Winnwood Retirement Community

My mother had a fantastic experience during her stay at Winnwood Assisted Living. From the moment we arrived, she felt safe and comfortable, which gave our family tremendous peace of mind. The staff is incredibly loving and attentive, always going the extra mile to make sure residents are well cared for. There were plenty of activities for her to enjoy, from shopping trips to bingo nights, which kept her social and engaged. The property itself is beautifully maintained—the landscaping makes it feel warm, welcoming, and serene. I especially want to recognize the nursing staff and the assistant director, who were both extremely attentive and responsive to my mother’s needs. Their kindness and professionalism made all the difference. I highly recommend Winnwood to any family looking for a safe, active, and caring community for their loved ones.

Before even giving a review, I’ll say, and stress, as a caregiver, DO YOUR HOMEWORK!! While Winnwood is a nice facility here in Marietta, GA, like most companies, staffing could use some retraining. It’s not enough to shine when families are looking to place their loved ones, it’s important to keep up that momentum to retain them. Our experience at Winnwood started strong, then care of our father took a downturn. A considerable amount of money is spent for senior living services ($$$$) and as a family member, you shouldn’t feel the need to do laundry and purchase meals from an outside service. The paperwork for entrance is extensive. Then to have to remind staff about meals we didn’t choose, making sure medications are being taken, and just keeping an eye out if you see a resident isn’t eating meals. If you have a resident that’s diabetic, and they’re not eating meals, that’s going to affect their behavior. Not being funny, but no one is delightful, if they’re hungry. If you see something, say something. A little care to mention so that maybe something can be changed is not a lot to ask for. We never asked for anything extraordinary, just treat our loved one as you’d like yours treated. We didn’t have the best experience, but it is my hope the facility takes these comments into consideration and does better going forward.

Winnwood is a beautiful landscape on 9 acres. The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and kind, and call you by name, and are caring. There is transportation for doctors appointments, and other needs within a five mile radius. There is a bus for shopping, bank, postoffice, and library. The drivers are very nice and make sure you can get in and out of the car, help you if there is a curb, get a shopping cart for you if you are shopping, and open doors for you with a big smile. I cannot praise the staff enough. Plenty of things to do.

5 for all. Winnwood Retirement Community has beautiful grounds, wonderful staff, plenty to do to stay busy. Yes, we would absolutely recommend the community to other families based on our experience so far.

My mother had an overall good experience. However, we made arrangements for her to stay longer, and when she checked in the weekend staff was not on the same as the weekday staff. That created a monkey wrench in our initial plans.
