I am extremely disappointed with the level of care provided at Buckhead Nursing and Healing. My experience with this facility was deeply concerning and unacceptable. My mother was left without oxygen and repeatedly rang for assistance, but no one responded for approximately an hour and a half. This kind of delay is not only neglectful but could have resulted in a very serious outcome. Timely response to patients—especially those with critical needs—is essential, and this standard was clearly not met. In addition, many of the CNAs and nurses we encountered were disrespectful and appeared indifferent to patient care. It often felt as though the focus was more on collecting a paycheck than providing compassionate, attentive service. While there were a few CNAs who showed kindness and professionalism, and one nurse on the fourth floor who treated my mother well, these positive experiences were unfortunately the exception rather than the rule. It is also very concerning that the facility continues to accept new patients despite what appears to be a clear shortage of staff. Proper staffing is critical to ensuring patient safety and quality care, and this facility does not seem adequately equipped to meet those responsibilities. Overall, I would not recommend this facility to anyone seeking safe and compassionate care for their loved ones. Significant improvements are needed in staffing, responsiveness, and overall patient treatment.

Julie is an outstanding receptionist who brings warmth and professionalism to the nursing care home every day. She greets everyone with a friendly smile and takes the time to ensure residents, families, and visitors feel welcomed and supported. Her communication is clear and helpful, and she handles every situation with patience and care. Julie’s dedication and positive energy truly make a difference, and she is an important part of what makes the facility feel so inviting.

I cannot say enough incredible things about Syca Johnson and the level of excellence she brings to the Buckhead Center. From the moment you walk through the doors, it is clear that her passion, creativity, and commitment to resident engagement are truly exceptional. Syca has an extraordinary ability to design and execute programs that are not only well-organized, but also meaningful, inclusive, and genuinely enjoyable. Every activity reflects intentional planning and a deep understanding of the residents’ interests, needs, and overall well-being. Whether it’s themed events, interactive activities, or community-building initiatives, she consistently creates an environment that is vibrant, welcoming, and full of positive energy. What truly sets Syca apart is her personal touch. She takes the time to connect with residents individually, ensuring everyone feels seen, valued, and included. Her warm personality and professional approach foster a sense of community that is both uplifting and inspiring. You can tell she doesn’t just do her job—she genuinely cares about the people she serves. Her leadership elevates the entire experience at the Buckhead Center. The consistency, attention to detail, and enthusiasm she brings each day are unmatched. It’s rare to find someone who blends professionalism, compassion, and innovation so seamlessly. If you are looking for a community where activities are thoughtfully curated and led by someone who truly goes above and beyond, Syca Johnson is the reason Buckhead Center stands out. She is an absolute asset and a shining example of excellence in her field.

My mother has been at this facility since November 2025. I was very pleased with the staff at this facility. The cleanliness of the floors. I watched the staff and how they get alone with each other. They got along very well and that says they like each other and their place of work. That’s always a plus for me. They have therapy as well as a dialysis in house which was an added bonus. The front desk always looks professional, pleasant and welcoming.

I recently visited a friend who is staying at this rehabilitation center, and I was very impressed with the overall environment and level of care. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and very welcoming. The staff members are kind, professional, and clearly care about the patients they work with. Everyone I encountered was attentive and respectful, and it’s clear they take pride in providing quality care. It’s comforting to know my friend is in a place where the staff truly care about their patients’ well-being and recovery. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone looking for a supportive and compassionate rehabilitation center.
