Hands That Care is a senior living community in Riverdale, Georgia, in Clayton County, and folks always notice how it's got three assisted living units, a memory care building called Hands That Care @ Park Ridge, and it's surrounded by other care homes and in-home care services. The place has a home-like setting with space for ten or fewer people, so it feels a bit more personal, and the staff go about their work helping with Parkinson's care, fall prevention, feeding if someone needs that, dressing, moving about, and helping with all the things-medicines, incontinence care, diabetes management, and even heavier support for people who may have trouble moving at all. The apartments are either large studios or single bedrooms, and every one's got private, ADA-accessible baths, wheelchair accessible showers, and some even have full tubs, which makes life easier for those with mobility challenges, and there's always lots of room to move around. Folks will see a large library, an entertainment room with games, a big dining hall, easy walking trails outside, paths for gardening and exercising because the property's fenced, and a big family room-not to mention a large eat-in kitchen and formal dining room, so there's plenty of spaces for socializing, whether you want a quiet nook or a spot for group activities.
There's a focus on providing nutritious meals cooked with good ingredients, and if someone needs a pureed menu, there's an option for that, and snacks are served throughout the day. For activities, there might be optional massage therapy or computer classes, so you can keep busy in different ways, plus there's companionship and supervision built in, and family support meetings if folks ever need them. Safety gets well-considered, as residents in memory care wear bracelets that will sound an alarm if someone tries to leave, and the secure design stops wandering, which is a relief for families worrying about loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer's. The staff's background covers over 25 years of care experience, and they're known for being helpful, joyful, and kind, which shows up in the friendly vibe there. Nursing aides can look after people with Alzheimer's, dementia, schizophrenia, different mental disorders, head injuries, disabilities, and mild retardation, too, so there's some deep experience on hand. The community stays accessible for folks who use wheelchairs or need handicap features, and there's always help for daily tasks like medication reminders, hygiene, housekeeping, mobility, and helping out at mealtimes.
Detailed pricing and availability are shared with people asking, and you can see photos of the rooms, which some say have nice views. Residents can even stay short-term for respite, depending on openings. Hands That Care has verified customer reviews, a rating of 2.0 stars described as "Good," and it's part of a bigger network offering a range of care: assisted living, adult foster care, personal care homes, and nursing options. All utilities, laundry, and cleaning are covered, so residents don't have to keep up with bills, and with small details like reminders for using the restroom and willingness to accept folks with bigger behavioral needs, there's a sense of thoroughness in the care. The community puts a lot of work into making things safe, comfortable, and supportive, especially for those with changing needs as they grow older, and lets families see how things run so there aren't any surprises.
