Holbrook Life

The decision to move my mother to the Memory Care at Dogwood Forest has been one of the best decisions our family has made regarding my mother’s care. I had visited multiple communities prior to selecting Dogwood Forest. From the moment I walked into Dogwood Forest for a tour with [name removed], the Sales Director, I knew I had found the right place for our mom. The decision to place your loved one in memory care is not an easy one, and Lori made us feel like family from the first visit. She explained every step of the process and was there for us to make my mother’s transition easy and smooth. The property is beautiful, welcoming, exceptionally clean and well maintained. Every staff member we have encountered is attentive and goes above and beyond to make residents feel at home. The outings and daily activities keep residents safe, engaged and entertained. We are so blessed to have discovered Dogwood Forest, and feel our mom is safe and very well cared for at this community.

We moved my parents into Dogwood Forest about two months ago. My Dad was diagnosed with ALS and my mom needed more help with his care. Dogwood and the staff have been awesome. They are so caring and do everything they can to make my parents feel at home. If there’s something my parents are unhappy with the staff has a sit down with the family to figure out how to improve or make them happy :) My parents were even allowed to bring their beloved Standard Poodle and they welcomed him as well with open arms. Also if I have a problem I text one of the staff and she immediately responds and takes care of whatever we need! I would highly recommend Dogwood Forest

From the first interview through the difficult and challenging task of actually admitting my wife into Holbrook, the staff went above and beyond in making this difficult process as easy as possible. At each stage a staff member carefully explained each step and answered al of our questions. When the day finally arrived that we had to make the transition, after weeks of agonizing whether we had made the right decision, the staff welcomed my wife so effortlessly it relieved the stress our entire family had been feeling as admittance day approached. Now, after six weeks, my wife is thriving in her new home with each day filled with activities focused on associating and gathering, interlaced with activities to help stimulate them both mentally and physically. We could not be more pleased. Now, I will be moving close by into the independent living area and am excitedly awaiting my transition.

My mom is doing so well here. They are very nice and it is always kept super clean. The grounds are spectacular, they are very well maintained and beautiful. They have a social calendar with activities every day, she has made some friends and really enjoys the social aspect of it all. The people she has talked to came from other facilities and they said this is by far the best one. In the assisted living side they try to make it flexible, they have a restaurant so you can get it delivered to your room or you can go down to eat. Residents meet bi-weekly with the chef and discuss any issues and what they want in upcoming weeks. They have a salon and spa on site, the woman who does her hair makes her look so good each week and she loves it. They also have a salt water pool and a steam room infused with eucalyptus and a sauna. I cannot say enough good things about The Holbrook, I would recommend to other families.

It was over the top nice. The only was over our price range.

Dogwood Forest is an absolutely gorgeous facility. I appreciated that we were able to do an in person tour with them at the time. One thing that I really liked about it was that some of the rooms had either private or shared balconies. It is a bigger facility so it was more expensive, otherwise this would have been our first choice.

I would highly recommend Hollbrook. The apartments are incredibly well done. The staff and residents are fantastic. The food is cooked to order, and well done. The drinks are reasonably priced. Sometimes the meals are a little too big for the residents.

We found Dogwood Forest of Acworth through A Place for Mom & I would give them 10 stars if that was possible. We moved Mom into the Memory Care Center & could not be happier with our decision. Mom is very active & engaged every day & is the happiest we've seen her in many years. Every staff member from, from the Sales Director & upper management to the caregiving staff, maintenance & housekeeping, the wellness/activities director, concierge, the list goes on-consistently goes above & beyond in providing exceptional service. The property is beautiful & pristine clean. The entire team is extremely attentive, responsive, compassionate & professional & is always respectful, patient, helpful & upbeat. Mom feels safe & is happy in her new home. We sleep better at night knowing she is being well cared for by a group of people who embrace us like extended family. I simply can't say enough good things about DF of Acworth. Our heart felt thanks goes to the entire team. You are all outstanding!

You get what you pay for at this community when it comes to the overall value, and we did not use the care services they provided. Some activities they had were socialization activities that involved happy hour in the afternoons, they would celebrate birthdays with monthly parties. They have a theater that is available to the residents. They also have physical therapy services which is certainly very useful, this community also had a transportation services for when the residents needed to go somewhere, like the grocery store of the pharmacy. My mom really liked the location, it was very close to her home, and we were very pleased with the quick responsiveness from the staff, they were very accommodating to my mom, the communication was great. The food was excellent as well, it was more of a restaurant atmosphere instead of a cafeteria atmosphere.

My wife loves it there. When I visit her there, the staff are so friendly and she is happy. I checked out several different places and Dogwood Forest was really heads and shoulders above all of them. The care is outstanding. We have friendships with the staff team and also have built relationships with the other residents. The interaction between the staff and the residents is really good.

We have a fitness center with a heated pool which I really enjoy. The meals are great and family are welcome to join for meals. I really don't have to do anything anymore. I have a weekly cleaning services and the staff here are so sweet and friendly. We have movies everyday, and so many activities. I started taking an art class here and discovered that I have a love for painting now. We have a good group of residents here and we really enjoy each others company.

The food at The Holbrook is really good, even my picky family members enjoy eating there. Staff has really been great within just a few days of moving in the staff was all greeting him by name. We were happy to find quite a few men at The Holbrook which has been great for my dad who is a widower to find a peer group. He is looking to be able to get back out in the courtyard with his buddies. They have a salt water pool and a lot of other great amenities that my dad is looking forward to using.

We ended up being 1 1/2 late for our appointment as we got lost with the GPS malfunctioning in two devices. The receptionist was understanding and was able to assign another person for a tour as the Community Relations Director was doing another tour. The building is new and very attractive, the rooms are spacious and well thought out.There is underground parking with valet service. Everyone we met was very friendly, staff and residents alike. This place has it all. We were very impressed.

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with [name removed], the staff was so welcoming and nice, [name removed] answered my questions and was most accommodating. I ate a wonderful nutritious lunch I got to meet many residents. I Love this place and made a deposit on a 1BR with great incentives.

I met with [name removed] and was very impressed with this location. It was clean and neat and yielded a family atmosphere. The rooms are ideal for my uncle. The units are spacious. If there was a drawback here, it would be the transportation they provide is quite limited. And to utilize additional services outside of what they offer is $45 per trip which is expensive. However, it is at the top of our listing right now.

This is the best one yet! Price, location, amenities!

Dogwood Forest is a truly top notch facility for Seniors!

Toured this facility today and absolutely loved it. Staff was so friendly and caring.

This is a newer community that it is well maintained and well kept. The food is good and they offer a variety of choices. The staff are encouraging mom to participate in some of the daily activities. We have good communication with the staff. The staff are nice, attentive and accommodating. I am extremely happy with this community and I would recommend it.

Very nice facility with a lot to offer its residents. April and staff were very nice. Rooms were nice and spacious.
