Oaks at Ellijay

Nice people. Very clean and no smell. Keep them busy. It's a very nice place.

Staff was friendly and helpful, but the place was sorely understaffed. My husband was left alone in his room for hours at a time with no one checking on him. At one point he fell onto the floor and laid there for over an hour before someone realized what had happened. Food was mediocre and it took a very long time to get served because caretaking staff also served the food and there were not enough of them to get meals in a timely manner. There seemed to be adequate activities offered. It's just that my husband did not participate. My husband was there at The Oaks in respite care. I expected him to get more attention than was offered. We ended up having to hire our own sitters to keep him safe and avoid falls.

I had a bad experience with them my mother lived there for years it was good until recently everything has gone downhill caregivers are not very knowledgeable of what there doing. The weekends you are lucky to be able to find anybody the food is horrible sometimes it taste old moms always sending pictures of it if my siblings would agree I would move her out I would not recommend this place to anybody Price of this place is expensive for them to not do better

We've been very happy with the Oaks. The staff is very caring and attentive. Almost too attentive as my mother takes advantage of that. I get regular texts on how my mom is doing for if she needs me to bring anything to her. We were able to move her to a room on the first floor near the dining room so she is happier. My mother complains some about the meals but she's pretty much a fast food queen. The meals look ok and there is a variety and she is eating better. They do special meals for holidays and invite family and friends. There are several activities throughout the day. Overall, the experience has been very good. We were fortunate that they had a room available and at a discount so we were able to move her in quickly.

I have, a few times, recommended The Oaks, and A Place for Mom. It was a great experience, even though it was short.

We moved my now 96 year old father into The Oaks going on 2 years ago. The facility was recommended to me by a friend whose mother was there. When asked how he likes it at The Oaks, Daddy will be the first to tell you that he has died and gone to Heaven. He loves it here! The staff treats the residents with care, respect, and love. The activities offer something for everyone; residents can do as many or as few as they want. Daddy and other residents enjoyed planting tomatoes in raised gardens last summer. The garden is a very popular place in warm weather. He also uses the garden as a place to get a tan! Daddy loves the food! If one doesn’t like what is being served, he/she can ask for something else. It’s a great place! I love that my daddy is so happy!

I have been to the Oaks at Ellijay multiple times now for special events and tours, and I am in love with the entire atmosphere of the place. The staff is amazing and you can tell by talking to any of the residents that they love it there. Definitely highly recommend this facility!

As a caretaker for an elderly relative, I have visited many facilities, searching for the perfect one. I found it right here at The Oaks! Everyone is so kind and caring and the home and grounds are immaculate! Food, activities, social functions are all so wonderful here. The residents are obviously happy and well cared for! I would recommend The Oaks to any and everyone looking for the perfect home for their elderly loved ones. It really is HOME!

My mother is a resident at the oaks and absolutely loves it. They are amazing to her and makes her feel like home. She loves the atmosphere and the employees that work there. They really make her feel at home. We hope she can live here this rest of her life ?? thank you oaks staff for being amazing and loving my mom

My friend lived there for years he passed away and people had been in his room prowling there is no telling what they took had two ladies begging for his stuff. He had just passed and they rushed us to get everything out. When talking to the director she seems like she didn’t care. They didn’t give us time to deal with his death they wanted his belongings out

My mother has been at this facility for awhile. It’s very clean the food she hates.. I’m not to impressed with the director or some of the staff [remark removed] don’t trust any of the caregivers on second they don’t seem to know what they are doing and don’t feel comfortable with some who give out medication.. She has been complaining about stuff coming up missing out of her room. the weekends when you walk in you rarely see anyone they’re always short staffed. When we first brought mom here it was perfect but now we are second guessing it.. I worry about leaving her there now.

The Oaks at Ellijay is a nice looking facility and the staff are friendly. The meals are adequate. However, I don't feel that my mom always gets the assistance/attention that she needs. She is deaf, but most don't take the time to adequately communicate with her which makes her more confused and irritable. My mom is stubborn about asking for help and I think that's taken advantage of, at times. My biggest complaint is the inability to reach anyone after 4:30 or on the weekends. I've had serious concerns about mom, which seem to come up after hours and I'm unable to reach anyone. You can't even leave a message. I have complained to management about it, without any improvement. I have experienced similar situations with nursing rehab facilities, so it may be an industry wide problem.

The staff are so welcoming and accommodating. The residents are very friendly and fun. It has been a very pleasant experience for our friend.

Oaks at Ellijay is a nice and mostly quiet place. It's friendly and it has a beautiful view. My friend really loves having a room to herself.

I would recommend the community to others. The friendliness of the staff is something that stands out to me. The community feels like a home away from home. They have amenities of a hotel, but doesn't feel like one. My loved one isn't happy with the food. The community does have a set menu and the residents get to select their meals. They are making nutritious meals as well. I would like to see more comfort food mixed into the menu. I'm happy to have my daddy there. It is close by. The care meets my expectations. The biggest grievance I have is they have raised the rent three times in fourteen months. They are going to price him out of the community. Throughout the pandemic they had zero cases of the virus in the residents. They are excellent at keeping the residents safe.

Moved my mom from an Emeritus location in Buford, Ga that was terrible to Cameron Hall. You won't know it was the same woman who was wanting to die to the happy, smiley lady you see today. They residents at Cameron Hall are treated with love and dignity. I can't say enough goof things about the care givers and staff at Cameron Hall. They are fantastic.

They are very, very good! We really have no complaints! It is the only one in Ellijay, GA, but it is working out great! Everyone is very nice!

Cameron Hall was great, but they did not have the ability to accommodate my uncle. The hospital and the Place for Mom representative really pushed for an assisted living facility, but after one night Cameron Hall indicated my uncle could not stay there.
