South Deshon Manor Personal Care Home

South Deshon Manor Personal Care Home sits on a quiet, wooded lot in Lithonia, Georgia, offering care for up to four residents in a three-bedroom, two-bath ranch-style home that's both air-conditioned and wheelchair accessible, so moving around isn't too hard whether someone uses a walker or a wheelchair. The staff offer help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, and managing medications, including insulin injections, and they also know how to use the Hoyer Lift for residents who need total assistance with transfers. Residents get three balanced meals a day with two snacks, and the kitchen offers vegetarian and kosher food options, alongside special diets like diabetic-friendly and allergy-sensitive meals. Every week, the home arranges trips to the movies, local malls, or nearby parks if the weather's good, and there are daily games, crafts, puzzles, and live entertainment to keep everyone's mind and body active. Community rooms have televisions and phones, so residents can relax or call family easily, and the house is set up to be comfortable and home-like with both private and shared rooms furnished and ready for use. There's 24-hour supervision with staff trained in both physical care and handling memory or behavioral concerns, like helping those who might try to wander. On-site, residents can get help from nurses, a doctor or dentist on call, as well as podiatrist, physical, speech, and occupational therapy when needed. The home's ranch layout makes it easier for those with limited mobility, and the bathrooms have tubs for assisted bathing. Religious and devotional services happen both in the home and at nearby places of worship, with several faith communities close by, and there's plenty of pharmacies, doctor's offices, parks, and restaurants in the neighborhood, which helps for errands and outings. South Deshon Manor maintains a no smoking policy indoors and fosters a respectful, dignified, and supportive atmosphere where residents' needs and routines are answered with kindness, and the environment suits seniors who prefer a smaller, calmer setting over busier buildings. The staff provide customized care, move-in help, housekeeping, laundry, linen service, and keep the environment clean so the residents feel at home. Parking and transportation services are available, and residents can enjoy walking paths and garden areas on the property. South Deshon Manor Personal Care Home doesn't accept Medicare unless it's specifically certified, and families should check on current payment options when considering a stay.
