When my mom fell on Thanksgiving and had to endure months of recovery, she and I talked about the possibilities for a change in living arrangements. We discussed assisted living and weighed the pros and cons. We had an opportunity to visit, tour and dine at Autumn Cove. We were impressed with the attractive facility, the uniquely landscaped grounds, the elegant dining area and the friendly, skilled and compassionate staff at all levels. Many longtime friends and acquaintances were already residents there and we met new people with common interests. Mother was able to "try out" a furnished apartment and then choose her own [apartment] which we furnished with her furniture. She is "at home" here and stays very bus. The staff, facility and grounds at Autumn Cove are beautiful in every way just like my mom. How perfect is that!

Autumn Cove is the answer to my prayers and the solution to the needs of my Mom and Aunt. I have the responsibility for both of these wonderful women and they require very different care. The staff at Autumn Cove has been quick to diagnose their problems and find solutions. They have an uncanny way of seeing the senior as an individual and discovering the perfect way to meet their needs. My mom is a robust 85 year old woman with dementia, but great health otherwise. She needs to be busy, entertained, and receive lots of love. The schedule of activities is perfect for her and each one is personalized to her capabilities. They even give her "jobs" to keep her busy and help her keep her dignity. She is thriving and I believe this wonderful care is slowing her dementia. My Aunt's needs are just the opposite. When she arrived at Autumn Cove she was weak, listless, depressed and generally in failing health. The staff gave her much needed attention, encouragement, and atmosphere of security. She has thrived! Her physical health has greatly improved, she has a whole group of new friends, and she is very content with her new home. The care of a senior loved one is a great responsibility and was overwhelming for me. I searched for answers and sought advice from experts for some time before deciding on Autumn Cove. I can honestly say I believe that placing my Mom and Autumn at Autumn Cove is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Each night when I close my eyes I know that they are safe and happy.

This community was very nice and very clean and the staff was very nice and welcoming. The fact that it is all one level is great, and I love the nature trail! My family is planning a move in the future just as soon as we can get mom on board. She is a bit reluctant but there are a lot of fun things to do here, and we are hoping this will help encourage her. Having the other residents to socialize with is also a great asset. We were impressed! Thanks for the tour!

I absolutely love brining my loved one to Dogwood. She's greeted with joy and professionalism each time. She's cared for as if she was the parent of the staff there. I'm comfortable and confident she receives the best care possible every time she goes to Dogwood.

They are doing a very good job. They are very attentive. They have a great staff there. What I like the most is that there are about 20 residents and five caregivers, so there is 1:4 ratio. They have a big sitting room they call an inspiration room, and they talk to them and one on one with them they work with them and keep them busy. I really like it for mom. I would recommend them highly.

They were superb! They were unbelievable! They were great!

My father has been at Dogwood in Fayetteville for about two years. Dogwood has been a blessing for my father a well as his family, having a place that he is cared for so well gives us such a piece of mind I cant describe. I can't thank everyone enough for making his later years so filled with friends and activities that keep him active and having fun.

The Dogwood Forest of Fayetteville staff gave our mother extraordinary care and support--they were always there for her--professional, cheerful and kind. The staff communicated quickly with me when necessary and were able to provide thoughtful and professional recommendations. From her very first day, our mother was welcomed and integrated into the community and she felt she was in a caring place and that was as important to her as it was to us. Dogwood Forest creates a welcoming, homelike, fun and encouraging environment both for residents and for their families.

Our loved one was unfortunately only here for a very brief time, but I think they did a great job overall. They were very very accommodating, and worked amazingly well with a hospice service to make sure that his last days were comfortable.

I rate Dogwood Forest of Fayetteville an A+!

My mother has lived a Dogwood Forest for three years and the experience has been nothing but positive the whole time. From the very first day, she was made welcome and made comfortable with her new apartment and the routine and staff there. She has special needs resulting from a stroke years ago and the entire staff has taken extra care to make her feel comfortable and welcomed. My mother loves living at Dogwood Forest and she considers it to be "home" now and I am very pleased with our decision to choose Dogwood for her.

Morningside of Athens is a wonderful place. It is a smaller facility with 40 suites. It is a lot more cheery than other places I visited (not so hospital like or dark and gloomy). The director Teresa is fabulous and did everything in her power to make things acceptable for my mother. I would highly recommend this facility to someone.

Our loved one seems to be enjoying herself here. It's a nice clean place, and the staff are very caring towards the residents, and professional and friendly with family members.

They were very good. They were nice and they were clean. There was one lady that would come in his room that was a little rough with him, when we brought it to their attention they had someone else come and help him and she was very nice.

We toured this location when we were looking into options for our loved one. Everything here looked very good, it was a well kept, clean facility, and the staff were all very friendly and professional. This was originally our first choice, and I even had a deposit down, but in a last round of searching we found one just as nice that was much more convenient for family members to get to. We love the place we found, but I think they would have done just as good a job here!

This facility was very nice. It is in excellent condition, and the residents appear well cared for. They do have an opening, and are in our price range. They will hold the space for a deposit fee.

I was extremely impressed with the facility and staff. I was told that alot of my church members volunteer there as well, and that was a plus for me. I liked it because it is directly across the street from the professional medical buildings, and Piedmont-Fayette hospital as well.

Everything is going well for my loved one since her move to this community. The place is clean and maintained well. The staff is good, they go up to her room and get her to participate in going to the dining room for meals and interacting with other residents. They offer to take her outside as well.

At first had a hard time getting responses and help But overall everything has been good except for the Problems in the beginning. The food seems phenomenal and A good variety of food I And my brother likes It and that's what counts. Hopefully He can do more activities. He's just getting there. The place is very nice, clean and attentive. People nice. To Finally have people that care and or helping My brother out is really good and they're doing well. And he's getting better.

What we like the most about the Oaks is how kind they were to my mom. Her room was always clean. The food tasted good. They could improve on the music ., it was always a little loud and not from my mom's era.. too current music .. the residents spent a good bit of time just sitting and being bored., but they did do some fun things with them.
