Arbor Terrace South Forsyth sits in Suwanee, Georgia, as a licensed assisted living community run by The Arbor Company, and it's got 125 beds, with staff around 24 hours a day, including awake staff, nurses, LPNs, medication care managers, and medication technicians who all help residents with things like bathing, grooming, using the toilet, and taking medicine, and they're always ready to help with one-person or two-person transfers or even using a mechanical lift if somebody needs that kind of thing. The place takes pride in taking care of older adults who have Alzheimer's disease and other kinds of dementia, and they've really focused on making it safe for folks who might wander, with a secured property and alarm bracelets, so if someone tries to leave, staff know right away, plus there's a whole separate memory care building that keeps things calm and well-watched. There's a Bridges Neighborhood program for people in the early stages of memory issues, too, and they do an initial assessment to be sure each resident gets exactly the help they need and is living where it suits them best. Arbor Terrace South Forsyth doesn't take Medicare for care unless they've gotten that special CMS certification, but they do keep costs lower than a full-time nursing home would and they're licensed by Georgia, with checks on their licensing twice a year.
Residents get meals in a restaurant-style setting, in their rooms if they want, or even in a private room, and there are guest meals, special diet options for folks needing low or no salt and sugar, and meals are made to be both healthy and tasty, and the dining area is just one of many common areas, since they've got both inside and outside spots to enjoy, plus landscaped gardens where folks sometimes like to gather or just breathe the fresh air. People who need to worship can join onsite or offsite devotional services, and those who like to keep busy can take art or yoga classes, cook with others, join community service projects, sing karaoke, do trivia, or go wine tasting, with trips and outings, too, all managed by a full-time activity director so there's always something to do and ways to stay connected with others. Pets are allowed-cats and dogs both-with pet care and even some pet programs, which can be a comfort for many.
Healthcare professionals stop by-nurses, podiatrists, dentists, therapists of all kinds-and Arbor Terrace South Forsyth can help with behavioral care and handle residents who sometimes have major behavioral problems, making sure safety and care go hand in hand. People who need different amounts of help, whether light or medium care, can stay as their needs change, and the place focuses on keeping seniors as independent as possible while still safe and engaged, always trying for a dignified life even when memory loss is present. Residents have all sorts of amenities like beautician services, wheelchair-accessible showers, high-speed internet, and plenty of ways to make the space their own, and hospice is available if someone needs it. Arbor Terrace South Forsyth has won awards such as Best of Senior Living and Best of Senior Living All Star, and folks notice how clean the place stays, which matters when you're looking for long-term care. The staff know the goal's to build trust with the residents and their families, to do things honestly and professionally, and they use technology not just for safety but also to add comfort and engagement for those living there, which is especially important for anybody facing memory challenges.
The whole idea is to make sure seniors, whether they need independent living, assisted living, or memory care, feel respected, supervised, and able to keep enjoying life in a setting that fits their needs, with licensed nurses and caregivers always there and transportation provided for appointments or outings if needed, and with pet-friendly and accessible spaces throughout. Meals, activities, safety measures, and different care levels are all part of what's offered, always aiming for quality care and peace of mind for residents and their families.
