What Families Think

Most reviewers describe Arbor Terrace Acworth (formerly Dogwood Forest) as warm, attentive, and staffed by long-tenured caregivers who go out of their way for residents, particularly praising specific nurses and directors by name. However, a notable minority of reviews—several occurring after the community's transition from Dogwood Forest to Arbor Terrace—report serious lapses in call-button response times, food and laundry quality, communication, and billing transparency. Families researching this community should weigh the many glowing accounts against a handful of detailed, consequential complaints about care consistency and cost.

The Good

  • Dedicated memory care neighborhood with 24-hour specialized dementia care
  • Separate early-stage cognitive support option between independent living and memory care
  • Long-tenured staff noted by multiple reviewers
  • Hands-on help coordinating hospital-to-community transitions
  • Clean, well-maintained common areas and activity programming

The Bad

  • Several reports of slow call-button or emergency response times, some 25-45 minutes
  • Several reviewers describe declining food quality and unreliable laundry service
  • Several reports of unexpected charges and a point-based billing system on top of rent
  • One report of both elevators being out of service, stranding residents on upper floors
  • Multiple reviewers cite high staff and management turnover affecting care continuity

Arbor Terrace is a well run, clean and friendly facility. Staff is great, including Lynette who keeps us all posted on the “what to know” about Arbor.<br>Nursing staff run by Sharon, is on the mark. The decor is so pleasing to the eye. They have truly tried to make this a home setting for those who need extra assistance.

Missy Kemp took the utmost care with our family situation. We were walking a very unfamiliar path and she guided the way in such a tender and professional way. I can say enough wonderful things so I will just say that we are not just satisfied we are elated. Thank you Missy and Arbor Terrace for bringing us some peace and security.
