My sister lived there for a few months.<br>The staff is friendly. The inside is very pretty and the outside too.<br>The food is terrible I can’t image that management hasn’t organized recipes for the cooks. It is really, really bad. Several of the residents said they have complained but nothing has been done. I am serious it is terrible.<br>Cleaning services need to be improved. I had to clean the room many times.<br>The urine smell down the hallway was inexcusable. I had to plug my noise when<br>Walking down the hall.<br>Dog feces outside are not being picked up and there are several senior pet owners that need help doing this.<br>I thank the staff they are very nice but management needs to get better.

This is a wonderful facility and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Cindy, the sales director, is a pleasure to work with. You couldn't find a better place for your loved ones.

Don't let looks fool you, although this place has beautiful architecture and scenery, I would not recommend putting your loved one here. My grandfather had dementia and tended to wander so we had to place him from an assisted living facility to a memory care center and this one was the only one with an opening and now we know why. Within 3 months he went from a physically healthy man eating, drinking, walking, laughing, talking.. to passing away. We went on a 7 day vacation, checked on him the day before and he was talking, walking, eating and drinking just fine, our first day gone they claimed he fell asleep outside and they couldnt wake him up. We get messages from the manager saying he was doing fine so we finish our vacation, come back to visit him after 7 days and have to take him to emergency room for severe dehydration.. he had bed sores where they left him sitting in his recliner. Every time we would visit we would get mixed stories, workers would say one thing and documentation would say another. Med tech would say he didnt take his meds but records said he did. Manager would say he was doing well and ate, but workers would say he fell and wouldn't eat.. we were initially told there was always 3 people working memory care at all times.. as seen in an edited video to protect other residents privacy, you see no workers anywhere.. I have video proof of residents left unattended down hallways, unattended in group living space. The turnover here is atrocious. Although the ladies are lovely, they are completely untrained in how to deal with memory issues in elderly, often overheard speaking down to them and being forceful instead of suggestive, encouraging, or slightly firm. Ive seen a med tech repeatedly shove a spoon of meds against a lady's mouth who was in a wheelchair trying to force her to take liquid Tylenol. Do Not Put Your Loved Ones Here!

How our free service works

Georgia asks us to share this in writing.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

By submitting, you're okay with us and The Lodge at Blue Ridge reaching out by phone, email or text. Always free for families; if you move in, the community may pay us a referral fee, never you.
