Benton House of Douglasville

My mother moved into Benton House of Douglasville in November. It has been a safe and productive place for her. The staff is very caring and knowledgeable. The food is pretty diverse and appealing. The place is very clean, kept up, open, and very friendly. They do arts and crafts, and music, and they have people come in occasionally. They have a lot going on and they keep them active. I just have the peace of mind that someone else is in charge and accountable, and looking over her well-being every day.

I liked Benton House of Douglasville. If they would have had a lesser time frame for respite care (they had two weeks), that would have been my preference for mom. They were very friendly and professional. I was impressed with their demeanor. I was very comfortable and happy there. I liked that it's all on one level and how the rooms were arranged. I think they were a little bit pricier and somewhat smaller in some ways, but they were nice accommodations. The rooms were clean and neat. They're not old stuff. You could feel comfortable going there or having your loved ones out there.

My mother moved into the Benton House of Douglasville. We're very pleased with the location and staff. We feel like they provide a very home-type environment for their residents. They have quite a few different activities and other things that they involve with it. The staff was informative. The environment is very friendly and warm. We just have a good experience right now. Their meal planning seems to be very nutritious and enjoyable. It's very well done, very colorful, and healthy at the same time. They seemed to be very involved with the patient. In an effort to bring them into their environment and residency so that they would feel comfortable. I can tell that they tried to treat them individually and not as a group, so that was very important to us. The building itself is very nice. They had different living situations, and we chose the private. They do have two common areas. They are separated by the memory care and assisted living unit because they try to provide what each one of those categories of lifestyle would include.

A loved one has moved into Benton House of Douglasville. We chose it, one, because it's within ten miles of my home, and I'm my cousin's main caregiver; that was important. Two, they had the largest ratio of nursing assistants or nurses on duty to patients. It's about one in ten, which I felt was very good. They seem very adequate. I have had others who I have known who have loved ones there; they're happy with it. So that told me a lot as well. The staff are all qualified and seem to do a good job, but I'd give them a three because I don't know all the staff yet. She is not particularly happy with the food, and she would like a larger menu or a bigger menu selection. We do feel, however, that they're adequate in the way that they offer menu assistance with no high sugar and no salt because she does have heart issues and diabetes. So, they work on that piece. They really only offer selection with their entrees. They don't offer selection with vegetables or other parts of their food. They have a person who does the activities daily. They do exercise classes every day, they play bingo every day, or at least four days a week, they give out papers to do crossword puzzles, and they go through a listing of what they offer each day, as well as current events that are going on in the world each day to help the residents sort of understand what day of the week it is and that kind of thing. They have a game room. Right now, they're having COVID, so no one's allowed in again, but they were doing things maybe one or two days a week where they would have someone come in from outside and they would have a music hour, or a group come in and have a sing along, and those kinds of things.

I have been to Benton House of Douglasville. It's a senior living facility, it was very nice, and it was very good. We visited our church family at dinner time, it looked wonderful, the table had tablecloths, and it was very nice, and very clean. The apartment was very nice, it had a little breakfast area, it was very nice, and everything was very clean. They had a kitchenette.

The rooms at Benton House of Douglasville were really nice; it's pretty large. The memory care has their own common area. They were eating lunch went I went through. It's very clean, very modern, it looked like a new building, and the parking was good. The residents can sit outside, but you pay for what you get, and the price was too much. The staff was helping the residents and talking with them, so you can see they have patience and that they knew what they were doing.
