Overall sentiment for George's Assisted Living is mixed but centers on a clear pattern: many reviewers praise the facility for its small, home-like environment, caring staff, attractive physical space and good food, while a smaller but vocal group reports serious problems with management, cleanliness, professionalism and value for cost.
Care quality and staff: Several reviewers emphasize warm, caring, and responsive caregivers. Specific staff members (for example Ms. Foreman) receive direct praise for being helpful and knowledgeable. A number of reviews describe residents as well cared for and content, and say the staff are amazing, communicative, and make families feel comfortable. Conversely, a subset of reviewers report rude or disrespectful behavior from staff and the director, using strong language ("nasty," "rude," "unprofessional"). This suggests inconsistency in staff performance or variable experiences depending on timing or personnel. Communication is likewise polarized: multiple reviewers highlight excellent communication and responsiveness, but others cite missed appointments and poor communication.
Facilities and accessibility: Positive comments focus on a bright, airy layout (cathedral ceiling and many windows), a large home feel, a lovely deck with outdoor dining in summer, and generally clean, well-kept, accessible spaces. These features contribute to a "homey" atmosphere that some visitors found immediately comfortable and recommend. However, cleanliness reports are inconsistent—while several reviewers call the place clean and well kept, others describe the house as filthy. The two-level layout is raised as a concern by at least one reviewer who worried about a resident's independence, indicating potential accessibility issues for those with mobility challenges.
Dining: Dining is one of the more consistently positive themes. Multiple reviews note well-balanced meals, meals tailored to residents' palates, and generally positive impressions of the food. Outdoor dining in good weather is also mentioned as a plus.
Activities and social life: The facility is described as a small residential community with friendly residents and some outings available. That said, limited social options are explicitly noted by some reviewers, indicating that activity programming may not meet every resident's expectations or needs. This points to a quieter environment that may suit those who prefer a less institutional setting but could be insufficient for residents seeking a more robust activity schedule.
Management, pricing and value: Price is a recurring concern—$2,800 is cited explicitly and several reviewers question whether the cost is justified. Opinions about management are sharply divided: some reviews call the director "wonderful," while others label the director "nasty" and the management unprofessional. Several reviewers explicitly say the service is not worth the price and one or more state they would not recommend the facility. Taken together, these comments suggest variability in leadership style, staffing, or operations that affects perceived value.
Notable patterns and recommendations for prospective families: The reviews show a polarized experience—many positive remarks about environment, food, and caring staff coexist with serious negative reports about professionalism, communication lapses, and cleanliness. Common, actionable concerns to clarify during a visit are private-room availability (room sharing was a repeated downside), cleanliness standards and inspection/cleaning schedules, staffing consistency and turnover, director and staff professionalism, communication policies (how appointments and changes are communicated), accessibility of the two-level layout, and detailed pricing/what is included for the reported $2,800 fee. Prospective families should tour multiple times, ask to meet caregiving staff, observe mealtimes and common areas, and get written answers about activities, staffing ratios, and contract terms to reconcile the polarized impressions found in these reviews.
In summary, George's Assisted Living appears to deliver a comfortable, home-like atmosphere with attractive spaces and generally well-liked meals and some very caring staff. However, variability in cleanliness, management behavior, communication, and perceived value means experiences differ substantially from family to family. Those considering the facility should verify the specific items that matter most to them (private rooms, staff professionalism, activity programming, accessibility, and exact costs) before making a decision.
