Welcome home mom

The food is great prepared by an experienced chef who was a cruise ship chef for 30 years. Thank you for recommending Sandford Estates! We couldn't have asked for a better place for mom!

Initial interviews attractive but not accurate. Problems getting TV set up, getting consistent hot water which I need for my back, and worst of all, the food. Chef does well when he has adequate help and supplies come. It is not enough that its good maybe 3 to 4 times a week and like tonight I am left hungry. Menu called for a basket of wings and dips. The wings the poorest quality soaked in honey mustard sauce too spicy for me. Not edible. Asked for a sandwich and received freezer bread, tomato, soft bacon and some lettuce. Not good but edible. Also some broken chips. Desert was from yesterday and delicious. There was a very nice cream soup to start. I don't eat much and what I got was most adequate. I can't imagine how some of the large people manage. There are long gaps between soup and meal with nothing to do. The only remedy is for the meal being prepared and ready to serve after soup. 30 to 40 minutes is a lot of time for old people. I don't know what you can do about this but from visiting many places for my parents I know they are out there and want new residents.

It's a great place, food is good, plenty activities if you want to participate. Staff is friendly and helpful. Always clean and well kept up. I do not know places to compare it too , but when I am a ready to downside I would love to find a place like this.

Nestled among beautiful homes and apartments with lots of greenery off Holcomb Bridge Road and Scott Road, follow the brick, less than 2 miles from Georgia 400, Sanford Estates Gracious Retirement Living [removed] at 500 Walton Way, Roswell, GA 30076, is a vibrant independent living community of apartments that has been my home for nearly a year. Staff members are accommodating and kind, residents are welcoming and respectful. The general areas are kept immaculate and are beautifully appointed.Three Michelin* meals are served daily in the dining room, housekeeping is provided once a week, shuttle bus service is provided 2 days a week to local stores, 2 days for trips to the doctors, and an outing every Wednesday. Lots of opportunities to relax and have fun, including Bingo, Pokeno, Mexican Train Dominoes, social hours, crafts, movie theater, pool table, large flat screen TV, and puzzle room. I feel safe here, outside doors are locked around 9p and it's very quiet around that time for a good night's sleep! I've-fallen-and-can't-get-up pendant is issued to all residents. Should an emergency arise, the managers live onsite and are available 24/7. If more care is needed, reminders to take pills, help with laundry, a company on the premises can arrange for that type of fee-based care or outside help can be hired.

The meals and dining is rated a 3 because of the high staff turnover. The staff is really nice. Family vibe. The food is an issue, kitchen/chef turnover. They have a new crew, hope that helps. Yes, we would recommend the community to other families.

Good price. You get the basics. They have a history of high overturn that they're currently "working on". What was most important to us was proximity to us. 3-5 minutes But all utilities are included, backup generator and people are "around". Our loved one really likes her apt which is a newer one. But once you step out her door, kind of a time warp. But clean.

Sanford has been a good experience so far. As with every other place there have been bumps in the road but they are quick to address issues and have supplied a stable living experience.

The staff were good friendly and helpful. Some of the cleaning ladies were treated rudely by the residents. Too many wheel chairs for this not to be assisted living. Thought it was strange that so many were on the 3rd floor and often wondered how they would get down the stairs if there was a fire or other emergency. Washers and dryers were worn and did not function properly. That was one of the reasons mom wanted to leave. Bus that picked up residents had no wheelchair lift so those residents were left to find other means of transportation. Guest bathroom downstairs needed some work. Restrooms were always very clean but toilet lid was not seated properly and soap dispenser was broken. One maintenance man for that large of a complex might not be enough. So it takes some time before he can come by unless it is an emergency. Some of these items might have already been addressed but overall the experience at the facility was positive and in the scheme of things the above comments were just observations from mom. Food was good, staff was good, cleanliness was good. I think mom just didn't feel like she fit in well with some of the residents. Lol At 87 she is pretty set in her ways too!

My loved one was previously a resident at Sanford Estates. Overall, I would recommend Sanford Estates to others. There was turnover with the person running the facility, which I hated to see. Also, the food is pretty bad.

The facility needs a lot of upgrades. Roaches and ants need to be taken care of. The kitchen staff is great but management not so friendly. Based off of my loved ones experience, we would not recommend this facility to others looking.

Staff is friendly and helpful and go the extra mile to accommodate my mother (for example helping her log-on to her personal computer). My mother is very happy there, only complaint is that some meals are good and some very average.

There was some staff overturn but they were all lovely. My dad loved the food. The memorial service they organized for my dad was beautiful. The people so warm and friendly. My dad was so sad he wasn’t going to be able to go back there. He knew he’d die in the hospital because the lungs were failing. They had onsite care but we only used it once or twice. He did do PT for his spine with the PT there and he loved her and it helped.

My father in law has made a complete turn around and is doing fantastic The faculty was very helpful during move in and welcoming. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. My father in law was lonely and sick and is now healthy and flourishing at Sanford Estates. The residents were welcoming also. He wasn't forced to get involved but gently nudged. The other day he when to "yarn and yak" and made everyone in attendance laugh when he said he was just there for the "yakking".

Staff and the facility were very accommodating for my mom. One evening she was tired and didn't feel like going down for dinner .. so they brought it up to her apartment! Very accommodating getting her apartment ready for her before the move in as well. Everything we asked to have done was handled. They had various sizes of apartments. I don't recall the exact # of sizes/shapes but after looking at 4 or 5, we found 1 that fit my mom's needs. It came with a kitchenette and had a good amount of storage space. Also had help alarms though out the apartment.

All around it’s a good experience. The turnover rate is extremely high. I’ve lived here almost 1 1/2 year. Sanford Estates had been through a lot of trials but the staff that has remained has made it enjoyable to stick around. New management every few months. Food is average. Portions are either too small or too big. Some servers are friendly others are rude.

Staff Is very friendly and welcoming and the facility, while older, is very clean and inviting. Staff will also go out of their way to accommodate my mother and go the extra mile to take care of her. Apartments are not large but big enough for my mother's needs. The bathroom and bedroom is a nice size and the partial kitchen and living room are small. It is cute and motivates one to be organized due to the limited space. Windows overlooking the outdoors gives it the feeling of being bigger than it really is.
