Caring and Comfortable Community
My wife and I lived for two months before we had to leave because I required emergency open heart surgery. We enjoyed living here. The food was well-prepared and plentiful. We were also able to participate in many social events in both Montclair and the neighboring Clairmont Place Condos. Montclair is also connected directly to the Dekalb Pathways network. Its grounds are landscaped beautifully around a small lake. It is a caring and comfortable community.

Not a good place
My mother was there for a year and a half. At first everything was fine. Then the Administrator was let go and all the staff left. They used agency staff who are trained but don’t know anything about the residents. The new administrator treats it like a 9-5 job and care is horrible. One immobile resident was dropped and broke her leg. No one on staff reported it. My mother “slid off her chair” while 2 aides were transferring her. The Administrator blames residents for anything that happens. I would stay away from this place if you care for your person

Caring Staff
The staff in Montclair are always attentive and caring. They take such good care of their residents! While I was staying there, they responded within minutes of me activating the nurse call button. When I had an emergency and needed to go to the hospital, they responded immediately and were extremely helpful to me and the paramedics.

Montclair is now Montclair Assisted Living!
The Montclair recently was certified as an assisted living facility and is under new management. So many previous reviews are now out of date.
Over the years I have had friends residing at the Montclair. Often, they were individuals who had lived at [removed] but then needed more assistance than independent living could provide. All were grateful that Montclair was available to them, even remarking that Montclair was the best option for them.
There've been many positive changes in the Montclair. The 24/7 staff now have proper training for an assisted living facility – more rigorous training than personal care facility requires. Montclair activities have expanded, including those combined with independent living residents (e.g., weekly outings and musical performances). Physical, occupational, and speech therapies are available as well a hair salon, massage therapy, and podiatry.
We've lived at Clairmont Place since 2015 and found both places to be caring and loving communities.

a lovely community to call home
Montclair is the sweet heart of the Clairmont Place community. Residents receive daily support from caregivers and management staff - the care givers have very sweet individual relationships with the residents and it seems like both parties benefit. The food is very good and the activities are wonderful. We enjoyed being invited for events with our loved one, like the Mother's Day tea.

I thought Montclair was really small, and the people in memory care were just sitting watching a loud TV. It was just not a good environment - I didn’t like it at all.

Quality Care
During the time my mother was a resident at Montclair Senior Living, she received quality care from a dedicated and caring staff.
She enjoyed the daily activities and interacting with the other residents and visitors. She enjoyed the weekly outings that included riding the bus to a variety of local restaurants.
The administrator kept me well informed of any changes or issues relating to my mothers health and well being. If I had any questions or concerns regarding my mother's care, I was always able to speak with the administrator - including nights, weekends, and holidays,

Montclair Assisted Living
My Mother has lived at Montclair for 6 years. Montclair is her home now and she is happy. Although Mom is not ambulatory and suffers among other things from Alzheimer's, she is a vivacious, intelligent and thoughtful woman.
Montclair staff are mindful and caring. Montclair is always clean and inviting. The food is consistently excellent. The landscape is beautiful and activities are scheduled each day.
My visits are rarely on the same day or at the same time. Every time I visit Mom she is always clean and dressed lovingly including her trademark necklace each day to go with her outfit. Her long hair combed and fastened with a barrette or band.
I depend on Montclair's administrator who is extraordinary, outstanding and always available - day or night - everyday. My calls are answered within minutes if not immediately.
Montclair is a community of residents who share the wonders of life together in spite of physical and mental conditions which the elderly are besieged with.
Twenty four hours each day, seven days a week I know my Mother is safe, receiving her medications as prescribed, eating excellent food and receiving wonderful care. Urgent medical care is available at a moment's notice and I can always reach a real person to check on Mom.
Leaving one's home is a terrifying experience both discouraging and disorienting. Montclair made and continues to make this life transition a graceful, enjoyable and pleasant adventure for my Mom.

I feel good about my decision
We have had our father in law here for quite some time now and how loved the service and care that he has been given. He is able to get help for taking showers, help dressing and gets his medications throughout the day on time. The activities person also helps and encourages him to come out for music performances. There is a very nice lake to walk around and also the community PATH that connects to the land where my father in law can get outside for fresh air.
I feel comfortable knowing that he is looked in on all day, whether he is in the sitting room or his private room. I feel a bit calmer and relaxed knowing that I can take a trip and he is safe at this facility, where as before his moving here I wasn't able to travel. I have recommended this facility to other friends and two have been placed there recently.

Hidden Gem
When my mother needed assisted living support five years ago, we came to Montclair. My aunt had been living at Clairmont Place for several years and we were familiar with the location, facilities and its very good reputation. Because most of mom's doctors are at Emory, the travel time is extremely convenient. Clairmont Place/Montclair is a constantly evolving campus that prides itself on being bright, cheerful and clean. A new wing with new rooms and new landscaping was a welcomed addition. Mom enjoys the other residents, the staff and the activities. [Removed], the administrator, is someone I have come to rely upon very much. She is extremely professional and knowledgable and has provided sound advice during trying times.

I feel good about my decision
My family member, dad, has been here for quite some time now at the Montclair. They have their needs met every day from helping with taking to shower to be given their medication at the correct time. I know that they also do frequent checks on whether in the sitting rooms or going into their bedroom. The activity director is always encouraging my dad to come out of his room for activities that he would enjoy, like music performances.
Over the past year there has been more décor improvements done with some new rooms but also a larger tv/living room space. And I always mention or recommend my friends to look at the Montclair for their family members and two have been placed there recently.

Highly recommend
I can not praise the Montclair enough. First the wonderful surroundings. A beautiful lake as you drive up to the entrance .You will not be disappointed when you enter the building the decor is stunning very tasteful .
It felt like home .I was sold before I saw the rest of the place which included an indoor swimming pool,fittness center and movie theater beauty shop to name a few . I met some of the wonderful staff including [Removed] the director of Montclair who put my mind at rest straight away .She answered all my questions with such ease. I knew then she was a very compassionate and caring person. [Removed] the Activities director showed me a schedule of all the activities planned each month .
[Removed] one of the CNA carers who has been at the Montclair for many years . Loved to see her interacts with the residents you could clearly see the bond she had with them .
The rooms were very clean and bright I knew then my dear Aunt would feel right at home and cherished.
I was not wrong she has been at the Montclair for several weeks now and is loving it . She is always telling me how happy she is and how many friends she has made. She also enjoys the wonderful varity of food at each meal .
Thank you to all the staff for making this move a very easy one

Very Disappointing
Our loved one has been at this facility for over a year, and we have seen a tremendous shortage of help. People wait in the tv area for up to an hour or more to be taken to their room or to the bathroom. I have asked CNA's politely to help escort a patient who is in dire need, and have been met with a very sour attitude, in most cases.
The general atmosphere is one of disgruntled employees, highly stressed and unavailable administrator. The one GOOD thing I see is that the place is pleasantly decorated and furnished, and always clean.
We were promised, before we moved in, that a CNA would respond within 5 minutes of pressing a call button. The average time is 20 minutes. We are still being told that CNA's check every patient every 2 hours through the night. It's really sporadic; actually closer to every 4 hours.
There have been a few stellar individuals over the months who show true compassion and kindness to residents, but the turnover rate is high, and CNA's reflect the stress of being overworked.
The administrator is too busy to be bothered with problems, and provides veiled attempts to hide the fact that the budgetary bottom line is what rules this facility.
I feel very sad for so many of these residents who do not have loved ones coming daily, or have outside care 24x7. Many go without eating because there is no one to make sure they eat, cut their meat, or even keep up with whether or not they are eating at all. The need for attention and vigilance is overwhelming.
What a sad environment in which to end your life.

Great location and across the VA Hospital. Montclair is a nursing home. Clairmont Place is their independent living area. We loved this concept of independent apartments. It feels like a regular condo and not like a senior community. Both places share the same land and parking area.

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.

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
