Exceptional Environment and Care
reviewed on: 10/28/2015 by AnonymousI'm in a unique situation in that my mother still resides in her own home (with a caregiver). Where assisted living comes into play is that she does a respite stay for several days every couple of weeks. I found Dogwood Forest of Dunwoody through A Place for Mom, and was impressed as soon as I crossed the threshold. It's well-appointed, lots of quiet places for residents to gather, or just sit and read a book. When I was shown the spacious room Mom would be using, complete with TV and cable (things we'd had to constantly beg for previously), I knew she'd be comfortable there. The biggest surprise is that Mom absolutely LOVES Dogwood Forest of Dunwoody. She loves the people, the environment, the activities and - this has never happened - she loves the food! What I love is that the staff is conscientious and thorough, and her room is always clean and ready for her arrival. Having spent years working with two other assisted living facilities, I have no problem whatsoever giving Dogwood Forest of Dunwoody 5 stars. It is heads and shoulders above the rest.

reviewed on: 12/28/2013 by A Place For Mom CustomerIn comparison to the other two that we visited, it was very nice. Fabulous might be a bit strong but very inviting. Memory care floor wasn't available to tour due to a virus going around. It's convenient to family, very open and well lit. We'll probably put a deposit down.

reviewed on: 12/23/2012 by A Place For Mom CustomerReminded me of a remodeled high-end hotel. They could provide whatever you like, for a fee. Smaller community - max of 66 residents. In nice neighborhood. Close to shopping, entertainment and hospitals. No kitchenettes, only medium sized refrigerator in room.

reviewed on: 06/28/2013 by walter w masonI am completly satisfied with the Facility and the personnel there, especially Ms. Darby Tracey, Director of Community Relations. She did and is still doing, a very professional job. I toured a lot of Senior Living Facilities in the Atlanta area, but Dogwood Forest stood out from the rest.
