My mom lived there for a handful of months. She had an issue with overpowering air fresheners that aggravated her COPD and that was never resolved. During her stay the facility also lost their cook and the meals were not great while they searched for a new staff member. I felt she was safe and the staff was friendly and kind, but it was definitely a poor fit for her. The stay came to a planned end, but if it had been a permanent move we would have been looking for a new home for her.... Read more

We loved our visit to the community. Everyone seemed so very friendly and happy. Beautiful building with very nice size apartments. Everything seemed very clean and well kept. We came during mealtime, and it smelled wonderful, and the residents seemed to be enjoying their lunch.

When walking into the community you immediately see lots of resident and activity happening in the building. You can see people laughing and enjoying themselves. All of the staff and residents spoke when we walked through. It was a pleasure to see such a warm inviting place. The Sales Director was very knowledgeable and helpful.

It's always clean. You're getting what you are paying for, and it's not too expensive. My loved one, has been very well taken care of. Overall, it's a clean, and friendly environment It's all I can really ask for.

Overall, management is friendly and well intentioned. But they suffer from a lack of staff and organization. They definitely promised more than they could deliver.

Response from The Goldton at Athens
October 6, 2021Hello, thank you for your feedback, we greatly appreciate your kind words!
We chose Traditions of Athens because they were the ones that contacted me back first and were great with their follow up. They were more proactive than some of the others we were looking into. The room sizes at the facility are very nice and spacious. It has been a good experience I would definitely recommend them to others.

Tradition is a great place to live. The staff is wonderful and you can tell they care. My apartment is a very nice size and there is always something to do. I highly recommend it for anyone looking into senior living.

Recently, this facility is desperately short of help. There is not enough employees for the number of residents. The staff is nice but overworked. It seems they are cutting corners at the expense of the residents. For the amount of money, you pay to live here, the service is very poor. The service pertains to giving out meds, being serviced in the dining room and waiting on RCAs. And it is because they don't have enough help. This has been brought up several times to management.

Traditions of Athens is the new social setting for Athens. The elderly love the beautiful community. The atmosphere is cozy and so family like. The food is good, the care that is provided by the care staff is outstanding. The staff is always so helpful. If you are looking for a assisted living for your parents/family then this is it, Athens has hit the jackpot. My aunt loves it.
