I was able to tour Arabella of Athens. It's a very nice facility and very well run. It's fairly close to home also. It's a very clean and very well-maintained facility. They are very accommodating. It was quite remarkable for what they could do, and it's a small enough community that I think the client would get good care. The marketing director was very knowledgeable and very helpful. This was her day off, but she accommodated us; we appreciated that. We couldn't see inside the room. They didn't have one that was available to look at, but the layout is nice. They have housekeeping and everything right there, so it really makes it nice. They have a whole activity board. They have something daily for their clients. I didn't take particular note, knowing that my mom is not a real social person; they do have a lot of activities and outdoor areas for the seniors.

Arabella of Athens was very nice. But at this time, they did not have an opening for anybody at memory care. Overall, it was excellent. They were very clean, they were very nice and they were very helpful in giving us information about the place. The lady that took us on the tour, showed us everything there. It was just nice. When we saw the residents, it looked like they were happy. The staff was very knowledgeable. It looked like they knew the residents by name, when they met somebody they called them by name.

I like everything about Arabella of Athens. I like the location and the staff, and the food is excellent. The people here are pretty nice. It's a great facility, it's clean, and it's well kept. We have an ice-cream parlor and a very nice dining room. There's a fishing pond, games, and that kind of thing. We play games with other people, like mini-tournaments. I'm quite satisfied.

Arabella of Athens was very pretty. It's in a rural environment, and it had well-kept grounds. The inside of the facility was very nice, modern, and clean. They had nice amenities. The staff was very professional and did a good job of answering my questions. They had a movie theater, a nice dining room, and a meeting area. The rooms were small, but adequate. The menu looked very good and had a good variety. The staff talked about some of the activities that were available. There was a bible study every day in the morning, movie nights, and ice cream socials. They could have done a better job of explaining to me what all of the activities were in a little more detail.

Arabella of Athens assisted living is very nice and well-kept. The rooms are larger and have a separate bedroom versus what my mom has now. The place is not very old. They have cards, movie theatre, hair salon, craft room, and a gym. The lady I met with there was nice and very informative. The dining area was nice and like a restaurant. They had a garden area.

Arabella of Athens was nice, welcoming, and clean. Everybody was friendly and offered us what we were looking for. The rooms had a separate bedroom and backdoors to an outside porch which was nice. They had a beauty shop, shopping excursions, flower arrangements, cards, and a little ice cream parlor. They have assistance with medication and dressing, and a doctor on the premises. They offered three meals a day. The staff was very nice, friendly, and answered questions.

Our experience at Arabella of Athens has been very positive. My parents are a resident of the place now. All of the staff that works there is very attentive and friendly. We couldn’t ask for a better experience. The place is beautiful and clean. We are very pleased with it. They do have different activities like games and movies. They have their own movie theatre. They have ice cream parlor. They also do crafts. Every single person that lives there loves it and they are extremely nice.
