The Retreat at Sandy Springs

Sadly… unexpectedly the owners of the community blindsided everyone by closing. Retreat was such a special place and a hidden gem among assisted living communities. The staff and executive director truly cared. What they did crushed us. I would never trust a Phoenix community again. Such a terrible thing they did to everyone. Literally 3 weeks after we moved in they told everyone they were closing. Someone moved in the day before. The owners didn’t even have the decency to let their staff know. Such a shame. I can’t express how happy I am that we found Retreat. We recently moved our mom in and she is thriving. Tammie, the Executive Director, and everyone that works with her care deeply for the residents. They create engaging activities, are warm and compassionate in their interactions - it’s such a blessing to be surrounded by so much love and care. My mom had started to really shrink in her last community. In the few days she’s been at Retreat she is LIVING and expanding - not just existing. We are grateful for the extra help and attentiveness to her needs. I can’t recommend Retreat highly enough.

My husband and I stopped by this assisted living facility for a tour. We have a friend who is looking for a one bedroom apartment. The executive director, Tammie Barker and her staff were wonderful. She gave us an excellent tour and an overview of the facility services. They have wonderful adult activities and my friend, if she chooses this facility would be comfortable and cared for here. Definitely 5 stars.

The Canoe Kids event this past Thursday was such a heartwarming and well-organized experience. Held at a senior living community, it brought together kids and seniors in a truly meaningful way. The activities were fun, age-appropriate, and thoughtfully planned to encourage connection and smiles all around. It was clear that both the children and the residents really enjoyed themselves. A big thank you to everyone involved for creating such a special and positive atmosphere—we’d gladly participate again!
