WellstarAtherton Place

WellstarAtherton Place is a senior living community in Marietta, Georgia, on the campus of WellStar Kennestone Regional Hospital, and it's set up in a high-rise building with amenities like an on-site chapel, arts center, campus spaces, a sundries shop, hair salon, and covered parking, which can make living easier for older adults who want comfort and community. The community offers several levels of care, including independent living, assisted living, and specialized memory care for people living with memory loss, Alzheimer's, or dementia, with dedicated Memory Care staff and services that adjust to the individual's needs. Their Wellness Team helps with medication management, bathing, dressing, grooming, and daily living tasks as needed for residents, so people can remain as independent as possible while still getting round-the-clock help if they need it, and they have chef-prepared meals, laundry services, housekeeping, transportation, activities, and trips to keep life active and social. There's a focus on both physical health and emotional well-being, with rehabilitation programs, preventive care, diagnostic imaging, and even orthopedic and sports medicine services available, which isn't something you see everywhere, plus they've got an art space and fitness center for staying active and engaged. The staff uses advanced technology and evidence-based practices, and there's a team of experienced medical professionals for personalized care, and residents and their families can check health records and get support through secure online tools like EpicCare Link and MyChart, which keeps things connected. Pets are allowed, so people don't have to give up that sense of home, and safety is a big part of daily life, with things like 24-hour security, a Safety First Program, and several layers of leadership and governance, such as Authority Boards and Foundation Boards, which might help some folks feel more at ease. The community holds events, support groups, on-demand classes, and volunteer opportunities, so there's a lot to keep minds and bodies active, and they've got extra support for things like COVID-19 vaccines and testing if needed. WellstarAtherton Place also connects with other healthcare partners through the Wellstar Medical Group, Mayo Clinic Care Network, and provider recruitment services, meaning there's a larger network behind their day-to-day operations, and families can find hospital payment planning, financial assistance, and even community health programs, which helps take some worries off residents and loved ones when things get tough. The place has been recognized as one of the main memory care communities in the area, and with both general and enhanced personal care services, residents can expect different options as their needs change over time, plus things like covered parking and on-site amenities make it a bit more convenient for seniors wanting a flexible, social, and safer environment to call home.
