Alternative Residential Option sits quietly in a residential neighborhood in Barnesville, Georgia, where the community is small, with only nine assisted living units and just a handful of residents, and everybody gets to know each other in a close-knit way, which helps residents feel safe and comfortable, especially since the staff is always on hand day and night with licensed nurses, caregivers, and even a registered nurse available 24/7 to help with things like medication, bathing, dressing, getting out of bed, or moving around, and they keep track of health needs with regular doctor check-ups, health assessments, and even sometimes a massage therapist stops by. This place offers both assisted living and alternative residential care, meaning you might see memory care for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's, with secure spaces set up so nobody wanders off, and there are special programs and activities made for memory support-like arts and crafts, games, fitness classes, and daily entertainment-which keeps people busy, sharp, and gives families some peace of mind. Residents here don't have to worry about chores, since housekeeping, laundry, and upkeep get handled, and the chef prepares all the meals, offering options for people with diabetes or food allergies, and there's always help with feeding if someone needs it, whether that means spoon-feeding or reminders to eat. The apartments come in different sizes-there are studios, one-bedroom units, and some shared apartments-all furnished and equipped with emergency alert pendants and call systems, and the grounds are wheelchair-friendly, featuring walking paths, gardens, and outdoor sitting areas so people can get fresh air or do a bit of gardening if they like. Every apartment has access to Wi-Fi, telephone and cable TV, and the whole place has that homey feel, with a dining room for shared meals, big TV screens for movie nights, a computer room, places for fitness, and things like a barber and on-site grooming. Pets are welcome, and families can join for gatherings and birthday parties, or meet with family support groups right inside the community, which helps everyone stay connected. Residents can get transportation to doctor's appointments and shopping, too, and the staff helps coordinate with health providers so no one misses an appointment, plus they offer move-in help, home maintenance, and will even help people relocate if their needs change. There's a strong focus on safety, so the grounds are secure and the emergency alert system is always ready, and special care is available for folks living with mobility problems, speech or occupational therapy needs, memory issues, or diseases like Parkinson's, making it a place where people can stay comfortable, get the help they need, stay active and social, and enjoy a maintenance-free life even as their needs change over time. Alternative Residential Option offers all this in Barnesville, and operates both the Alternative Residential Option I and II, each keeping the community small for a more personal feel.
