Holbrook Life

Loved this place! The director was amazing. Hoping my in-laws will like it.

I spoke with [Removed] from "A Place for Mom" She listened to what I was looking for and I had a few places I thought I would be interested in looking. [Removed] was spot on after listening to me and after going to Dogwood Forest of Acworth, I didn't need to look any further. It took care of everything I was worrying about. It is close (5.3 miles) and I can be there in 15 minutes. It is absolutely beautiful. It is staffed exceptionally well. Lots of managers working at the top and the staff in the memory care unit fit the bill perfectly. They are all positive and happy in what they are doing. They are very patient in handling the patients and show they know how to care for them as well as show that they care for them. Food is not bad and thats a hard subject to please everybody and keep within the diet restrictions of folks that age and health.

The community is clean with no trash or debris. The staff always know my family and me by name and understand the history of my father-in-law. The care is the best, the staff respond to all my father's care and needs. The meals provided is good, fresh and portioned to the right amount. The staff try to get my father to be involved in the activities available. I would recommend this community because I feel they genuinely care and give attention to all residents.

Dogwood Forest is just a wonderful place and the staff is so friendly and professional. They really made the transition a seamless one. The facility is so clean and homey. We have not been here long, but the experience has been great so far.

It is a beautiful facility and my friend is in the memory care unit and the ratio of residents to staff seems to be very good and the food is good and they seem to be doing a good job and she seems to be content.

They are constantly doing activities, which is a good thing. There is also a hair salon in their unit. The way the room is designed is perfect for those with dementia, like what my loved one has. It is just perfect.

Absolutely beautiful, clean and organized. Staff is helpful, caring, friendly and professional at all times. We are thrilled!

We initially had some issues but we worked them out. The staff was willing to work with us on issues concerning my parents adjustment. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. The facility itself is very clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The care services are excellent. The activities are pretty good. I would recommend the Dogwood Forest of Acworth to anyone to put on top of their list. It's nice.

Everyone here has gone out of their way to be helpful and friendly! Beautiful facility and well-run. My father-in-law is very happy here.

The facility is beautiful, and the staff is wonderful.

great folks, nice location and facility, too expensive for budget.

This is a brand new facility, so naturally, it is fresh and clean. But it is also open, spacious and inviting. Not only is it beautiful for the residents, it makes visiting a pleasure as well. My husband moved into the memory care unit last week. He was welcomed at the front door by 3 staff members and escorted back to what they call "Inspirations." The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and truly concerned about the well-being of the residents. The director of the unit went over each aspect of my husband's needs with me to be sure all his care needs are understood and to be sure the care-giving staff is aware. They are taking very good care of my husband as well as trying to preserve his dignity as much as possible. Each resident in Inspirations has special needs which the staff is trained to deal with. I have been told the food is great also!

Toured 7/18.April Johnson. Beautiful,new facility.Three floors; 68 apartments/24 memory care. Loved it.

COVID has cut down on activities that they are able to offer. There are a lot of activities still available via Zoom. The staff seems to very good to work with. The food is good and the dining room is open. We still try to social distance from other the residents. There is a bar called the Maverick that is opened on the afternoon on the weekend.

The thought of putting my father in a "home" just didn't sit well with me even though it was the best thing for him with Dementia. After visiting with Dogwood Forrest, nothing else compared. He has been there for over 2 years and he loves it and so do we. The staff is always helpful and keep us updated. Meals and entertainment are great and his room is nice. We were able to get him a room with a balcony overlooking the garden area.

I have only visited Dogwood Forest as I am looking for a place for my aunt and uncle. I have not made any appointments at this time, but I did want to brag on Miss [name removed] who was sitting at the front desk. She was very personable, very knowledgable, and could not have been any nicer! We WILL be back because of Miss [name removed]! Thank you!

The facility is clean and beautiful. However, they've had some staffing challenges and they seem to want to go up on rates at the drop of a hat when guests have illnesses or challenges short term.

We toured The Holbrook of Woodstock and it was a very nice facility! The facility is very modern and clean. The staff was very nice. However, we felt that it would be too big and overwhelming for our loved one because it is so spread out.

We've noticed they are having trouble with staffing lately. Also the meal quality has dropped off lately. Last week they served Tuna fish sandwiches for dinner. It's okay for lunch I suppose but not dinner. I would recommend to others. It just seems the pandemic negatively affected service level attitudes and workforce numbers.

They have a new chef, so hopefully the food improves. They are getting better with the activiites. I hope they continue to keep doing well with the activities. They have Bingo and Happy Hour. We picked this community, because of what they had to offer for my loved one, and it looked like a nice place. I like the kitchen, living room, and the layout of the rooms. I would recommend to other families.
