1137 Lynmoor Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30319, United States
My mother transferred here from memory care and assisted living after a fall that caused multiple fractures prohibited her from returning there. Having experienced the mayhem of corporate nursing homes during rehab stays, my siblings and I were determined to find a place for mom where she could receive individual care in a natural, home-like setting. After 6 moves in 3 years, we wanted the move to Safe Haven to be her last. Mom really did respond to the calm and loving environment there. She regained limited mobility, and enjoyed meals of home-cooked food at the dining room table. Although advanced dementia limited her ability to converse, she remained responsive to family and staff. We enjoyed visiting, especially when the weather was nice for walks outside or time in the garden. Of course no one knows your loved one better than you do, so advocacy for them is still vital. But stringent hiring typically maintained capable and empathetic caregivers. We owe a tremendous debt to Detra, the house manager. She is utterly devoted to each resident and does whatever is necessary as needs arise. She was quick to text or call if there were any concerns or questions. Her years of experience helped guide our family through those final months with comfort. I cannot think of any place else that my mother or family would have received such personal care.

Safe Haven is simply put, the cream of the crop when it comes to elder care. My father had a number of complex mobility and memory care issues and he received top notch care from Detra, the head caregiver, and her wonderful team. Our family was enveloped in the loving Safe Haven community created and overseen by Alla. Alla's philosophy of providing first-rate care with dignity and class is a treasure and something that I have not seen anywhere else (and believe me I have looked far and wide). I only wish there were more locations all around the country, but I also know that this is a very special place that cannot be replicated. Safe Haven is a place for anyone who needs a safe, supportive environment but doesn't want to abandon the comforts of home. It doesn't feel like a facility, even though they have the capability to handle residents in the same way a facility does. Safety and well-being is top of mind but it's also a beautiful place for families to visit and spend precious moments.
My family is so grateful that a place like Safe Haven exists. When you are faced with the decision of how to best care for a loved one, outside of your home, it feels like it's the biggest decision you may ever have to make. Somehow we found Safe Haven in our internet searches. Once we met with Alla, we knew this was the place for my Mom. Simply put, Safe Haven provides not only the highest quality care, but peace of mind that your loved one is safe, respected and loved. My mother was there for 7 mos and was part of their family from day 1. The caregivers at Safe Haven are extraordinary people, who do selfless work. My family is extremely grateful to everyone there for loving my mother and caring for her, like we would care for her, until her last days. Thank you so much!
My mother was a resident of Safe Haven, Lenox Park, from December 2020-May 2022. We moved her here from a facility in VA after my dad passed. When she arrived she was unable to walk, even with a walker. Within one month of living at Safe Haven, she was able to walk with assistance or a walker. The level of care she received at Safe Haven was outstanding. They really care about the residents and treat them like they are members of their families. The residents ate their meals “family style” and they were treated with respect and dignity. When my mother would visit our house on weekends, she would tell us she was ready to go home (not the facility!) when she was tired. We give Safe Haven the highest accolades for how they took care of our mother and highly recommend it to anyone considering a long term care facility.
I was moving my father from out of state to Atlanta and had looked at numerous places for him to live. The minute I visited Safe Haven I knew I had found the right place. My father had dementia and numerous other medical conditions and the professional and knowledgable staff knew how to care for and help him (and me) to address many challenges with kindness and respect. Alla and Detra lead the team of caregivers with years of experience. But Safe Haven is about more than efficency and competent care. The house is truly a home for the residents and the caregivers really do care about the people living there. Each person is a valued individual and is always treated with respect and compassion as are family members. (And family is always welcomed and encouraged to visit.) I felt so comfortable with the care he received which is such a blessing. My father passed away earlier this year. I am so grateful to the wonderful people at Safe Haven for the way they cared for, respected and enjoyed my father.
