GREENWOOD PLACE

We have an uncle who was living in Denver, Colorado, 81-years-old, whose wife just passed away several months ago. He has moderately severe dementia, and had no family in Colorado, so we decided we needed to bring him to Georgia where he has relatives who care for him. After much research, and conversations with other families who had relatives in Greenwood Place Assisted Living in Marietta, our family decided to place him in an apartment there. We have visited him there numerous times since, and have been very happy with the quality of care and the attention the staff members have given our uncle since he moved in. His dementia left him confused about where he was; and we observed that on several occasions Greenwood had provided him with a caretaker companion who sat and chatted with him for several hours in his apartment, which visibly calmed him and left him relaxed and talkative when we visited. The staff nurses there have been very helpful in ensuring that he takes his prescriptions at the proper intervals, and were there to help very quickly on one occasion where he fell and had difficulty getting up. Overall we have found the staff to be very friendly and excellent at engaging with our uncle and the other residents there. Yes, there was a tragedy at this place, when a client managed to get out of the locked door and subsequently drowned in a nearby pond. But as a result of that terrible incident they have put new management in place and new security protocols, and the improved safety procedures have visibly improved the situation for current residents.

just have to share something that really touched me.We recently moved my uncle (who has Alzheimer’s) into Greenwood Place. If you’ve ever had to help a loved one through this stage of life, you know how emotional and overwhelming it can be. We were down to the wire getting his apartment ready. Someone had just moved out, it needed fresh paint, and his furniture delivery was already scheduled. The handyman was out sick. What I didn’t know? Four members of the staff — Maria (Business Office Manager) Andrea (Activities Director) Dorsey (Memory Care Director) and Ariel (Marketing Director) — grabbed paint supplies, put on old clothes, and painted his apartment themselves so it would be ready in time! They never mentioned it to me. I found out later from someone else. Who does this? I’ve already been impressed by the warmth and personal attention there, and all these ladies are amazing anyway, but this just meant so much. I know they’ve had a difficult chapter in the past, but there’s new leadership (Robert Day is wonderful) and additional safety measures in place. I did a lot of research before making this decision, and I truly feel at peace with him there. And seeing staff treat residents like family (a couple people who PM'd me on FB had mentioned that was what impressed about THEM abouit Greenwood) just reinforced my decision. Oh by the way, head nurse Aisha is a GEM--they are so lucky to have her. If anyone in our neighborhood is navigating something similar, I’m happy to share what we’ve learned. It’s not an easy road, but you can get through it!

I started the journey to find a place for my mom in October 2025 (my mom was relocating to GA). As a former CNA, I was extremely picky about where mom would be at. From the moment I spoke with Ariel on video chat, I felt confident in Greenwood for my mom. She showed me around the whole facility and answered every question I had. No matter how many times I called, she always had a very cheerful spirit and kept me abreast of the next steps as this was a hard transition. When my mom finally arrived to Greenwood, Ariel was there to help get my mom adjusted to her new home. Aisha the nurse is so nice and made my mom feel welcomed as well. Darcy was also a great help in the transition for my mom. My mom has now been there for a little over a month and she is enjoying her new home. My mom has made friends and she just loves the staff. Thank you Greenwood for all of your work. If you are considering a place for your parent, this is a good place to checkout and the price is well worth it.

Greenwood Place has truly exceptional staff. Every interaction I’ve had has been met with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. The team goes above and beyond to support residents and families, and it shows in everything they do. They communicate clearly, they stay attentive to every need, and they show up every single day with positive attitudes that make the community feel like home. From management to maintenance to the nursing staff, everyone treats the residents with dignity, patience, and respect. It is rare to find a team this dedicated, and their compassion makes all the difference. I’m grateful for the hard work and heart they put into their roles. Greenwood Place is blessed to have such an amazing staff. Highly recommend!

My sweet mom has been a “family member” at Greenwood for quite some time. The staff takes their roles very seriously and care for the residents as if they were their own family. We love the smaller setting with a nice fireplace to keep them warm. Guests come to sing and share their talents weekly. Spending time in their outdoor area is always relaxing and peaceful. It’s very comforting to know my mom is safe and cared for.
