The Phoenix at Lake Joy in Warner Robins, GA
3.4
Our loved one was previously a resident at The Phoenix at Lake Joy. The quality of care declined. If not for hospice, I don't know what we would have done. We ended up moving our loved one to another facility. I would not recommend The Phoenix at Lake Joy to others.
Madison Heights at Prado in Macon, GA

My loved one was previously a resident at Madison Heights at Prado and the overall experience for us at this facility was good. The staff was good, however, there was not enough of them. The cleanliness and friendliness were great. As for the value for cost, it was very expensive.
