Azeala Way sits in a quiet Thomasville neighborhood at 125 Hambleton Street and has room for up to six seniors in a personal care home setting, so you get that smaller, home-like feel where everyone knows each other, and there are several types of rooms like one-bedroom apartments, small studios with simple, useful design, and some options come furnished, have lots of closets, and appliances like in-room washers and dryers, and there's help with moving in too, so no one has to do it all alone. Folks at Azeala Way can bring their dogs or cats, and there's always something to do, with everyday social activities, arts and crafts, creative games, movie nights, and even birthday parties, plus there's a snack shop, a small library, a lounge with big TV, and a garden with walking trails for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
Caregivers help with just about everything, like dressing, bathing, eating if spoon feeding's needed, walking from room to room, medication management, and special support for folks with Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's, and there's a nurse on call 24/7 with a full checkup by a licensed nurse and a physician every month. Incontinence care, fall prevention, and transfers are part of what they do daily, and if someone needs a special diet for diabetes or allergies, the staff dietitian and kitchen team handle it and make three homemade meals a day. The facility is kept secure with keypad entry and an around-the-clock security system, and you'll find emergency pull cords in every room along with wheelchair access and protected entryways, so safety's a main thing here.
There's a chapel, a beauty/barber shop, a theater room, fitness center with regular wellness programs, computer access, and shared kitchens, so daily life stays simple and folks can pick how social or private they want to be. Visitors are welcome during friendly hours, pets are allowed, and there's free internet, cable, and all the usual utilities waiting in each apartment, and all the maintenance, yardwork, and repairs are handled by staff. Staff can help out with everything from housekeeping and laundry to arranging rides for shopping, going out to local events, getting to doctors, or faith-based trips. Azeala Way started in 2007, is licensed by the State of Georgia, and focuses on providing steady, caring help with both typical aging needs and memory care, all in a quiet setting that tries to keep things as peaceful and as home-like as possible.
