Benton House of Decatur

My mother has been living at this home since it opened. I had to move her from another facility which is just around the corner so I am able to compare the care. Hollie and her staff truly care about the residents and they timely respond to any concerns and questions. I can say that since she moved here I have not had to worry about her safety. We did not plan to move my mother again so as her care has increased, Hollie made sure she worked with us to find innovative ways to be able to continue giving her the care she needs.

We recently moved our dad into The Orchards at Benton House. It was a hard decision for us, but Hollie and her staff made the transition as smooth as possible. The staff in The Orchards have gone out of their way to welcome Dad into the community. They have been friendly and respectful. They have taken the time to get to know Dad and his interests. Thank you to Leah, Jasmine, Mimi, Aisha, Jay, Keisha, Daryl and all the staff of The Orchards.

Since the opening of Benton House and my Mom moved in, I have been very impressed with the staff. I can't say enough about how friendly and respectful all have been. Hollie, as Director, truly has the best interests of the residents in mind everyday. She is caring and responsive to families and residents. Jenny, as Activities Director, is one of the most loving people I have ever known. She works full speed everyday, giving her all to her work. I would like to thank all the staff. They have helped my Mom and me so much and I take comfort in knowing they are taking care of her.

This facility is very nice. It's clean and the staff is kind and very helpful. I really enjoyed everything about my experience. If you're looking for a place for your family member this is the place to consider for sure.

The Benton House of Decatur is DeKalb County's newest 'JEWEL' for the Senior Population. It should be called the Benton House Resort (smile). Whether your needs are Memory Care or Independent Living- your needs will be catered to. I have been part of the Benton House family since the doors opened to this wonderful establishment here in Decatur. Opening a new community as well as learning and getting to know each and every resident personally is a great task- but it is one that the BENTON HOUSE TEAM had a HUGE PASSION for. Our care is individualized to each and every one of our residents and we strive each and every day to give them the BEST quality care that we possibly can. We make it our duty to make our residents feel as though 'HOME' is where the heart is.. and to us THIS IS THEIR HOME! Everyone here is ONE BIG FAMILY and it shows- from the moment you walk in the door- you are greeted with warm smiles.. and often hugs- whether it's a member of the Management team or staff. The residents are happy and there is always something fun and exciting going on at BHD (Benton House Decatur). The care staff go above and beyond and they care for the residents as if it were their very own family member. Our Memory Care (Beacon) Neighborhood is the cream of the crop. Sabrina (Beacon Director) has years of experience and she is so awesome at what she does. The residents are engaged in awesome activities as well as outings. There are dedicated staff in this neighborhood who are passionate about caring for residents with memory impairments. Our Maintenance guy- RICK- does the coolest Elvis show in town- and the residents absolutely love it. When it comes to dining- Chef Kay and Ms. Linda will have you licking your fingers and asking for seconds (smile). Andrea our Community Relations Director makes sure that we deliver the care that she promises our families. Jenny our Activities Director keeps the residents active, vibrant, and full of fun-filled days. Joanie- our Business Office Director keeps everything in 'CHECK' (ha ha get it check- she's who you will submit your payments to each month). Oh and I almost forgot Katrice- the Resident Services Director (writer of this review)- she is awesome! LOL I have about 20 years in the Healthcare Industry and have a genuine passion for my residents. I go above and beyond for my residents each and everyday. They know that I am just a call away after I leave the community after work hours, but I will be there in a heartbeat if they need me. If you are looking for a great place for your loved one- Benton House of Decatur will not disappoint! I am not just saying it because I am a part of the TEAM- I am saying this because each and every single day- I witness 1st hand... our residents receive PURE, TRUE, and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE from the staff , families, staff, fellow residents and my other Management PEERS!
