The lady at the front desk, Melanie, I believe that is her name, was so helpful. Her personality shines! Hate I missed seeing Orlean C on her 102 birthday!! I'll be back Laura H Greenville,SC

I'm a personal care assistant and I stayed with a very lovely lady for a few hours this morning. When I first arrived I spoke to the man at the front desk. He was very helpful with me signing in. Then, all the residents I saw on the way in and on the way out were very pleasant. Acknowledging their neighbors with happy smiles. When I came out of the apartment I was in, the lady with a cleaning cart greeted me. She was very friendly. All around, it was obvious that everybody I saw was happy To be there.

I have lived in Lanier Gardens for three years now, and am so glad to be here. It is HUD assisted, and I need and am so grateful for that financial support. And every other kind of support is available here too! Activities, dining room, kind staff and many new friends. I feel safe here, very important to me also. I recommend both Lanier Gardens and Talmadge Terrace so highly to anyone - and if you're on a wait list, it is worth the wait. Marie Napoli, age 74

Lovely Place, within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Security building, Dining Facilities, great activities available, And the lovely Residents I met closing my Mothers apartment were wonderful. I met the Executive Director during this process and could tell the quality of Administration it takes to maintain its high standards. I would relocate from Boston to Lanier Gardens.

This is the most wonderful place. I cannot say enough good things. My mother has been living here for almost five months now. She has reconnected with friends and met so many new friends. The food is outstanding. But what makes Talmage Terrace and Lanier Gardens so unique is the staff. It wasn’t that easy a transition for my mother to move from her house (of 43 years). There were some hurdles during the transition. Every time I have reached out to a staff member (from any department) they never made me feel like I was disrupting their routine and would rally to help my mother in any and every situation. There is security 24/7 which I have to called, even in the middle of the night. What amazes me the most is the staff is so courteous and helpful no matter when I call. It has been a major blessing to have mom somewhere I know she is safe and around such positive, nurturing people, especially since I live four hours away. KUDOS to the staff at Lanier Gardens and Talmage Terrace in Athens Georgia!!! #1 Adult Community in my opinion!!!
