Nursing Homes Community in Roswell, Georgia

Vickery Rose Retirement Community is less of a campus, but they've got lots of activities. They had 24-hour food available. It's a lovely place. They allowed dogs on the lower level, but they didn't have a room available at the time. My son really liked it. The staff was delightful, and the inside of the facility was absolutely lovely. I would've enjoyed living there. They've got a library, a little exercise room, and a nice theater. The staff described it as like a cruise ship, and they're pet friendly.

Brookdale Historic Roswell is very nice. They have activities like bingo, and a number of other things that I'm interested in. They provide three meals a day plus snacks. They wash my clothing, and they bring me my food if I don't want to go to the dining room. I'm in the smallest unit, and there's still plenty of room. I like the hospitality, warmth, and the friendliness of everyone I've met. The staff is very accommodating.

My mother is at Roswell Nursing & Rehabilitation. So far, so good. I didn't get a chance to look at the calendar that they have, but they have games, board games, Bingo, and things like that. They offer three meals a day. They are helpful to her. They should improve on the way that they talk because they're a little snappy. One of the nurses called me and he was very knowledgeable of the things that I needed to know. The doctors come there, and if not, they have a van. She likes the food. The thing that bothers me is the furniture that they have in the rooms is not up to par. For example, the handles are coming off the dresser, one of the beds in the room where my mom is looks broken down, and the bedding looks outdated.

My mother moved into Brookdale Historic Roswell. We're very new there. I think it's great and it's perfect for my mother. The staff is very helpful, very good, and thorough, and they seem to care about the residents. I couldn't be more thrilled. The only thing that's a little bit of a negative is that my mother needs help getting up every now and then. She told me she had to wait for 30 minutes once and I didn't think that she would have to wait for more than six minutes tops. I'm not sure what happened there, but there might have been a miscommunication. Other than that, everything has been good. She loves the food there. She thinks it's great. The dining area is very nice. They have a large room to do exercises in, and they have regular exercise activities. They have a large library with a really nice open patio that looks over historic Roswell, so that's lovely.

My mother has lived in this community for a year now. It is a very old community and the common areas do need updating. They have somewhat updated the apartments which are acceptable. They offer a lot of activities to keep my mom busy if she chooses. The food is my biggest gripe. They do not have a chef on the property. The meals are very inconsistent and the portion size varies daily. Some meals are good while others are inedible. My mother no longer cooks so her main meal for the day absolutely needs to be edible. I think this property still has a lot of work to do.
