Manchester Court Assisted Living and Memory Care sits in Milstead, Georgia, about 1.5 miles from Rockdale Medical Center, and has both assisted living and a memory care section set aside in its own building for people with Alzheimer's and dementia. This senior living community is licensed by the state of Georgia and offers care for up to 70 residents. Staff members, including RNs, LPNs, and caregiving aides, are on-site all day and night to help with everyday needs like medication management, bathing, dressing, hygiene, grooming, and transferring, and they do regular resident assessments so care plans can be updated when needs change. The home gives special attention to people with memory problems by using a secure area, technology such as bracelets with alarms to prevent wandering, and trained staff ready to help those prone to physical or exit-seeking behavior, and the memory care building can care for those who need a 1- or 2-person assist, or even lifts, if needed. Residents can pick studio apartments or companion suites, they get three meals a day made by a chef onsite, and the menu has options for special diets like vegetarian, low sodium, or low sugar, and there's an option for private or shared dining and anytime dining for snacks. The whole property stays clean thanks to weekly housekeeping, laundry, and linen services, and rooms come with cable TV and WiFi. The beauty shop, barber, and salon services are all available onsite.
There's a real focus on keeping folks busy and social with activities run by a full-time activities director, offering things like music, games, storytelling, yoga, Tai Chi, Wii sports, gardening, art classes, cooking sessions, brain fitness, book club, religious services, karaoke, trivia, and trips around town. Residents can join clubs, enjoy parties and events in the community room with a TV, or visit landscaped gardens and outdoor patios with walking paths. There's both devotional and spiritual support, and plenty of ways to stay fit and active, or just relax. Manchester Court arranges outings, provides on-site medical care like visits from physicians, nurses, podiatrists, and therapists, offers pharmacy service, helps with diabetic care (though residents need to manage their own insulin injections if needed), and has hospice and respite care for those who need it. Free transportation for appointments and shopping is offered, parking's available, and it's all pet-friendly, so residents can bring a dog or cat. The facility accepts people dealing with major behavioral issues in memory care, uses technology and trained staff to keep everyone safe, and keeps a strong focus on supporting independence as much as possible. Manchester Court gets described as a calm, active, and community-focused place that stays flexible, welcoming both short and long stays, and pays close attention to each person's interests, needs, and well-being.
