Arbor Terrace is worth looking at to find quality care in a beautiful atmosphere with activities for your loved one.

Director, [name removed], is a great communicator and goes the extra mile. The staff at Arbor Terrace work with our loved one to help her take advantage of the services and activities available to her. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the food is good.

Our Experience

Move in was tough, but they had had a busted pipe at Christmas and were in progress of renovations. We had to move 3 times. Was hard on me and him! They said they would move his stuff, but changed their mind when it was time to move him. There is no sink in the kitchen. I didn't realize it. Not one of the places he had lived before had not so I never thought to look or notice when we walked thru. It's a big deal when u have to use a bathroom sink to wash a coffee cup.... yuk!! Staff is half and half. They have some

Just what we needed, at just the right time!

I definitely would recommend Arbor Terrace of Athens. They are great! I would comment that it's best to aim to do admissions early in the week. We had to travel from out of state, and ended up missing some paperwork, so we had to do admission on a Saturday which was a little problematic. Otherwise, everything has been fantastic for my loved one at Arbor Terrace of Athens.

Our family had an in person tour with Arbor Terrace of Athens and it was a great tour experience, but at the time we needed to move our loved one in, they did not have any availability. However, we did like them.

So it's beyond a five in each. If they want their loved one to have a home with help and friends of residents and staff, Arbor Terraces of Athens for sure. You can talk to everybody. Easily. Everybody is friendly. Just it's a home I don't know what else to say.
