From the first moment I walked into the community until I left with a warm box of cookies my visit couldn't have been better. Everyone was friendly and happy. I met a number of the staff members and folks that live there. Everyone smiled, said hello and welcomed me like family. All of my questions were answered and the place looked great and smelled good. When it is time for my mom to move this will be the place. Thank you!

When it came time to put our mother in a place where she would get the care that we could no longer provide, we spent a lot of time searching for the perfect place. We realized no place is perfect but based on what we had heard about The Residence we felt confident our mom would do well there. It's been about 18 months and we continue to pleased with everything about this place. The staff are friendly and more importantly, they are attentive. Unlike some places where you often times see residents hanging out in wheel chairs in various places just sitting them by themselves, The Residence always has the residents people engaged in activities. They offer good programs that keep everyone engaged which is great. Also, we learned recently that there had been a large renovation done to the facilities not too before we moved our mom in. It is such a nice place.

We needed a place for my mother and we have been touring multiple facilities in the area. The Residence at Great Woods was our favorite. Everyone from the Executive Director to the nursing staff and the restaurant were so friendly, warm and welcoming. This will definitely be our choice soon!

Having family members staying at this facility opened my eyes to how much care and assistance the staff treats family as their own. The staff has always been easy to talk to and approachable willing to talk about issues or concerns and give their best foot forward. Having a family member there has me assured that there is no better place for loved ones to be cared for and given their best time.

My loved one is currently a resident at The Residence at Great Woods and everything at this facility has been very good for her so far. The staff are very nice, though communication with the family is lacking at times. The food is good, however it arrives cold at times. Overall, my loved one is happy at this facility. I would recommend The Residence at Great Woods to family and friends.

We took a tour of The Residence at Great Woods during our search for an Assisted Living facility for our loved one. This facility was great! The cleanliness and friendliness was great. Definitely one of our top choices.
From the moment we visited Great Woods we knew this was THE "home" we wanted for our wonderful Aunt. This beautiful woman gave us all so much throughout her entire life and now she needed special love & care. We want the BEST for her - and we found it at Great Woods. The facility is incredible: totally designed for the physical and psychological health and care of each person. The private "apartment " is beautiful and well cared for. We have been allowed to make it "home" for our Aunt with family pictures anher own furnishings - which have helped her make a positive transition.The programs that are offered daily are amazing! From music, exercise & dance to special Holiday celebrations- which allows "Aunt" to interact with many others. But to me, the most VALUABLE asset of Great Woods is the Staff. Each & every one of these amazing people are so caring and knowledgeable in what they do. Any facility can be "beautiful", but it is the Staff that make Great Woods the highestquality

September 27, 2023Thank you for your kind words! Your review means so much to us all at the community.
My in-laws had moved in to Great Woods residences respite section from the Stste of Georgia due to my mother in law s cancer diagnosis to be closer to family u til the end. From the first move in day the staff was amazing catering to their every need helping move them and meet the staff . Over the course of the nearly 3 month stay from the kitchen to the care assistants the staff made them feel welcome and comfortable in what was a very stressful time for both . Both constantly commended the staffs actions and work ethic going above and beyond Daily which for them speaks volumes as my in laws are old school and hard to please . In closing I was more than impressed and pleased with the service we received as is our entire family and would definitely recommend The Residence of Great Woods should your family need that special caring assistance.

May 15, 2023Thank you for the five-star review, Christopher! It is wonderful to hear about the experience and interactions you've had at Great Woods.
Wonderful. Caring. Warm. Food was fair but all else was great. Excellent! Great care. They have a great kitchen area, that is big, clean, and updated. Absolutely would recommend. Love all the aides, nurses, management. I had previously had my loved one in a place in Florida that was cold, messy, unfriendly so this was wonderful to see how these peoples cared for the residents

April 18, 2023Thank you for the kind words! We are so happy to see your review.
We chose The Residence at Great Woods over other facilities we looked at because the apartments are new, the facility itself is spacious with lots of light, also they have a nice outside area for the reelection's neighborhood. What has stuck out about them the most is the staff, they are all very friendly and caring.
