Haven Memory Care of Athens, LLC sits on an 11-acre campus surrounded by hardwoods in northeast Georgia, and the single-story building is shaped like a large square, which helps residents find their way around easier without feeling lost or confused, and the soft neutral colors and well-lit halls aim to give a calming and comfortable place for folks who may have Alzheimer's or other dementias. This place specializes in memory care, with staff that includes nurses, personal care assistants, and wound care specialists, and holds a license as a Personal Care Home (PCH009362), starting in 2024, and is locally owned and operated, which means families can get answers to their concerns a bit quicker than with some bigger places. People find a friendly, Southern-style welcome here, and there's a focus on working closely with families, so appointments, tours, paperwork, and moving in can go more smoothly, with Lisa Brown as the contact name connected to everything.
Residents get individualized care plans for their physical and cognitive needs, including help with bathing, getting dressed, room cleaning, medication management, and even things like help walking or using a wheelchair, so folks can keep as much independence as they're able, and there's choice between private, semi-private, single, double, or multi-bed rooms, all with Wi-Fi, cable TV, and access to laundry, linen, and housekeeping services, and the whole property is handicap accessible with safety features like sprinklers. The care staff here have extra training in dementia, and the building uses an environment meant to help people living with memory loss, including security measures and layouts to lower the chance of wandering, and the nurses and care partners run programs like Reflections, which is for folks needing Level 3 Direct Care, sometimes including hospice or in-home therapies too, with visits from physical, occupational, or psychiatric therapists, so there's a wide range of support on site.
The dining room runs restaurant-style and all meals handle special diets like diabetic, low salt, or low fat meals, and residents can jump into social events-arts and crafts, music therapy, warm hand massages, pet therapy, nature walks, garden activities, and educational classes fill the calendar, and the full-time activity team creates daily memory care routines so everyone's got a reason to be active if they want. There's a fitness room, hot tub, full-service salon, and outdoor garden for relaxing or group activities when the weather's good, and people in the community say the staff know a lot about dementia care and go out of their way to help both residents and visiting families feel supported.
Haven Memory Care mainly serves seniors with memory impairments, including Alzheimer's and Lewy Body dementia, and stays focused on person-centered care with programs made just for folks facing cognitive or behavioral challenges, and respite care is available as well, so families needing a break can find help here. The place doesn't offer skilled nursing like a hospital would, but covers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home services, and there's pet therapy, walking assistance, and medication reminders too. The community stays family-oriented and open for tours, and shows all the amenities, living spaces, and care routines during visits, and makes sure each resident can reach their highest level of comfort and dignity in a setting where memories are appreciated and seniors have a peaceful place to live in Athens, Georgia.
