Benton House of Decatur

My mother moved to Benton House Decatur about a year ago after the death of my father. Mom had just recently moved from another facility in the metro area. Prior to that time, she was a resident in another facility in Georgia. After these changes in residences, we were concerned about mom adjusting to her new normal. Then we found Benton House of Decatur. The administrative team at Benton House worked very diligently with my family to ensure that mom made a smooth transition to her new home. The key to mom's success at the Benton House are the following: a lovely aesthetically appealing and clean facility, multiple recreational activities for the residents, and the availability of Hollie and her staff. The staff's display of positive interactions with mom and the other residents at the Benton House is greatly appreciated.

My dad has lived here for two years now. The staff is attentive and friendly. They have been quick to respond to COVID procedures and still manage to provide residents with activities and interaction where/when appropriate. Facility is clean and well maintained. Food is pretty good, especially the bacon at breakfast!

My mother has been at Benton House Decatur for over a year. Overall, she has had a very good experience at this facility. We liked the fact that the facility is smaller than others we visited with only one level which makes it easier for her to go anywhere without taking an elevator. The pleasant staff and cleanliness of the facility was also a positive.

The past 6 months with COVID have been challenging for all of the residents, families and staff. I think that Hollie has done a good job in trying to keep everyone safe. They appear to be following all the state mandated guidelines.

Jenny, Activities Director, is a shining star . Her sweet loving spirit has really helped mother get through these trying times during the epidemic. There are many other staff members who have gone out of their way to make her feel comfortable and loved.

I would highly recommend Benton House to any family looking for an Assisted Living facility.

Last winter, I realized that I could no longer care for my wife at home. She has advanced Alzheimer's. We were fortunate enough to have her admitted to the Orchard memory-care neighborhood of Benton House in February 2020, just before the pandemic hit. Thank goodness! They're taking great care of her. She's eating well, sleeping well, interacting with residents and staff, and apparently enjoying herself. The memory-care coordinator sends me a report each Friday, sometimes with a video. I'm so grateful to have found Benton House.

The feeling of family is so strong in this community. Residents at the Benton House are so loved by staff and management. There are some special people in this company and their hearts are even bigger than their smiles, believe it or not :)
