Excellent experience

Our cousin has been there 6 weeks and the change has been dramatic. Prior 3 months she refused to get dressed, refused PT and had little interaction with others. Today she is participating in group activities, attends dining room for meals 3 x’s a day, and has become concerned about taking care of physical appearance. She is now able to help with transitions from wheelchair and we look forward to her strength continuing to improve. They have provided amazing care, attention and respect. Very happy with decision to place her here.

My mother's big move. Dynwoody is the place

I like the activities that I see and the people going on. Even the residents are very friendly. The staff is extremely friendly. So far, so good and the financing or the prices are really good to get you. In they've been the most reasonable. I've looked at over 20 assisted living places for my mom and I kept coming back here. The place is extra clean and when I started looking, they've done some painting. And fixing up and they're constantly renovating and remodeling units, and so on. I don't have any complaints about That facility at all at this time

Excellent location in Dunwoody

My mom has a 1 bedroom apartment. It's a nice space on the second floor. The staff seem very nice. Her biggest complaint is with the food and the dining room. She rarely likes what is served, says that everyone often waits for long periods of time for their beverages, the food is not as listed on the menu and that there is continual turnover of kitchen staff.

As I see it

Facility is generally clean and cheerful looking. Some staff are great (call me for comments), some not so much. My apartment is very nice, a real pleasure. Dining room has been without a chef (hence no real leadership) for some time now. One wonders at the continued failure to pull the situation together

Dunwoody Place review

Very well maintained, clean & safe for a 95- yr old. Some are lively & friendly. Some are moody. Good care, but not always predictable. Have to repeatedly ask for some services, like help with hair/nails, linens. Excellent food. Not sure what activities are available. [name removed] can't see to read & needs to be told /taken to activities which rarely happens so she sits alone , bored. We have hired extra help for this. Convenient for us & she is safe, managed

Review for Dunwoody Place

There is a tendency there to disempower the residents. The assumption seems to be that newcomers are not capable of making sound decisions.The food is very over-salted and also seems to increase incontinence.

Dunwoody Place review

The overall experience has been good, but small population and my mother felt like outsider because the eating groups had been formed. The cleanliness is good, but washing machine in my mother's floor was. It working so had to walk the steps to do laundry. The friendliness of the staff is good as well as the quality of care. My mother says the meals are just mediocre. I wish the activities director had reached out to her more. Having regularly scheduled movies would have been appreciated because that shared room meant others would be there or know how to operate the equipment and my mother did not know how to do that. It was less expensive than [community name removed] and appreciated that. Also the method of assessing cost felt fair. At [community name removed] assessment felt very arbitrary and high. Much more transparent at Dunwoody. Place. Also that care was delivered as needed and wanted rather than forced was very much appreciated. Also staff was supportive when my mother was on hospice and died. They would come help me change my mother. Once they helped wash the sheets for me when They saw I was looking for a working washing machine. The person in charge of Dunwoody was lovely and very understanding

There are many positives at Dunwoody Place for my mom. Because mom needs more attention than average residents here I wish the care was more proactive.

Would definitely recommend this community

Staff are wonderful & caring. Facility is clean. They could do a better job easing new residents & family in. Very little orientation & old people don't just jump in & GO! I would DEFINITELY recommend! In the long run, the care for residents is MORE important than the lavk of orientation & hand-holding at the beginning, a few more activities would be nice! This is our third experience with Assisted Living. They get a A-!! Emphasized the warm care by staff

Experience at Dunwoody Place

My mother, at 102 years old, had a difficult transition. In her short time at Dunwoody Place, she was aware of the groups that had formed and was fortunate to find an Asian couple that accepted her, but otherwise felt isolated. The staff were supportive of her when she made her needs known. They were kind and supportive of her and me when I was helping her when she went on hospice during her final days of life. The staff was willing to forgive the extra weeks of money that was due by contract after she died, which I appreciated. My mother did not live to collect her free month of care that was part of the signing bonus. Because of her age, activities were nothing that she wished to engage in. Part of the time she was there, the movies were not working and the other times required an expertise with technology that she was not capable of. The personal care model that Dunwoody offered worked well for her. She could get the care that she needed and did not have to pay the huge fees for care that she did not need that were being levied at other senior care centers. Most importantly, my mother was treated with dignity and respect for her capabilities and her needs.

Dunwoody Place Review

Overall, Dunwody Place is a good facility. They have a good physical therapy group that comes on site. The staff at Dunwoody place are friendly and helpful. I do think that the meals could be improved. If a person does not want the meal they have the option to order hamburger, hotdog, grilled cheese etc. I have been informed that sometimes it is difficult to execute the other options. Could be they are understaffed?
