Independent Living Community in Dunwoody, Georgia

Everything at The Phoenix at Dunwoody looked really nice. They had a lot of amenities like exercises and memory care. The staff member who accommodated me during the tour was excellent. The room I saw in the community was a studio, but they also have other options available (although I didn't look at them). They have activities and games like throwing a balloon around among the residents. I talked to one guy who was mopping the floor and he was also nice. The layout of the place was also good.

My mother is in Dunwoody Pines. It has been pretty good for her, I think she has enjoyed it, and it seemed like a good community. They're upgrading their facility now, and all their apartments are being refreshed as they are being vacated and filled again. She has been in one unit and they're moving her to another unit that has been refurbished. It's been good. They have group activities, they play games, they have some artistic stuff, she has gone on a couple of field trips, and I think they have bingo. She seems to be pretty active. It's been pretty clean, smells good, and it's a good facility. The food could be better, with a better variety and better quality.

I visited Dunwoody Pines Retirement Community. The first apartment the staff showed me was too tiny, and I didn't like that. There was no dining room. I thought it was a lovely place, I really liked the staff who took me around, and the next apartment she showed me was better.

I loved Dunwoody Pines. The apartments were comfortable and a little small but very nice. They had wonderful activities and a wonderful person in charge. They had a wonderful lecture on the Great Gasby and everybody dressed up in Roaring '20s clothes. They had buffets, cocktails, jazz guitarists, and a speaker. They had balloon volleyball for people who can't move around a lot and card games. They go shopping and to the theater, and every Thursday they go out to an activity. The food was outstanding, the best I have tried. Everybody loved it. The staff was friendly, talked to you, and seemed to get along. The place was diverse with men and women. I met a wonderful Korean family, and they have African-Americans and Caucasians. It's a very nice mixture. The place also had a wonderful atmosphere.
