Oaks Senior Living

I rate Dogwood Forest of Fayetteville an A+!

I found Ashley River Plantation through A Place for Mom. I was looking for a residential living situation for my older sister who had begun having some memory issues. She is SO happy living there. The staff is caring, kind, and offers the direction she needs on day-to-day living. She loves it there; so I love it as well. Everyone I've come in contact with has been friendly and very helpful.

Sense of community feel. Casual laid back atmosphere, friendly staff...felt like it would be a good fit. Short drive to home.

I recently moved my step father into this facility. I don't know where to begin to tell you how awesome this place is. I moved my mother and step-father here three years ago in search of a place that would take good care of them. Well for three years I fought for good care of my parents but I always so disappointed. But The Oaks has been so wonderful. So refreshing from the others. They really do care. Everything about that place is great. The staff, the service, activities and food. My step father is doing so much better in this place. It's truly a wonderful place.

My grandmother is in care at this facility currently and I just completed visiting her daily for the past week, including the weekends. The quality of care being provided exceeded my expectations by far and deserves to be recognized. During this time period, I had the pleasure of being able to interact with a cluster of staff at varying levels and performing very different functions. I continued to be impressed with all the staff members I was able to interact with at all levels. I found the nursing staff to be courteous, attentive, and compassionate in terms of the various services they are providing daily to your client population. They have quite a stressful challenge and appear to deal w/ it successfully w/ patience, commitment, and compassion. Not only are the nursing staff responsible for the minute to minute medical care that the clients require , they also have to assist w/ meal activities in a very active manner. In closing, needless to say, I was beyond impressed w/ the quality of care being delivered at this facility; I found the surroundings, the staff, and the quality of care to be exceptional. You all should feel very proud of what you are doing to nurture our elder community.

My mother has lived a Dogwood Forest for three years and the experience has been nothing but positive the whole time. From the very first day, she was made welcome and made comfortable with her new apartment and the routine and staff there. She has special needs resulting from a stroke years ago and the entire staff has taken extra care to make her feel comfortable and welcomed. My mother loves living at Dogwood Forest and she considers it to be "home" now and I am very pleased with our decision to choose Dogwood for her.

I don't have experience with any other communities to compare this to, but so far we have been very pleased with the service from Dogwood Forest of Alpharetta! The staff have all been very cordial and friendly, and seem to take great care of their residents. They are attentive and professional. Whenever I visit it leaves me with a feeling of confidence knowing that my loved one is being well cared for.

They're doing a fabulous job here so far, I'd give them top marks across the board. We've had my loved one in a few different place,s and this is our favorite so far. Dad can be very hard to deal with, but they've handled him well so far. He had very good things to say about the food!

Morningside of Athens is a wonderful place. It is a smaller facility with 40 suites. It is a lot more cheery than other places I visited (not so hospital like or dark and gloomy). The director Teresa is fabulous and did everything in her power to make things acceptable for my mother. I would highly recommend this facility to someone.

I loved Ashley River Plantation as well. Karen was wonderful; she answered all my questions over and above what I expected. The facility was beautiful and I was very impressed. We just made a choice to have Mom closer in proximity to where we will live. We most likely would have chosen Ashley River had it been closer to where we are moving. I highly recommend Ashley River Plantation.

I can't say enough about this great community. The staff is simply wonderful. They have bent over backwards to see to it that my sister is welcomed, involved, cared for and cared about. The communication with and from them is exemplary. If you are looking for a residence for your loved one, you have certainly found it!

The Oaks at Post Road took excellent care of my mom, right up until she passed away. The Staff and caregivers were amazing. They were always there attending to her every need. My only regret is that I didn't place my Mom at The Oaks in the beginning. She was at another facility (Gracemont Assisted Living ), her quality of health went rapidly downhill while at Gracemont, but once she moved to The Oaks she bounced back with the care and love that she received while she resided there. They were such a blessing to her and our family. I would highly reccommend them to anyone. I couldn't have asked for any better care for my mom.

The only problem we have is in the apartment the toilet kept overflowing. So building maintenance could be improved. The activities are good, they go on various field trips. The food could be improved, it's a 2.5. They could have more choices, and the quality could be better. They need more staffing, they are short staffed, they have a high turnover rate. Overall it's pretty good. I like how they are helping her adjust.

We are very happy with them. I'm not sure about the activities, in the memory area, when I ask her what she did that day, she can't tell me what she's done. I know they take them outside, I've been there and seen that. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. They were so over the top eager to help us, they called me back within an hour. We were in a crisis situation, and this made all the difference. Breakfast is the same everyday, but when I go for lunch and dinner, and they seem to have a good variety. If they could cut up the meat on the plates for them, that would be helpful, I think.

I’m very impressed with them. My loved one was only there for a short time. They are very family oriented, very friendly, very responsible. All of the staff engaged with my loved one, but also with all the folks there. They seem to be very bonded the residents. The food was very good. I would use their services again if the need arose.

They really worked with us. They keep it very clean and the staff are all friendly. I feel like the value is there. They do a good job with activities. The food is excellent. I can't think of anything that needs to be improved.

Overall they've done a great job here! The facility itself is always well kept and clean, and they care provided is excellent. The staff are all very friendly, professional, and caring and take great are of the residents. One thing I would like to see them do better is to have more activities specifically for the memory care patients, it seems like they do more sitting around than the lower care residents.

We had an excellent experience with a Place for Mom. The Oaks at Hampton is a beautiful facility with the most friendly staff. We could not be more satisfied.

They are very, very good! We really have no complaints! It is the only one in Ellijay, GA, but it is working out great! Everyone is very nice!

I'd give them 5s across the board, they really do a great job here! It's clean, everyone is friendly, and the services and activities are great. The one place that I could say they could improve would be the meal service. The food is fine, but the service itself can be very slow.
