Dogwood Forest of Grayson is considered one of the top assisted living communities in Gwinnett County! Our community includes top amenities for residents, including a wellness center, bistros, full-service dining, salon, tavern and movie theatre. Our exterior spaces include healthful outdoor herb gardens, a walking trail, and an outdoor fireplace which can all be seen from premium apartment porches and communal porticos located on multiple levels throughout the community.
In addition to the provided amenities, Dogwood Forest, a locally operated brand, believes in purpose-built environments and is dedicated to providing a true sense of community for our senior residents. Our communities encourage a sense of independence and foster cognitive stimulation. With a foundational faith-based belief in biblical concepts such as the trilogy, Dogwood Forest embraces the centering of mind, body and especially spirit; which we believe is instrumental to a person’s well-being. That’s why we offer a wide variety of different community events in which our residents can take part. These include a plethora of social activities including art and exercise classes, spiritually-centered activities, volunteering and all the other freedoms that typically come with living on your own, but with the security in knowing someone is there to provide assistance if needed.

Our Grayson community features 99 total units. This includes 74 assisted living and 25 memory care apartments. It also features a beautiful stone facade, effectively disguise the steel infrastructure within. Many other living communities use other building materials because steel is expensive. However, we chose steel because it protects our residents in case of fire by isolating/containing the fire in one area
Our environments are clinically proven to produce positive outcomes for our senior residents.

  • Overall good community, but the staff work directly with residents needs significant improvement

    We think there is a team of about 5 different directors, all are very very nice, very supportive and we do think the place overall is clean and looks very nice. However, the day to day staff members who interact with the residents do a poor job. They do not look to try to help, they look to try and figure out ways to not help. They try to get out of situations as fast as possible, avoid helping which has become very frustrating to our loved one and family. The management understands the issues and we do know like many other communities they are struggling with staffing so to their credit they are doing okay, but we hope in the near future as the work environment improves, the staff improves as well. A big positive is that they are very pet friendly, our loved one has a service dog which they are very accommodating with, and there are about 6 other dogs in the community and even a house dog that walks around with the residents.

  • I have only visited Dogwood Forest as I am looking for a place for my aunt and uncle. I have not made any appointments at this time, but I did want to brag on Miss [name removed] who was sitting at the front desk. She was very personable, very knowledgable, and could not have been any nicer! We WILL be back because of Miss [name removed]! Thank you!

  • Only Major Issue Is The TV

    We understand that with any brand new community there are always going to be things that just don't go according to plan but having an ongoing issue with the tv is a concern. My parents have been there a little over there a month and have had issues with the tv not working correctly and it seems the community hasn't gotten it straightened out yet. Dad and mom keep busy for the most part with the activities and social hours but they still like their tv that is what they are used to. The only thing I think keeping them here is the food it is delicious. The staff is friendly and nice but a little understaffed. Hopefully they will increase it as more residents come to live here.
