Recent reviews of Independent Living in Penfield, GA
Magnolia Estates of Oconee in Bogart, GA
5.0

When my husband and I moved to the Athens area, we needed a retirement living facility for my dad. Magnolia Estates was recommended to us by friends whose mother had previously been a resident. We visited and were very impressed with the facility and the staff. We chose Magnolia Estates and have not one regret! My dad’s needs were more than met with care, respect and attentiveness. My dad grew to love several of the staff who cared for him and developed meaningful friendships with them and several of the residents. Magnolia Estates is lovely, clean, well maintained and the kitchen staff makes wonderful meals!!! Every April they host a family day and provide the best smoked chicken (Thank you [Name removed]) and several sides. Family members bring a covered dish and have a wonderful day celebrating our loved ones. A Christmas party is also planned for immediate family members with singing, Santa Clause giving a present to each resident and festive food. Great memories were made at Magnolia Estates - which dad referred to as “home”. Thank you [Name removed] and staff members for making my dad’s stay with y’all so happy and memorable! We miss him and miss your smiling, friendly, caring faces! We wish you continued success in providing an excellent senior living facility! [Name removed]

Manor Lake Athens
4.0

What our family lies the most about the Manor Lake Athens is the facilities as well as the staff members who work there. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

Savannah Court of Lake Oconee in Greensboro, GA
4.4

The staff is very friendly and they let me bring my dog in to visit. Communication is not as good as when we first moved in and I hope that changes. They have activities for the residence to do and my loved one is participating more. I would recommend this community to others based on my experence.
