The Southern Living Center in Gibson, GA sits at 434 Beall Springs Rd and offers different types of senior care, so you'll find assisted living, memory care, independent living, and even skilled nursing under one roof, which makes things easier for residents and families as care needs change. You can choose between residential care homes with a small, home-like feel and larger, resort-style assisted living communities, some with room for more than 350 residents, which means there's company and social activity if you like bigger places, or quieter spaces if you don't. The facility has a total of 14 assisted living units, with fully furnished private bedrooms and semi-private quarters, ADA compliant private baths, kitchenettes, and all the regular appliances and furnishings, plus cable TV, air conditioning, telephones, and Wi-Fi so people can stay comfortable and connected.
Residents get daily meals prepared with special attention to dietary needs like diabetes, allergies, and hypertension, and there's a professional chef along with all-day dining and a restaurant-style dining room, so meals feel comfortable and flexible. For health needs, the staff handles medication management, incontinence care, help with bathing, dressing, grooming, bathroom assistance, and movement support, and a licensed nurse is on-call 24/7 to make sure care needs get covered. People who need two-person transfer assistance, fall prevention, or Alzheimer's and dementia care have services ready for them, and those with Parkinson's disease can get specialized attention too.
The Southern Living Center has a board and care home model, which means some houses offer live-in caregivers for things like cooking, cleaning, and day-to-day help. For seniors who are active and don't need much help, there's independent living options in a social setting with no hassle about chores, but company and activities always nearby. Home care services give another choice, with aides stopping in to offer non-medical help and companionship if you want to keep living at home. Memory care services focus on simple routines and safe surroundings to help residents with memory loss, with things set up to prevent wandering and ease confusion, including personalized care plans.
The center tries to keep people active and engaged, so you'll find fitness rooms, exercise programs, walking trails, and outdoor spaces with landscaped gardens, and a wellness and life enrichment program for those wanting to stay moving and social. There's an arts and crafts classroom, computer and technology lessons, and community areas like a movie theater, hot tub, steam room, spa, activity and game rooms, a library and reading room, as well as an outdoor garden and common space for any who want to relax outside. People bring cats and dogs, and animal therapy is part of the activity calendar, so pets are welcome, and there's music therapy, birthday parties, scheduled programs, music nights, and board games.
For spiritual or religious life, there are eight nearby places of worship, and the center arranges transportation to services, shopping, doctor appointments, faith-based activities, and local outings, with parking available for those who need it.
