Memory Care
We moved our dad here in January of this year. I have been so happy with the quality of care and cleanliness. All of the other families of the residents that I’ve met are all so kind. The food is excellent as well! I highly recommend Cumming Nursing Center for your loved one.
My loved one is a resident at The Phoenix at Lake Lanier. The food is good. Communication with the family is good. The staff has been somewhat of a revolving door as with most places these days, but overall I do think that they are trying. The only issue that I have is the cost, it's very expensive. Overall, I would recommend this facility to family and friends.
After looking all over the place for substantial senior living for my mom, i was severely disappointed by most places in that they offered low monthly Apartment rates but the Level of care rates skyrocketed. Also they were being run by tyrants that wouldn't budge on Pricing or room type selection. Once i came to tour and eventually place my mom at this location, i found that she flourished and i could not beat the pricing structure. The new management was so knowledgeable about the community and in being attentive to our needs. Price, Location, Staff, Appearance, and activities were all 5 star in my slightly slanted opinion ( My mom lived there!) If you can go check this place out, Just call and check it out!
