Starcrest Of Cartersville Inc sits at 196 N Dixie Ave in Cartersville and serves as a nursing home for seniors who need different levels of care as they age, and the place actually has a bit of history since the community used to be Cartersville Hospital and now it provides elder care solutions with rooms for assisted living, personal care, rehabilitation, memory care, and hospice all in the same facility, so folks living there don't have to move out as their care needs grow. Staff are on-site 24 hours a day and help residents in whatever way they need, including things like wheelchair transfers using lifts, diabetic support where nurses will help check insulin levels, help for those with major memory issues or who need reminders to use the restroom, and support for those needing long-term recovery or rehab after a hospital stay. There's an Evercare program and a beauty shop onsite, plus common rooms and indoor spaces where people gather, eat, and take part in activities put on by three dedicated activity staff, and the community also has on-site meal service so meal prep isn't something residents have to worry about, and there are volunteers from the local area who spend time with folks living there, which can be important for seniors away from family.
Residents get help with daily care, including help with using the bathroom, getting dressed, and taking medicines, and there's a focus on making the place safe for those who can't walk on their own, with wheelchair accessible showers and non-ambulatory care equipment for folks who need extra assistance. There are devotional services off-site for those interested, and the facility gives out support for seniors staying active and social, with staff always encouraging movement and activities appropriate for different health situations, so there's no reason to feel isolated.
Starcrest Of Cartersville also runs training programs for those wanting to become CNAs, with classroom and hands-on learning, and they're approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing for CNA instruction, with the usual requirements like 75 to 85 hours of training, background checks, and exam retakes if needed, and some students can get clinical training at partner institutions across Georgia such as Emory Healthcare, Piedmont Healthcare, Georgia Piedmont Technical College, and other nearby colleges and hospitals.
The facility has its own flower delivery service with arrangements for all kinds of occasions, so if someone needs a birthday bouquet, a sympathy arrangement, wedding flowers, or even special event corsages and boutonnieres for things like proms or graduations, those are available right at the community, and they offer free delivery, same-day service, and both luxury and affordable options under $50 with online ordering. Flowers like roses, lilies, tulips, carnations, orchids, and sunflowers can be chosen, and they also do special requests, like Floral Harmony, Dreaming of Tuscany, and My Sun, Moon and Stars, which makes it a bit nicer for people who want to brighten up their room or mark a special occasion like an anniversary, get well, or memorial gathering, and knowing there's on-site floral services helps families find a way to connect even when they're far away.
There's a focus on keeping life comfortable and straightforward for seniors at Starcrest Of Cartersville, with support for aging in place, dedicated staff, on-site and delivered services, and all the basics needed for a safe, supportive, and friendly environment without too much fuss.
