The Parkside Group

My wife and I were in a tough situation near the end of [date removed]. We were needing to find a facility for my mother in law, because her disease had progressed to a point where she had to be in a memory care facility. As we began our investigation of different options, it became apparent that there are several facilities providing average/below average care, while still charging astronomical prices. We spoke with family, friends and people in the industry and were able to compile a list of 8-10 places to evaluate. The first place we visited was Peachtree Creek. The director of the facility, [name removed], came out to meet us for our meeting. As we spoke with [name removed], it was clear that he is passionate about his job. As we listened to the things he said, my thought was that this sounds to good to be true. The thing that stood out to me the most was the stories he shared of current residents and how he interacts with them. There are so many places where the person in charge is simply managing the staff but is not doing much more. [Name removed] does not work that way! As he took us on a tour of the building, the stories he shared began to come to life. His interaction with each person was really the icing on the cake! After the interview/tour, both my wife and I were confident that we had found the home for her mother. Normally, there is a lot of red tape that makes it difficult to move a patient from one place to another. [Name removed] and his team totally took the lead and we were able to have her moved with little to no stress for us. I just want to send out a BIG “thank you” to [name removed] and his staff! [Name removed] is a true professional and he’s made Peachtree Creek a home for not only his residents, but the families, too!!

We are really liking that care at this community for my and my husband. The staff are excellent and really care about hear your needs. We like the menu of great meals. The activities are offered for when we want to participate. We are happy here and would recommend this community.

My mother-in-law is a resident here. She's getting involved in activities. She's playing BINGO and they took her to see the ballet last week. The food is something they've missed. When you're used to home cooking it's not going to be the same.I think the thing that impressed me the most is how they welcome new residents. They get them involved and make sure they know what is going on even if it's posted everywhere. We also liked that the entire building is locked. My mother has dementia and it gives me peace of mind that if she decides to wander she can explore and won't get out. The only place she can go outside is to the garden which she hasn't been able to utilize because the weather hasn't been that nice. I also liked that when I toured everything was so nice. The building is older but they keep it in very good repair.

The staff here is doing the best that they can with mom. Things have changed very quickly. They are keeping mom's room and community clean for her. They do have a lot to do for the residents that I like. I also like that they are close to us.

My mother lived at Peachtree Creek for over two years before her death from the side effects of dementia. I really don't know how we can adequately thank the wonderful staff at Peachtree for all their consistent loving, compassionate care over the course of those years. Peachtree Creek is a very well-run facility with an eye toward the needs of each individual. We, as family members, were made to feel extremely welcome each and every time we visited (that was daily). Her needs -- whether medical or personal -- were met with great care. We view our dear friends at Peachtree as just that -- friends AND family. We would highly recommend this wonderful facility to anyone who needs this special care. They are extraordinary.

Everyone is so caring and helpful. Do not know what I would do without these people. Thank you!

My parents are doing very well here at this community. It is still a transitional period for them, but overall I know they are in good hands. My parents have made little improvements since moving here. The staff is good, and they have been helpful and kind. There are activities offered for them when they are ready to participate. I know they are being cared for very well. Everything has worked out well for us, and I would recommend this community.

Everything has been going terrific here. My loved one is doing as many activities as she can do. They have so much going on here. The food is good, but it could be better with the variety. The community is always kept clean and neat. I would recommend them.

I am so happy to write this review. Morningside has been a serious blessing to me. My mom lost my dad 2 years ago and then my sister 6 mo ago. That all being said, it is just me now taking care of my 90 year old mother. Roselyn, Bonnie, Juanita, Diane and all the others have made this transition great for my mom and myself. The food is excellent, the care is genuine and they listen. This is a must for me. Thank you guys at Morningside for being so......wonderful and caring.

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

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.

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.

I love this community! It is truly simple living. The pace of this community is very conducive to my moms needs. The care team is always on point. The activities are good. I wish they had a bus to take residents out in a group.

The Morningside Of Conyers facility is very nice. It has nice rooms. The staff is pretty nice. The only thing about the kitchen is they only know how to fix certain things. The Italian cook only cooks the eggs one way. I would like them sunny side up but they only offer scrambled. Everything is fine. They take you out on outings.

They do a fantastic job at Morningside of Conyers, I'd give them 20 out of 5 if I could, they're off the scale! The people here are so friendly and so caring, they took wonderful care of my loved one while she was here. The facility itself is lovely, and the people are friendly and professional, I can't recommend them highly enough!

This is the perfect community for my father since it feels like home rather than an institution. All staff and residents know each other personally and my dad loves that everyone knows his name. He is loved and cared for beyond measure and he repeatedly says what a wonderful place it is to live. Thank you Dogwood for loving and involving my dad.

Love love love this place. My mom has been so happy and loved there. The staff is amazing. I would highly recommend it!!!
