The Retreat at Canton

The Retreat at Canton sits in Canton, Georgia, tucked away on East Cherokee Drive but still only minutes from local shops and restaurants so folks can easily get out and about when they want to. This place offers different types of care, including assisted living, memory care called Signature Memory Care, respite care for short stays, and even skilled nursing for folks who need more hands-on help. Residents can get help with dressing, bathing, grooming, and medication, plus daily care is tailored to each person's needs, which seems to mean everyone gets what they need without a fuss. Staff follow the Live, Love, Learn wellness approach, which pays attention to six areas of life-like thinking, feelings, physical health, work, faith, and friendships-so people don't feel left out or bored. You'll find exercise classes, arts and crafts, game rooms, social clubs, and a big schedule of activities, with both indoor spaces (like a media room and a library) and outdoor spaces (like a courtyard walking trail, koi pond, and even a firepit with plenty of rocking chairs) that are easy to enjoy. There's a giant fireplace and a baby grand piano in the common area, and the rooms include walk-in showers, cable TV, utilities, and a thermostat in every room so folks can stay comfortable. The community holds church services on Sundays and hosts both onsite and offsite devotional services, so spiritual needs are met. Meals can be eaten together in a dining room, out on the patio, or in the onsite bistro for something lighter, and the kitchen serves chef-prepared meals daily. Skilled help like occupational, physical, or speech therapy is available on site, and the emergency call system in each room adds a bit of peace of mind. Staff make sure residents stay connected by organizing outings, special events, and social clubs, so there is always something to do. Folks living with memory loss or dementia have access to specialized care, and there are signature programs and activities made just for them. For people who just need a break or some extra help after an illness or surgery, The Retreat at Canton offers respite stays too. Amenities cover WiFi, laundry, transportation, business center, salon, and landscaped grounds. The executive team and staff treat everyone like family and focus on providing care that encourages independence while still keeping everyone safe and engaged. The Retreat at Canton is part of Phoenix Senior Living and a member of the Georgia Senior Living Association since 2021, and with its connection to educational programs, it's always working toward higher care standards. The place really gives off a small-town feel with fancy touches while making sure older adults can live as independently and fully as they're able, and with so many levels of care under one roof, it works for people with different needs.
