Review for Lakes at Gainesville Assisted Living
I would say it's a great place unless the individual has dementia of any kind. Residents can just walk out any door and get lost. It was a wonderful community but my dad had dementia and with this being his first move away from family it wasn't so good for him. They said he would either need around the clock assistance or would have to move. This was after we asked several times and they "assessed" him regarding his dementia.

Things to know.
Some staff don't have experience with residents that exhibit cognitive impairment behaviors. The respite/temporary apartment has an unpleasant odor. Don't expect healthy homemade meals. Had to remind staff to deliver meal to resident. Staff and residents are nice and friendly. One staff told a resident she couldn't eat at the men's table even though it is 1st come, 1st serve.

The staff are the stars of this facility. Would highly recommend.
The staff is good and they love my mom and treat her like their own grandma. A few are better than others but you are always going to have favorites. The food is not good. It's crazy expensive.

Very friendly and capable staff, but hospice care needs improvement
Once my dad entered hospice care at the Lakes, the level of service was insufficient for his needs. I would not recommend the lakes for hospice care

Caring community
The Lakes at Gainesville Assisted Living is such a clean community it is excellent and the staff members are wonderful. They keep us updated all the time when it comes to our loved ones and are always keeping up constant communication. Our loved ones complain about the meals but in comparison to what they have been used to eating, they are eating much better and much healthier. There are plenty of activities going on to keep the residents occupied and we do think the value is quite worth it.

Determine your needs.
When searching for assisted-living one must decide what their needs are. This facility meets our needs very well. We were not looking for trips abroad or nightclubs in the facility or a swimming pool. Our needs are met at a 4 of possible 5.

Process of updated when I toured
When I was there the community was in the process of updating the building so I couldn't judge my opinion on the appearance due to the construction. The staff seemed friendly and helpful and considering it was in the middle of being updated the overall place was extremely clean.

Good only if your relative can care for themself. Father had stroke, uti,went to hospital and rehab. Talked to director because of his condition. Was assured they went to 4 levels of care and then hospice. Paid to hold his room. He returned over month later, at level 2 care. Numerous occasions found him in room, door closed, no lights, t.v, not even fluids beside him. Room very hot, he would try to take off clothes. Returned to hospital, : uti, dehydration. Got call from head medical, he could not return to morningside. They were not qualified to care for him. After cat scan, discovered he had another stroke morningside failed to recognize. When we moved him, several personal items were gone from his room. Director never contacted me. Some employees were great, others quite unpleasant when dealing with them. They need to know their limitations

I am the Executive Director and was sorry to read of your impression of our community. Resident care, safety and happiness is our top priority. We carefully assess each resident's needs prior to move-in as we want residents to call Morningside home for years to come. On occasion, an individual will need a higher level of care. In that event, we partner with the family to find the best placement for their loved one. I would welcome a conversation with you where we can discuss the specifics of your father's situation.

No better place
I am so happy to write this review. Morningside has been a serious blessing to me. My mom lost my dad 2 years ago and then my sister 6 mo ago. That all being said, it is just me now taking care of my 90 year old mother. Roselyn, Bonnie, Juanita, Diane and all the others have made this transition great for my mom and myself. The food is excellent, the care is genuine and they listen. This is a must for me. Thank you guys at Morningside for being so......wonderful and caring.

Perfect Solution
My brother-in-law had become very debilitated after an illness and could not safely return home in his weakened state. He was in need of a facility that would support and nurture him back to strength and independence. I spoke with a case manager at the hospital who contacted 'A place for Mom' and put me in touch with Mary Bell who came to the hospital within hours to evaluate his needs. By the end of the day, arrangements had been made to have my brother-in-law transferred to Morningside Assisted Living in Gainesville, GA.
I felt particularly comfortable with this choice because they had cared for my father prior to his death some ten years ago. Stepping into Morningside, I was pleased to find many of the same faces and smiles that had helped my dad. The administrative aspect of the transfer was efficient and easy. The nursing staff was attentive to details and ready with suggestions. Setting up physical therapy and wound treatment was seamless. Everyone was kind and friendly. After two weeks, my brother-in-law was walking the halls and ready to go back home. The experience was marvelous for all of us.
The assistance of 'A Place for Mom' was invaluable and Morningside was the perfect solution. I recommend both without reservation.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Georgia regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Georgia regulations for Assisted Living.
