What families are saying about independent living in Handy

Recent reviews for independent living in Handy

Brickmont of West Cobb in Marietta, GA

4.8
We can only speak for the memory care section. We love the 9-5 staff of Brickmont, but the staffing and care was not the same or best experience on nights and weekends. High turnover, 50% lovely caring people, just not enough of them.

The Palms of Lake Spivey

4.0
What we like the most about The Palms of Lake Spivey is the staff. The staff is good. The grounds are well kept. The activities are fun for the residents. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

Decatur Christian Towers

5.0
Everybody was extremely nice and helpful in getting me in touch with the right resources to move my loved one into the place. I thought it was a good facility and I can not think of any improvements that need to be made.
