Belair At Macon is a small senior living community with only six beds in its assisted living area, so folks get personalized care and attention in a more home-like setting, and it sits on 2.75 acres with both indoor and outdoor common spaces where residents can gather or relax when they want a little company or peace and quiet. The facility provides many types of care, including assisted living, memory care for people facing Alzheimer's or dementia, nursing home services, hospice, respite care for short stays, and even independent living options for more active seniors who like a bit of help but still want their own apartment or condo-style space. Staff stays awake and ready 24 hours a day, and they can help with getting dressed, bathing, hygiene, and taking care of bathroom needs, plus they assist with diabetic care and incontinence; sometimes they can help with insulin injections and transfers if someone needs two people, but that requires checking first.
Residents get three homemade meals each day, with changes made for dietary concerns like high blood pressure or diabetes, and the chef aims to make the dishes nutritious as well as tasty. Amenities include a traveling hairdresser, onsite beautician, cable and internet plans set up for seniors, and a choice of rooms (studio, semi-private, or one-bedroom), with showers that work for wheelchairs. For play and activities, there's music therapy, animal therapy, board games, movie nights, daily schedules that keep people moving and talking, book rooms, workout spaces, a garden, a sauna, and group devotional services both inside the facility and out in the community, so everybody gets a chance for social and spiritual time. The staff helps arrange trips, provides free rides to doctor visits, errands, or church, and even lets outside smoking in designated spots, and pets can stay with their owners.
The facility has various safety features for residents, including medicine dispensers and alert systems, and they offer information about keeping homes and identities secure, along with hearing aid resources. Memory care residents are kept safe with secured areas that keep them from wandering off, and staff helps where possible with managing confusion or memory trouble. Licensed by the state of Georgia and regulated by the Department of Social Services, Belair At Macon accepts men and women, supports private pay, insurance, Social Security, and veteran's benefits, and charges a community fee, with a daily fee for respite stays if someone only needs short-term care. Belair At Macon focuses on keeping residents independent and treating everyone with kindness, giving as much support or freedom as each person wants, and tries to meet individual needs while keeping the community atmosphere calm and respectful.
