Samuda's Personal Care Home in Snellville, GA, is a small family-style home with space for six residents, so things stay quiet and personal and nobody gets overlooked like you sometimes see in big facilities, and everything feels homey with comfortable spaces and a big enclosed back porch where folks can relax. There are semi-private and private rooms, and the private rooms cost $2,000 a month, while the semi-private rooms cost $1,500 a month, and the staff are around day and night to offer help whenever someone needs it-whether it's with bathing, dressing, getting around, or managing medications. The place has emergency call systems in all the rooms, and it's been kept up nicely, always clean, which matters, especially as everybody at this age knows how important a tidy house is.
Residents here get meals made with help from a dietitian, including low sodium and diabetic options, and they get snacks, too, and there's support for people with conditions like Parkinson's, dementia, or incontinence, and for folks who need memory care or skilled nursing, so it's clear they handle more advanced needs-not just the basics. Physical activities like daily exercise, gardening, and walking paths are available, and there's a fitness center, as well as a courtyard and garden for fresh air, and even a community cafe and barbershop on site, though it's still a small home and not a big commercial-style building with those sprawling amenities. If residents want to go to the theater for a movie or just out somewhere, transportation gets arranged, and being close to pharmacies, doctors, parks, churches, and restaurants is handy for whatever comes up.
The home offers laundry and housekeeping, plus help with moving around or getting to appointments, and group activities are offered, including religious programs, crafts, outings, and entertainment in the TV room, which means there's always something to do but nobody's pressed into big crowds. There are safety bars and features for those who need them, private bathrooms, and shared living areas for chatting or watching TV. Staff are friendly and helpful-folks say so in online reviews, which also put the place at a 2.5-star "Good" rating on SeniorAdvisor.com, which seems about right for a modest, well-run home.
Samuda's accepts private payment, cash, or checks, but not Medicare unless there's a special certification, and it's a licensed Personal Care Home under local and Georgia state rules, with inspections like all adult care residences. People living here get personal care in a home, not an institution, and there's support for those with long-term, non-acute needs, as the staff help with the daily things that get a little harder with age. The atmosphere is peaceful and the residents can enjoy both quiet time and organized group events as they like, and all in all, for someone who wants a smaller, low-key place in Gwinnett County, close to everything but still private, it does what it says: provides care, support, and a touch of independence for seniors who need regular help.
