10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Ducktown, GA

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 husband has been at Pacifica about a month. He has Parkinson's Dementia. This includes a major change in personality making it impossible for me to keep him at home. He can turn from a sweet helpful man to a raging angry man in a matter of seconds. Sometimes, even I don't see the transition beginning. The folks at Pacifica have created a calm, structured environment which has served him very well. He is now usually calm and the staff say he is helpful and concerned for other residents. Usually a bit of a loner, he is participating in the exercises, encouraging other residents to do the same. He has plenty of room to roam. The staff learned who he is very quickly. He is well treated and that tends to keep him from venting his anger as much. Pacifica is kept clean, the main center rooms have lots of sunlight, residents can and do wander from one open center room to the next, always in view of the care givers and nurse. They can lie on one of the couches, watch either of the 2 televisions, at each of the end rooms. They can do krafts or play games. Exercise times and mid afternoon snacks. Water is always available. Every evening there is a planned activity, whether movies with popcorn or games. Much more good stuff to say, but I tend to go on and no one wants to read all of this. I hate that I can't keep him at home among familiar things, but I feel he is getting top quality care and caring by the staff at Pacifica.

We've had a very positive experience. One of the only issues we've had was during the application process, some things weren't explained very well. We did some of the medical stuff ahead of time so it wouldn't be happening all at once. Then we had to do it all over again because it wasn't explained that it would have to be done within a certain amount of time. So the admissions and medical process was kind of complicated and cumbersome. But since we've been there and have been visiting, they've been very patient, gracious, and helpful in answering our questions. One of the best parts of the community is the staff. They go above and beyond on a very routine basis. They really work with us to allow our loved ones with different needs to stay in the same apartment. One of our loved ones has Alzheimer's and is really afraid to leave her room, but they have tried on numerous occasions to help her feel safe, and they encourage her to come out. I really appreciate the personal effort they make to help our loved ones get acclimated to their new environment. There have just been so many positive things we regularly see and experience here. I've tried the food several times and really enjoyed it. It's very good. They have a really good list of activities, and there are things to do like puzzles, TV, games, etc. if you don't want the more organized activities. Overall the value is good. My only complaint there is the cost to administer medications is high. But I would recommend them to anybody. I feel very safe having my loved ones here knowing that their wellbeing is protected.
