Bell Minor Home sits at 2200 Old Hamilton Place in North Gainesville, Georgia, and holds 104 certified beds with a daily average of about 97 residents, offering both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care for older adults. The facility provides different types of care including skilled nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, pain management, dementia management, wound care management, and behavioral health services, with a focus on person-centered care that lets residents have choices about their daily life and routines. People can come for short stays after a hospital visit or live full-time when they need more support with everyday tasks, and there's also memory care for seniors living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, which often comes at a higher price, with the average reported cost around $275 a day.
Bell Minor Home offers assisted living services such as help with dressing, bathing, laundry, housekeeping, and meal programs, along with senior living options that might be part of a larger group including independent living, assisted living, and nursing care; however, the facility doesn't specify if independent living or residential care homes are present on-site. The staff includes experienced professionals like Kristin Griffin, RN MDS Coordinator, and Jessica Soto Goebel, Certified Nursing Assistant, and they're known for showing compassion, listening, and making residents feel welcome, while working in a team-focused, supportive environment. Leadership comes from James Andrews and Wellington Healthcare Services Lp, who have operated the home since 2007.
Residents and families get access to amenities like nutritious meals, comfortable living spaces, activities to help social, physical, and emotional well-being, and community events to stay connected with loved ones. The facility also provides specialized home care services, including companionship and non-medical support for those who want to live at home, plus memory care with trained staff in a safe environment for people who need extra support. There's a faith-based approach to care, and residents often see a team of dedicated professionals trying to match each person's healthcare needs.
