The Retreat at Cascade is a senior living community in Atlanta, Georgia, at 1001 Research Center Atlanta Dr SW, with services for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite stays, and it's set up as a 2-story building with studio, two-bedroom, and semi-private rooms where each one has large windows, ceiling fans, and controls for air conditioning, and there's also a 24-hour emergency alert system throughout the property, which helps keep everyone safe if there's trouble, and in the memory care building, staff can supervise residents at all hours and they use bracelets to stop any wandering because sometimes folks with memory problems may want to leave, so there are alarms and secure areas that help keep people safe, and even those with behavioral challenges or exit-seeking behaviors can stay because the community is equipped to handle it.
There's always a nurse on staff and a doctor on call, plus visiting healthcare professionals like podiatrists, dentists, and therapists, and medication help is available for those who need reminders or management, including services for people with diabetes, where staff can do blood sugar checks and even give insulin shots, and there's plenty of support for daily routines, like help with bathing, dressing, or keeping track of medications, and staff can remind residents about using the restroom for those who have bladder or bowel troubles. Residents with cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer's and dementia live in the Signature Memory Care Neighborhood, which is made for safety and comfort, and they get personalized care plans.
The community has indoor and outdoor spaces for activities, including a dining room with wood-style floors and soft lighting, common areas with cozy furniture and a fireplace, activity rooms for games and exercise, a lobby that looks out at the yard, and landscaped grounds where folks can sit or garden when the weather's nice, and there's a full-time activity director planning things each day, so there are plenty of options - arts, brain fitness, cooking classes, community service, gardening, educational programs, exercise classes, and trips out, with intergenerational activities sometimes too, and devotional services both on and offsite for those who want to attend.
Meals are prepared by a chef and served in a communal dining space, with guest meals allowed and options for special diets like gluten-free, low or no sugar, no sodium, and vegan meals, and there are private dining rooms for family visitors and room service if someone wants to dine alone. The amenities cover beautician services, wheelchair-friendly showers, housekeeping, weekly linen service, laundry, Wi-Fi, and a pet-friendly policy for both cats and dogs, plus salon services and spaces for socializing or relaxing.
Transportation can be provided for appointments and outings for an additional cost, but there's also resident parking if someone still drives, and the property meets legal protections for LGBTQ residents. Emergency response systems are everywhere so help is never far, and the staff try to engage every resident in daily life and conversation, working towards a safe, supportive, and active environment for seniors of all needs, where people can settle in, find companionship, and live as independently as possible while getting the help they need with daily life. The Retreat at Cascade doesn't have any listings for sale or rent on Trulia, suggesting it's off the market for now.
