the care and service at Brighton Gardens, they're doing a good job looking after my loved one. I have heard nothing but good things from my family members.

Mom wanted her own place but she has Alzheimer's and can not live alone. We considered several different options and chose Forest Heights mainly because it was very clean, safe, and because the people who work and live there seem to be happy. The seem to have their act together. We moved Mom there about 2 months ago. Mom loves her new apartment and all of the fun things that she gets to do with other people her age, and to feel like she is living independently from family but still feel safe. The staff there are very nice and are happy to help in any way they can to make her life with them a happy experience. They do a great job!

My mother in law lives here. I think it's a great community, and have had no problems at all. They take really good care of her. They help her with bathing, and dressing, and medications, etc. My mother in law does not necessarily participate in most activities, but they do day trips, and have shuttles to church and bingo. It's less expensive than most, but they are all pretty expensive still.

Everything is fine like it.

My Mom lives at Forest Heights and has now for over a year. This is her third assisted living and this is by far the best one. The staff is great and handles her needs with care and compassion. The CNA's and Med Tech's are family really, and always alert me to anything, or any changes going on with my Mom. The fact that the Forest Heights is pet friendly is huge because I can bring my Mom's dog to her anytime and they can visit. And oh the music! Lots, and Lots of music takes place. The residents sing, and even have their own group called the Foresters. Forest Heights is a first rate place, doing a first class job. I would recommend this Assisted Living/Memory Care Community to anyone!!!

My family and I researched and visited multiple assisted-living facilities in the Winston-Salem area. Forest Heights came out on top: truly personalized care made possible by the small number of residents, clean and aesthetically-pleasing facility, good food (no small thing when one’s life is limited), reasonable all-around pricing and, most importantly, devoted, upbeat and involved staff--from the director to the sales and business managers to the physical therapist, right on down to the CNAs stationed on every floor. While it is never an easy decision to move a loved one into assisted living, at Forest Heights I know that my father will be well known, valued and treated with dignity by all. Staff are exceptionally responsive: they worked hand-in-hand with me and my father, down to the last detail, to make my dad's transition as smooth and stress free as possible. I can pick up the phone or email to inquire about my father and be assured of a response that very day, if not within that very hour. There are valid, important reasons why this facility has been granted the highest ratings by the state’s Department of Health and Human Services. Professionals at FH know what they are doing and are utterly devoted to the seniors they serve. In fact, several staff members mentioned that they consider it an "honor and a blessing" to be serving people who are in the final stage of their life span. For many, working at FH is more than a mere job: it is a calling and a service. You can sense that spirit upon visiting.

Unfortunately my loved one was only able to be here a brief time, but I thought they did a wonderful job. Everyone here was very caring and professional, and the facility itself was clean and well cared for. They are definitely worth a look if you are looking for care in the area.

Both my parents have been in forest heights for over 6 months now,they have been taken care of very well and the nursing the facilty has is excellent, The room they stay in is clean ,quiet and patient friendly. They tell me they enjoy the food ,the hospitality the nurses give them and also the attention they need when they need something.The only thing I do for them is shave my dad when he needs it and buy them depend under garments, liquid soap and any things might use.I would recommend this senior living facility to anyone out there.

My mother has lived at Forest Heights for 9 months. She has some memory problems and the staff is wonderful with her. She is in a wheelchair but she doesn't 't sit in her chair all day. The staff bathe her, get her dressed, and take her to the dining room three times a day. They put her in her lift chair during the day and also help her get into bed for naps. The staff members are very kind to her and patient with her. They call me if they notice something concerning or out of the ordinary. I know my mom is treated well when I'm not there. My mom gets her hair done in the on-site beauty shop each week and it is very affordable. She has had pedicures and manicures done also, and a podiatrist visits the facility regularly. The dining room serves nutritious meals that taste good, and I know because I've eaten there. The dining room staff are so nice and try to please everyone! There's planned activities every day and a wonderful activity staff. They're even able to get my mother to participate sometimes, and that's not easy. The best thing about Forest Heights is the people who work there. They love the residents and truly care about them, and the residents love them back! That's the first thing I noticed when I initially visited before deciding where I wanted my mom to live, and I have never regretted my decision!!

Sparks Inn is a very nice place, overall. They're very attentive to the needs of the residents, and I think they do a great job introducing new people to the community. Our experience so far has been a good one, and I would recommend Sparks Inn to others looking in the area!
