Grindle House, located at 72 Burke St in Marietta, Georgia, is a small assisted living and memory care home with just four assisted living units, which means things usually feel quiet and folks get to know each other pretty well, and the staff spend time with residents to make sure their needs are met, whether that's help getting dressed, with bathing, with moving around safely, or with managing medication and health needs. The place offers both studio and one-bedroom apartments, along with shared living spaces, and they're all furnished, have generous closet space, and have safety features like grab bars and non-slip flooring, plus emergency response systems in every room, so people living there can maintain a level of independence while still feeling secure. Grindle House takes care of residents who may have Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's, with specialized caregivers and custom care plans, and there are also regular doctor checkups, ongoing health screenings, and an on-call nurse available for urgent concerns, which keeps peace of mind for both the residents and their loved ones.
The meals are chef-prepared and can be made for special diets like diabetic or allergy-sensitive needs, so people can enjoy good food without worrying too much about what's on their plate, and if anyone wants a snack those are available all day too, and residents can eat in a dining room with restaurant-style service or sometimes at the bistro, so there's a little variety. Grindle House has a library with plenty of books, outdoor decks, a courtyard and garden area, and walking trails, so folks can find a quiet spot to sit or go out when the weather's nice, and there are regular fitness and wellness activities to get people moving and give them a chance to socialize, whether that's through group exercise, computer classes, or entertainment in the games room and movie nights.
For those who need extra help, the staff are trained to assist with incontinence management, falls prevention, feeding by spoon, speech therapy, and even surgery recovery or low mobility challenges, and there are massage therapy services and beauty and barbershop amenities to help residents feel comfortable and cared for. Housekeeping, linen changes, laundry, and even dry cleaning are included, and the team also arranges transportation to doctor appointments or community outings and provides moving assistance to help residents settle in. Grindle House allows pets, so residents don't have to leave their companions behind, and the building has keypads and security measures to keep everyone safe. There are daily activities, family meetings, cultural events, high-definition TVs, WiFi, and telephones in the rooms, so staying connected and engaged with others comes easy. With skilled nursing care and pharmacy services along with regular coordination with healthcare providers, Grindle House covers a broad range of healthcare and personal needs, and because there are so few units, it stays more homelike and calmer than many larger places, which some people prefer for comfort and familiarity.
