How the scorecards work

Ratings and review counts come from public Google data on the date shown; the starting rate comes from Renaissance on Peachtree’s website. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated the community, set against the others here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people carries more weight than one from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently reviews are still arriving. These numbers are not an assessment of care, so tour and ask questions in person. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does senior living cost in Atlanta? (2026)
