Busy Bees Personal Care Home sits at 123 Hartley Woods Drive in Kennesaw, Georgia, and only has space for three seniors, so things stay pretty quiet and everyone gets to know each other, which can make it easier for folks to feel more at home than in a bigger place that feels more like an institution. The staff, including a registered nurse, are certified by the Georgia Nurses Board, and someone's around and awake all day and night to help with whatever residents may need, whether that's assistance with bathing, getting dressed, eating, using the restroom, managing diabetes, or dealing with incontinence, and they're equipped to look after seniors needing extra support, like people with Alzheimer's, dementia, or those who might have major behavior changes, including those who might be aggressive or have other tough behaviors. There's both assisted living and memory care and the memory care section's in its own building and has extra security, like alarms on bracelets, locked doors, and a computer system to keep residents safe from wandering into unsafe areas, and they'll even accept seniors with more difficult symptoms or physical behaviors, and help with behavioral care, reminders, and regular nurse checkups every month to make sure everyone's care plan fits their needs.
Inside, there are three assisted living units, including options for studios, shared, or single-bedroom spaces, all with grab bars, non-slip floors, and pull cords, private bathrooms, lots of closet space, and HD TVs, so residents can feel comfortable and safe. There's a well-lit dining room where residents enjoy homemade meals, including Kosher and vegetarian choices, plus snacks throughout the day, and sometimes special meals for occasions, and the staff keep things tidy with regular housekeeping and laundry help, and they'll fix or maintain anything in the rooms or apartments that needs attention. Residents have access to daily social activities and a full calendar, so whether someone likes arts and crafts, games, movies in the small theater, reading in the reading room, fitness, working with computers, gardening, or just sitting in a bright community space or out on the tree-lined patios, there's always something to do or someone around for company, and animals like cats and dogs are allowed, which is good for those who love pets.
For health and wellness, Busy Bees offers therapy services, like speech and occupational therapy, and a therapy section and fitness activity center, and staff help with medication management, including blood sugar tests and insulin injections if needed. They're able to do standby assistance and even use lifts when help transferring someone's needed, and they'll remind folks when it's time for medication or to use the restroom. Security is a priority with secured grounds and 24/7 on-site security, so families can have peace of mind, and devotional activities on-site or off-site let residents keep up spiritual routines. Residents also get scheduled group transportation and there's parking for those who drive. Amenities include beauty salon services, entertainment and game rooms, gardens, private ADA-compliant bathrooms, concierge service, and reading rooms for relaxation. Busy Bees allows short-term or respite stays, so families can arrange care for their loved ones when needed, and the staff make sure personalized care keeps up as residents' needs grow, whether for light help, more hands-on nursing, or memory care. With only a few residents and a focus on comfort, safety, and tailored support, Busy Bees Personal Care Home tries to build a warm, family-like setting in a real home, where seniors can feel connected and well looked after.
