Vitality Living

Appletree Court is exactly what I had hoped it to be – a great place for my parents. We first moved my mother and father into a senior living apartment complex, which was wonderful, but without a food plan or organized activities, my mother was lonely. Two years later, when we moved them into Appletree Court, my father’s health was quickly declining. I really wish we would have moved them into Appletree Court earlier, where my father could have enjoyed his time there and the staff and residents could have enjoyed him also. The staff at Appletree Court has been absolutely wonderful both before and after my father passed. They take great care of my mother and she loves the activities, especially bingo! My mother is currently in a 2-bedroom unit which she loves, but will be moving to a smaller unit now that my father has passed. The facilities are very clean. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They encourage my mother to take part in activities and learned her name as well as ours very quickly. The activities are great, every afternoon there is something going on, bingo, musicians and chair exercises among others. There is nothing to say negative about this place! If you are looking for a great, clean, friendly place for you parent(s), this is the place!

We liked everything about this community. No golf carts allowed.

My husband and I were first introduced to Appletree Court as volunteers 13 years ago. Because of its efficient operation and caring staff, it was the place we turned to help us with my husband's Mother. She has thrived with all the personal attention, beautiful surroundings, delicious food, and fun activities/entertainment. We are so appreciative of the excellent care and service we have all received.

My mother has been a resident for over 3 months and our family couldn't be happier. The staff is incredible, the rooms are very nice and mom has really enjoyed the food. There is a wide variety of excellent activities which keeps her very busy. We checked out a dozen facilities before choosing Appletree Court and they far out shine the others. Because she is eating regularly, having her medications regulated and socializing daily, she has gone back to her joyful, friendly, peaceful self. The staff is genuinely happy and truly cares as is evident with their numerous long-term employees. Our family couldn't be happier.

Brickmont cannot accommodate spoon feeding my parents. According to Brickmont, the state of GA does requires the resident to be able to feed themselves and ambulate upon entrance. Due to the age in place rule, if a person physically declines and can no longer ambulate or feed themselves, the facility must accommodate there changing needs.

Brickmont has been a fantastic place for my mother, she seems truly happy and engaged. The staff has been incredibly welcoming and helpful towards me and her. Overall I have been extremely satisfied with my experience!

Truly a wonderful place, from the people to the facilities. They have taken such good care of my mother, I couldn't be happier!!

I am happy to call Appletree Court my new home! That was a concern of mine as I considered options after selling my home of 50 years! The decision was made with very positive supporting evidence of a responsive staff; a well maintained facility; quality food service; a outstanding and dedicated management team; an array of activities from which to choose! Calling Appletree Court "home" was made easier as my apartment decor reflected my personality! I am in my new home and pleased with my choice! Although I have been here for only four months I have been actively involved in activities including Bridge, bingo, transportation to doctors appointments, social events and entertainment. Both caregivers and management team have been responsive to my requests. Each day reinforces my decision to make Appletree Court my new home.

Beautiful place, very friendly staff and residents.

Beautiful place, very friendly staff and residents.

I did the tour and this place is beautiful!! It's well above our price range but if money wasn't a factor I would love for my grandparents to stay here.

We were very pleased with our tour, the staff could not have been more informative and helpful. They took their time giving us their undivided attention. [Removed] was most helpful with the information regarding my father's VA Benefits.

Preferred facility. We went back the following day unannounced and were greeted warmly. Really like the people and the residents we met. We can see Dad thriving in this facility.

My mom first entered Atria on the independent side in a beautiful apartment that she enjoyed for a few months after my dad passed and she chose not to live alone. We soon realized that moving to the Life Guidance side because of her beginning Alzheimer's was going to be a more suitable placement. She has been there for three months now and I am so delighted to say that she has adjusted wonderfully. Because of the outstanding care and attention she is given she is no longer fearful and feeling alone even though with the push of a button on her wrist she could have had the attention she was requesting. Life guidance gives herthe chance to have constant supervision and a program which keeps her physically and mentally stimulated on a daily basis. I want to add also that all my minor concerns were met with immediate attention and I have always felt comfortable to address anything with anyone involved. So thankful that we decided to make this move as it's a wonderful feeling when you know your loved one is being cared for at a level above what you were expecting. Thank you to ALL involved to make this program what it is!

I visited several assisted living facilities before selecting Aspen Village for my mother. Some cost less and some more. However, from the time I enter Aspen Village I could see the difference. The staff is super friendly and attentive to residents. You can find fancier places but in my experience you won't find better care. I find it to be very clean and the food is excellent, I have eaten there. My mother has had to transfer to memory care and Aspen took care of everything to move her from assisted living to memory care, I didn't have to do anything. I feel she is receiving excellent care. I have dropped in at many different times and have always found professional and friendly staff every time. If I were to need assisted living I could move there.

Everything was very nice but they did not have licensing to aid with father in law’s oxygen.

The staff are very kind and supportive. Really go out of their way to assist. The facility is very clean and welcoming. The dinners / food on the other hand is terrible. Really wish they could improve in this area.

As we enter into this week of Thanksgiving, I sit here and think of how thankful I am that my family and I were lead to Aspen Village at Lost Mountain one year ago. That year was full of heartbreaking, difficult decisions as it became apparent that my parents could no longer thrive independently. Being an only child, this was probably the most difficult experience I have encountered. While I could sit here and focus on the rapid decline of their health, and the challenges that came with it, I am most thankful that God was so Faithful in protecting them as He led us to [Removed] at Aspen Village. There is joy in every moment; sometimes we have to look a little closer to see it. When turning my attention to the blessings, I see how hard the Aspen staff works to provide not only for the basic needs of the residents, but to create an environment of love and exciting opportunities (ie. outings such as the apple orchard in North Georgia, the Yellow Daisy Festival at Stone Mountain, and weekly trips to Walmart; they have special events such as a circus, car show, craft classes, flower arranging, Christmas Parties, Thanksgiving Feasts, and Ice Cream at 3:00pm every Sunday to name a few—the activity calendar is ALWAYS full) The business of assisted living is a growing business. It seems as if new constructions begin daily and they all offer the promise of care with similar price ranges. However, not one could offer the most priceless gift of love that we have experienced from the Aspen Family. While no family is perfect, this family loves like no other. When minor issues arise, they are readily available to address the concern. I personally, have experienced this love and felt the love extended to my parents. Transition to assisted living is no easy matter for some. My parents were hard working and enjoyed living life to the fullest. I can't imagine how losing one's independence must feel, but I know that was hard for them. In December of last year, my father's health declined as he had a re-occurrence of cancer. He transitioned to Hospice which was very difficult for us. [Removed] and the staff were there to comfort my mom and me at every turn. The last week of January was most difficult as he transitioned to the final stages. I moved in to their apartment to be with my family during those last four days. The staff loved us through this time. Providing room service to me and mom and a spread of food on the table for visitors was only a sampling of how they provided an outpouring of love to us. Some staff members even came to sit with us at the end of their shift. Dad passed on February 3rd of this year. Having awakened next to the man of her dreams for 66 years, this has been and continues to be very difficult for my mom. The angels of Aspen Village provide for her needs, but even greater than that, love her. As a matter of fact, one of her caregivers is out for a short time due to a medical procedure required for her. She came by Sunday afternoon to visit mom. I just happened to be visiting at the same time and was blessed to see her. I am an educator by profession. I once had a principal to tell me that education is not a career, it is a life. I think the same is true for caregivers. I thank my Heavenly Father above for His servants at Aspen. They are truly answering His call to love.

Very good experience. I improved physically and emotionally. Good food. Good activities (very well planned). Good therapist. Nurses and aides very good.
