We needed a place that would take care of normal daily responsibilities for him plus cook his meals. Everywhere we looked had a typical nursing home feel to it and I was so sad having to consider placing my dad in such a place. He has such a huge spirit, he is the life of the party and he is super active and social. But it seemed that the other facilities were either independent senior living OR full nursing care. "There's GOT to be something in between that offers a range.. something beautiful?? YES! There is! THIS IS IT!

Ms. Larrier was very professional and her empathy towards her patients health issues was amazing. Yes!! I'm a 40+ woman who's body is in worst shape than some of these vibrant, full of life seniors I had to hop pass trying to find my way to the pool area. Yes! I said hop.... Geesh! go figure. Heck they where looking at me as though they wanted to ask if they could help me. Unfortunately today was just a medical visit. While hopping around (LOL!) I did noticed how elegant and huge the Sterlings Estate is. It has a very welcoming entrance with whom I believe maybe a concierge to help you with what your looking for or answer any questions you may have. Today was a nice gentleman standing in waiting. Again looking at me like..... he was waiting for me ask to be pointed in the direction of my grandmother or something. NOPE!!!! He was polite with telling me the way to my destination. The Sterlings has a grand dining area with plenty of seating. I noticed also they have what looked like a coffee area, wellness center and plenty more activities for the seniors in your life to enjoy. I'm here today to get the full benefits of their heated salt water pool. The Sterlings offer Aqua therapy for people who don't live on campus. My health insurance had them on the list of places to choose from. I chose The Sterling Estates, because I have driven pass about 4 times and thought to myself.... Those look like a nice community for my mom or great aunt to live. Not knowing I will be the one visiting before them. But a least I had the pleasure of seeing what little of the community I could see. And I can say it was a memorable one.

Beware Not everything is a polished as it seems. The…read moremajority of the personal aides are up to standard for a place that is supposed to be a 5-star experience. They absolutely need better top staff members. Never try to reach the "nurse". She is unavailable by phone. They seemed to be really on top of things prior to our actual move in. Not the case at this point. The actual facility certainly needs a face lift. There are no automatic doors to the interior garden and patio area. Thus, if you are in a wheelchair you are not going out without help. If you decide to dine in your room, your meal is brought to you in a styrofoam box at the end of the meal service in the dining room. So you are going to get your meal an hour later. Oh great, almost in time for you to go for the next meal. I will not go on. Most of the residents are happy there. But, let's be real. Change is hard enough who is going to move again?

Their goal is to bully the resident and his/her family into paying more money. One of their…read morefavorite tactics is to force the resident into memory care whether you agree or not. There is never an actual plan of care (services to be rendered.). Only increases in cost with absolutely no explanation of what you are paying for. There is far too much alcohol usage. That behavior is highly contraindicated for senior medications and totally inappropriate for the staff that are responsible for your family.

Recently, my family encountered some issues with a move from one unit to another larger unit. I sent an email to the Community Director, Renatta Hamilton, outlining my concerns. Within 30 minutes of sending the email, she had scheduled a meeting with herself, the Executive Director, Pierre Chism, and the Maintenance Director, Khalif Smith. The meeting was awesome; I was immediately comforted by the concerned and caring response as well as the plan of action that was outlined and agreed to. Within 24 hours, 90% of the needs had been addressed, and the remaining 10% is being handled now. No matter how beautiful a place may be, to me it means nothing if your experience is tainted by inadequate management or unpleasant attitudes from staff. Dunwoody Pines has obviously put their emphasis on treating their residents with respect and dignity and grace.
