Suddenly having a loved one need full-time care plunges you into a world where you're a novice,…read morelearning for the first time of all the choices, providers, payers, complications, pitfalls, and confusion of growing old in America. There is no handbook. It's little bits of knowledge you glean from friends, other people in a doctor's waiting room, caregivers, online searches, and AARP magazine. You piece together a plan: not knowing what all is available to you, what to avoid, what's a waste of time, what's going to be the best random choice you'll make, or what is going to happen next in terms of health decline or improvement. You make the best decisions you can, based on basically no knowledge/experience in a chaotic, complicated environment. Choosing Delmar for my mother was the best decision we made - luckily, fortunately, unknowingly. It comes down to, "What will her daily life be like? How will she be cared for, when I can't be there?" No online views of attractive facilities or happy residents can tell you that. It's a leap of faith, entrusting your parent to strangers. So I'm going to use this space to answer the kind of questions *we* had - in terms of what we found *at Delmar* , not the other nearby Smyrna/Atlanta places. For those, I can't help you - knowing teveryone gives the same standard info online, on the phone, in person. Every day I visit my mother, so I think I have a good handle on how they perform. **What care can she get?** This is a little complicated. Because I actually didn't know what kind of care she needed. Or how to determine that. I just knew that she could not live with us and he longer; her daily level of need was too great for me to manage. I was struggling to keep her showered, dressed, fed, taken to doctors, care with medicines & for wounds, much less entertained, loved, and cognizant of what's going on. A full-time job it had become. Even when I'd hire a "sitter" once in a while, I was using that free time to sleep or rest. Delmar helped me understand that they could do the care parts, so I could spend my time with her in other ways. She went into Assisted Living. (I had been so afraid she'd need Nursing Home care - which is a big jump from living on the same farm for 86 years, to basically a room. Though that's what she had, at our house for the past 6 months.) It was A LOT of "assisted" - and has grown to be a lot more, in the past 3 years. They did all the things I had been doing for her. She was still quite ambulatory, but had macular degeneration so her sight was about nil, and was very hard of hearing, so even with aids in, required yelling and patience. They offered MUCH assistance that we did not need. (But have since then needed): - Giving medicines - Getting her to the dining room for meals - Introduce her to other residents - Take her downstairs (for events, beauty shop, appointments) and take her back up - Do her personal laundry and also linens - Explain what is going on - Clean her apartment Eventually: - Give showers - Make her bed - Help her find clothes/dress - Remind her of dentures & hearing aids - Change diapers/help her remember - Walk her to bathroom in the middle of the night - Bring meals / snacks to her room And more. WITH A LOVING ATTITUDE, too. My mother is frustrating. But I've never seen a CNA or dining worker or maintenance person treat her with anything but kindness. Sure, there's the fact that I'm THERE and it could be otherwise when I'm not. But TRUST my mother would tell me! **How can I know things?" Delmar has been INCREDIBLY helpful in sharing what is available, outside of their own care - both free services and paid. They turned me on to how to get VA benefits, which halved her rent for us. Plus Medicare-covered podiatry services and flu shots. (Eventually, Covid.) And HOME HEALTH services to augment what Delmar does. Like, bringing in physical therapy, counseling talk-therapy, nursing visits. **Can we afford it?** It seemed SO expensive to us. But the other, less-great places around Atlanta were expensive, too. We didn't know how we'd swing it. But we DID know she couldn't live alone, nor could she live with us and get the care she needs. CONTINUED at https://mydelmaryelpreview.blogspot.com

Not being from the area, I trusted them because they specialize in working with families in finding the best caregivers and vet each senior living facility to find the best fit. My 62-yr old sister is a military veteran and is independent but needs some assistance with her daily health rituals and consistent administering of her medication. Following six weeks of physical rehabilitation, living independently was no longer an option for her. We toured a couple of other properties around Atlanta, but she liked Coventry Place instantly. We met with the director Christina, who was warm, genuinely friendly, informative and super knowledgeable. I believe that Christina's compassion and understanding helped both my sister and I feel welcome and at ease. I also appreciated that wherever we went in the building, Christina always greeted residents and employees by name, and with a smile. It's amazing how much the little things mean when you are going through such a transition. The facility itself is wonderful--conveniently located, clean, bright and full of residents of various ages, so my sister doesn't feel like an "outsider" given her age. Large and inviting community rooms and exterior courtyard; library/game room; full kitchen and dining room; different chefs and DELICIOUS food! Staff here are great too. They are very responsive, accommodating, and really seem to care about the residents. There are plenty of activities offered and to choose from. Although I live out-of-town, I speak with my sister regularly and she has already made friends and is extremely happy living at Coventry Place. Respectfully, I am at peace that she is safe and given the proper care that she deserves. With so much negativity going on in the world, I'm so glad to share our positive experience and I highly recommend Coventry Place.

After 2 yrs it's gotten worse!…read more Management held residents' meetings in July 2024 and Administrator promised to address/fix many issues. Filthy laundry rooms, furniture replacement needs in computer room and common areas, multiple language signage for trash areas, etc. Negative and unhelpful staff interactions with residents, etc. Nothing was changed on any issues discussed. Unsatisfactory conditions in too many common areas continue but we've got a new lobby and dining room. We don't have meals service but CS-B continues to lease our kitchen to outside company. The aging infrastructure is still aging and some things are slowly being replaced or repaired but aesthetics are prioritized. We'd rather have clean functional laundry rooms and computer room without non working printer and scanner. Common areas without stained nasty carpet and furniture, etc. We'd like to walk hallways without smelling nasty oily garlicy cooking odors from leased catering company using our building's kitchen day in and day out. Management/residents communication is also challenging. We receive notifications of repairs but they regularly are inconsistent with actual dates. We are not kept informed about changes in timelines in real time. Our schedules are not considered. The bugs continue to share our space. The now mandated exterminator service is managed by one man. It takes about 4 mos to be in rotation to get every apt sprayed. You can request individually but all 3 bldgs (400+ apts) need service more often. Rudeness, incompetence and bullying continues by most of staff. On the surface this place looks fine but in reality it is a marginal HUD/Atlanta Housing Authority project. If management held their staff accountable, used their available funds (net assets $9M+ for 2024 Schedule 990 per ProPublica website) and prioritized daily residents' needs this could be a positive, safe and healthy place to age but they choose aesthetics to show off to their BOD and prospective residents. They get you in the door with mission statements of caring and integrity but then ignore your requests for the safe, clean apt and common areas you use daily. This is NOT the haven their website indicates IMHO!

Campbell Stone is a low-income senior housing unit that is directly behind the Publix in Buckhead. I can't say enough about this place. Let's face it, most of these senior housing high rises are depressing, they smell, and feel dirty. One of the few exceptions is Campbell Stone. With qualification for low-income, they take 30% of the residents income for rent, and all utilities are free. If you want cable, it is only $15 a month. Campbell Stone recently went under a $11 million renovation. So all the apartments are in great condition and are a decent size as well. They have food services if you choose, a chapel, a barber shop, a newstand type store, consignment shop, exercise facility, common garden, and a part-time Bank of America branch. They also organize trips to the mall, grocery, movies and excursions to North GA, etc. The best part though, is the service. The employees really do care about the residents, and are friendly and helpful. Twice, my father-in-law was out of town and both times they called wondering where he was, to make sure everything was o.k. That is reassuring. It is amazing that they even notice these things with 15 floors of residents. Security is also good, they wouldn't even let Comcast up to his apt. without his permission. Along with a few newer senior units up in the Brookhaven area, this is one of the best in the Atlanta area. Highly recommend!
