This facility is subpar. I am astonished that the state of Georgia has not intervened to close this location. The staff at this site are underperforming. I am surprised that such a facility exists in Marietta. The staff exhibits a cavalier attitude towards clients/patients. Upon observation and monitoring, it has become evident that these issues have been ongoing for a considerable period. Now if the client has a male name Francis they are blessed because he was very kind to his clients.

I can NOT tell you how much of a lifesaver this facility was for my family. My father was in another nearby facility, that had a 4-Star Medicare rating and 4-Star Google rating. DO NOT believe every review you read!! After a week in the other facility, we'd had enough of their neglect and excuses. I dropped in at Autumn Breeze unannounced for a tour and to see if they had a bed available. Lee, the admissions director, showed me around the whole facility and introduced me to all their dept. heads. I had a great feeling from the moment I walked in the door. Was it nicer than the other place? No. But my dad never had to worry about whether they were going to bring him his breakfast or dinner...and the food was GREAT!! Nor did he have to wonder when he'd get a bath/shower. Carol, the administrator, came by every day to check on him and make sure he had everything he needed. (I never even laid eyes on the administrator at the other facility). Today, after 9 days there, we busted dad out of there and my heart melted at all the staff members stopping him in the hall to give him a hug and to tell him they were going to miss him. If your loved one needs full-time care of just a short stay in rehab, I promise you they will be well cared for at Autumn Breeze. I hope we never have to experience this again, but if we do...we'll be calling them first!!

I completed my CNA clinical hours at this facility and had a great experience. The staff was supportive, professional, and always willing to help. The facility was clean, organized, and focused on providing quality resident care. It was an excellent learning environment, and I gained valuable hands-on experience during my training.

When I went to visit Autumn Breeze to place my sweet dad (who is only 76 but with vascular dementia about stage 6) my therapist told me to look for three things. 1. Heat (older people don’t do well in cold and is the heating and cooling working well) CHECK 2. Staff (are they kind and attentive and thorough when you ask questions) CHECK 3. Food (nutritious- would I eat it?) CHECK I asked when I could tour, and the staff said anytime between 10-4pm. Great! I dropped in at noon as they were serving lunch and YES (I’m a personal trainer and nutritionist) and the plates being served in memory car I would absolutely eat and smelled delicious. I happen to love steamed cabbage and chicken. Second- Lee the admissions staff member was SO kind- so caring and speaking with her- I broke down crying- saying I just want to be my father’s daughter again- I’ve always been a daddy’s girl and to be his full time care taker with this horrible disease. I hate what vascular dementia/ Alzheimer’s does to a person. I both love and resent my father and in these last years- I want to just LOVE him and spend all the time I can with him without having his full time care and needs to handle on top of my own family’s needs. I asked Lee if I could give her a hug - and omg she said of course and I think I made her cry. Speaking with her - I know she cares so very deeply for people and their families. It is what makes us all human. Amy at reception is one of the sweetest souls I’ve ever encountered. Austin the activities director is so upbeat and kind and generous with his time in answering questions as he is juggling everyone’s needs and organizing community participation. I loved his energy. And Vicki in memory care- the nurse, god bless nurses. Especially ones who deal with sweet elderly people who are confused all the time. Her patience is unsurpassed with my father and the other residents as she cares for them. I was setting up my dads room and a young woman was passing out snacks. I asked about the snacks between meals available and she said they are always available. I told her my dad likes popcorn and she says they pass it out on movie nights to those who are allowed by doctors orders. They are very attentive to your loved one’s dietary needs etc and I miss my dad living at home- but it was becoming so over whelming. Also- go and look at the place yourself. It is clean- aesthetics aren’t the Ritz Carlton- (we live in Buckhead) but it does and could be akin to college dorms rooms (cleaner than my son’s fraternity house in college THAT is for sure! lol) but I feel SAFE placing my sweet daddy here- I love him so much- and he is in good hands. Go and visit yourself- TALK to the staff- be gentle. Every one is doing the best we can in these hard heartbreaking situations and just know that I’m absolutely an empathic person and can feel that the staff that works here (this is a tough job) cares deeply for people (for my dad) and I trust my loved one is in safe hands. My dad is a charmer and he will have the staff singing and dancing in his Latino ways before long. Thank you Autumn Breeze!
