Summerset

Summerset Assisted Living sits at 3711 Benjamin E Mays Dr SW in the Fairburn Mays neighborhood of Atlanta and serves adults age 55 and older with a warm, family-focused approach where residents can choose from apartments, townhomes, single-family homes, or condos, all within a secure gated campus with outdoor patios, gardens, courtyards, a goldfish pond, fountains, and walking paths that make for pleasant views on daily strolls, and for those who like pets, some are allowed here, which is always nice for company. Residents get help through various care levels, including the Helping Hands and Tender Loving Care services, and can stay in studio or semi-private apartments, some with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, while the place itself offers both assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and other dementias including their "Memory Lane" program, adult day care and adult day healthcare, and short-term respite care for times when families need a break after surgery or illness. Utilities are included, and the rooms come wired for cable and internet, plus the grounds include parking, a garage, laundry, and housekeeping, which take chores off the list and allow more time for activities like Nintendo Wii bowling, musical groups, story time, arts and crafts, book discussions, cooking clubs, game nights, and even Tai Chi, and there are off-site trips to parks, museums, restaurants, or Emory University if someone wants a change of pace. Meals are prepared by chef staff and served in the restaurant-style dining room with nutrition in mind, and for snacks or hobbies, the communal areas bring people together indoors with a lounge, TVs, a library, beauty and barber services, a movie theater, and a recreation room for socializing, plus there are opportunities for personal and spiritual growth with religious, meditation, fellowship, and devotional programs in English, French, and Spanish, both onsite and offsite. Summerset provides skilled nursing and has a nurse on staff 24 hours, along with in-house pharmacy, medication administration, physical therapy, and help with daily living, which means residents get what they need while keeping as much independence as possible and aging in place with dignity. Safety stays front and center, with controlled access, emergency response systems, security staff, and access restrictions, including times with no visitors to protect health, as well as features that make living here easier for those using wheelchairs or walkers, like full tubs and roll-in showers. Transportation, both complimentary and at cost, helps with errands or doctor visits, the busline is close by, and financial help's also available, with options for cost assistance and guidance on VA benefits, including discounts for veterans and their spouses. Summerset's open traditional architecture, natural light, friendly staff, and social atmosphere have made it a steady presence in Atlanta for over 20 years, reliable for families needing different care types like short-term respite, adult day programs to provide stimulating daytime oversight, reliable memory care, active recreation, and personal support, with everything geared toward comfort, safety, and letting folks enjoy their later years among friends and helpful caregivers.
