Phoenix Senior Living

The staff here has been great to me and my loved one. They are doing a good job with trying to help her transition. They do offer plenty of activities for the residents to participate in. The community is clean except for the stains that they have in the hallway. The food can use some improvement.

I took a tour of this community and felt that it was a little older than I would like for my loved one. The staff was helpful and really nice. The community was clean though and kept up. I would recommend this place to family's.

I would like to see, especially when a resident is new to a place, staff keeping an eye out and seeing that they are getting around okay and aren't getting lost. She has had a rough time learning her way around. We have had some issues with housekeeping and the thoroughness of the laundry. There have been some issues and confusion with billing, and timing of days, and charges. There have been minor falls, and no record of the incident. It's in a convenient location for our family, and we also think it's important not to make too many changes for our loved one, so we will continue to work with them, however there are some things that definitely need work.

This was probably one of my least favorite communities that I visited. The layout was a bit awkward and the staff didn't seem as engaged as the other communities. They were also offering some pretty large incentives which makes me wonder why they need to do this.

In general I think they do a good job at Morningside of Riverchase. The facility itself is clean, and the staff are friendly. Considering they are a fairly newly opened facility, they have some issues to work through. More activities should be planned for the residents, such as organized shopping day trips.

We've had somewhat of a mixed experience at Atria Buckhead so far. The week after my loved one moved in they had to place the facility on a lockdown to prevent the spread of a flu, which unfortunately did not make for a good first impression for my loved one. But the staff have been very accommodating, and have worked hard with me to try and win her over after that experience.

My parents lived there. The air conditioner was broken in the entry hall and the hall on which they lived from April till September, 2014. It was over 90 degrees and horrible working conditions for the employees and receptionist. We could not go sit in the front community area because of the heat when we visited. I asked numerous times about the AC and they kept saying they were getting it fixed - finally in September. That was 5 months of unbearable heat. I would not recommend this facility. The food is bad too. I regret not reporting them to the health department.

Visited. Where were residents? Hotel-lobby-ish .

Smaller facility with only studio apartments; not what we are looking for at this time but we liked what we saw in the memory care unit and would definitely consider this should Mom's condition deteriorate where she needs this level of care.

This was a facility we toured when we were looking into options for my loved one. This was one of the facilities we were seriously considering, and was our second choice. It was a very nice looking community, and the residents looked well cared for. It didn't have as many amenities and activities as the other option we were considering, and during our tour it just didn't feel quite as friendly.

It was nice but, very pricey. We were paying a lot extra for her care, but she was unkempt and they were not taking her to the bathroom often enough. Her clothes were dirty and they never washed them on time. There was a lot of turnover. The way they assessed the monthly fees were so complicated, I couldn't tell what the charges were for. If your people are able to care for themselves I give them a four, but if they need personal care assistance I would give them a two.

The one thing that stood out to me about this place was that they had shared bathrooms and I didn't like that

The halls were narrow and I didn't think the facility itself was as pleasant. I think, and I'm not sure, but I think their dementia patents might have been in the same building, a different area, but the same building as the assisted living and I didn't like that.

My mother was there for 5 years. The first two years it was really good and it just went downhill after that. There were 3 or 4 different owners and after the first on it was not good. My mother went without hot water in her room for 6 months. The were friendly but by the time were were moving my mother out it was not clean. Actually, her room was filthy when we moved her out. The new nurse there is pretty ignorant. The staff are told to speak only to the POA about the care. When I went in there to ask questions they wouldn't tell me anything. They said I had to call my brother. Another thing they did was serve them ice cream after every meal and my mother is diabetic!

Older facility. Built in 1994. Reminds me of a hotel or college dorm. Could use a paint job and new carpet. Rooms are rooming.

Quite big. Might be overwhelming.

This was a very clean place and the clients are a little older here but they have lots of activies.

This would be a good place for just my Dad. I think Mom is too independent to enjoy this type of atmosphere. It was lovely and a very nice atmosphere, but the level of care far exceeded what my mother needs. The accomodations were small for her.

This facility IS NOT an assisted living facility but they will say they provide assisted living. Make sure you are educated in the difference between a personal care home (which is what they are and put themselves out to be) and an assisted living facility, at least in Georgia, so your expectations are realistic. The difference significantly impacts the required staff qualifications and accountability. The following website can provide good, unbiased information that might help guide you in making the right decision. It is important you know what you are getting for your money and your loved one.

There were some problems with medication. I would encourage people with loved ones moving into any community to give it a couple of months. There is such a shock and adjustment that even if they hate it at the beginning, just wait it out. The caregivers and the kitchen staff and the cooks were good they did a fine job. We had issues with the director and the administrator. It was clean and beautiful though.
