Our families experience

My honest answer is that Mom did not have a great or even decent experience at Oaks. Her clothing and other valuables were often (over and over) stolen from the workers, who had no accountability as to their theft, by management. In addition, the food they served was really horrible! Many days they served potato chips as a 'vegetable'. The bottom line is that after Mom repeatedly said to me: 'I feel so violated.' (From the ongoing thievery), I chose to move her to Legacy Village, where we have had a much better experience. I feel that the problem originates from the top. The Executive Director at Oaks was always behind locked/closed wood door; completely unavailable and not engaged.

Oaks is merely MEDIOCRE.

Food is not nourishing and usually almost inedible - the taste and quality is so very bad. Thievery is so common and not even commented upon by management. My Mom has said to me so many times: ‘I feel so violated.’ (From the stealing of even the smallest of her belongings.)

Wonderful home for our mom

If your family member is still able to get around and can perform daily tasks with some assistance, the Oaks at Cedar Shoals is a great option. It is well run and the staff are very loving and caring towards all of the residents.

Respite care for my Mom

From start to finish, what a GREAT experience! My 94 yo mom needed a place to stay for 2 weeks while we were gone. This was the perfect choice! The staff are incredibly friendly and caring. It shows on the faces of the residents as well. Everyone seemed happy and welcoming. We would definitely do this again and would also prioritize this facility if more long term care is needed. Thank you [name removed] and staff for being so wonderful!

Community Tour

We had a great tour. The woman who ran the place was incredible. I felt that she would have been a lot of the reason we might have chosen them. The facility had a small-town feeling, seemed super clean, and we witnessed them treating everybody with respect. It was not as grand or modern of a facility, but my first impression was a positive one.

Would recommend

The facility is very clean and everyone has been super friendly during our experience here so far. The food is repetitive, especially for breakfast so they could definitely add more of a variety to the menu. Overall we would recommend Oaks at Cedar Shoals to others looking.

so friendly and accommodating

The strongest quality that Morningside of Athens has is that they are so friendly and accommodating to the residents that live there. They really think about how things are going to affect them. For example, my dad had a lot of his family come to visit. When they left, someone from Morningside called me planning to do something special for my dad that afternoon, as he was feeling a little low and lonely after they left. So they just do things like that to go the extra mile, think of how things are affecting the residents, and proactively think of ways to make them happy.

Great Place!

Morningside of Athens is a wonderful place. It is a smaller facility with 40 suites. It is a lot more cheery than other places I visited (not so hospital like or dark and gloomy). The director Teresa is fabulous and did everything in her power to make things acceptable for my mother. I would highly recommend this facility to someone.

Mom's Stay

They were great for what my mom needed. She was never happy anywhere but the Morningside crew did their best. The facilities were very nice and clean. They offered many activities (which mom would not do) and the meals looked appetizing!! It was very convenient for us and we were able to visit all hours of the day. They tried to help mom feel good and they made sure she was up and dressed daily. We appreciate all they did!

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.
