This community looks to be kept very clean, but the food at Sanford Estates is very heavy on carbs, they had ice cream all the time for the residents but since COVID they don't have it at the moment. We wish there was more sugar free options since a lot of the residents are diabetics. For the most part the staff is pretty friendly, however was especially liked the person who gave us our tour. He was great, he really tried to make things happen quickly. The rooms at this community are nice as well.

Our parents are at Sanford Estates and everyone there has been wonderful to them. [names removed] are excellent managers and have always taken very good care of our parents. I can call them for any reason whatsoever and they will take care of it. The accommodations are very nice, clean and kept up very well. The grounds are also very well taken care of. They even have a garden for my mother-in-law! There are fun activities provided by [name removed]who is very sweet to the guests. We are thankful for Sanford Estates and all that they have provided for our family. We would highly recommend them to you.

Residents constantly complain about how much they dislike this place. Laundry rooms are filled with trash for days. We did a walk through and things were out of shape and seemed a little standoffish.Price wise its expensive for the little space. One resident told us theres no steady management system and recently 2 sets of live in managers quit at the same time and Unprofessional environment with horrible food If you love your family memeber or friend dont place them here.

This is the ideal place but the most expensive for my Mom. Wish I could place her here but too costly. Wonderful staff and amenities that she would love. Only issue is the apartments do not come with a full kitchen, however there is a kitchen for everyone to use in the common area which makes for a great gathering place when you want to cook.

This is a lovely location, nearest to [name removed] in Norcross on the north end. They have live-in managers and a really nice dining room area. Like the atrium layout and only 3 floors. Nice wooded area. CONS - Price is a big one. This place is about $800 over our $2,500 per month budget. No concessions. And the 1 BR apartment at that price was just OK. Only had a partial kitchen with no stove or oven. Not even a microwave. Just a frig.

I visited this community with my mother recently and if you are on a budget they have figured a way out to deliver services to their residents for a low cost. When I first spoke to the marketing rep she described the services as “cruise ship like”. Since my mother travels a lot on high end cruises she was disappointed to find a Carnival cruise. Very small apartments that reminded me of a motel room. A AC unit installed in the wall and a small fan to blow the air into the bedroom. Ceiling tiles throughout. Food delivered by cart in the dining room. I can go on but bottom line is this is a low end option for people on a budget. The people seem friendly but not a place for my mother.

This community just opened in February and is 50% occupied, with 80% of units accounted for with deposits. Beautiful open, lots of natural light, airy floor plan. Great ammenities including a movie theater, nice workout room, lovely dining room and more... I really liked the feel of this community. the staff was friendly and seemed happy to be working there. They also greeted residents in passing by name. Cons - units are a little smaller with only kitchenettes (small full-sized refrigerator, small sink, and tiny counter space). Could expand with cart and add microwave and/or toaster oven, and coffee maker/ice tea maker.

Top amenities, brand new construction and several apartment options to fit budgets and needs. The movie theatre is a dream complete with soft serve ice cream and freshly popped pop corn! Staff go out of their way to help residents feel part of a community. Tell them [Removed] sent you!

A Place for Mom has scored Sanford Estates 9.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
