The Goldton at Athens provides two levels of residential support: Assisted Living for residents who need help with daily tasks and Independent Living for those who want the convenience of community life without routine care services. Residents can move between these options as needs change, allowing them to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving the right level of assistance.
Medical oversight is broad and routine at this community. A physician is available, respite or short-term stays can be arranged, and specialized support for diabetes management and speech therapy is on the care roster. On-site professionals handle medication management and coordination, preventative health screenings, incontinence and ambulatory care, hospice coordination, nursing services, and therapies provided by occupational and physical therapists. A visiting podiatrist rounds out the clinical services, giving residents access to frequent foot-health monitoring without leaving campus.
Apartments come with practical features such as kitchenette setups, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and handicap-accessible layouts; some residences add complimentary high-speed internet, central fireplace views, or proximity to the piano and outdoor areas. Skynet technology and an electronic medication administration record are integrated for accurate dosing and monitoring. Pet-friendly policies and on-site parking are available in select units, so prospective residents should verify which features apply to the specific floor plan they choose.
Meals are prepared three times daily and served in a restaurant-style setting, with guests welcomed at mealtimes. All-day dining lets residents eat on their own schedule, and modified menus accommodate low- or no-sodium and no-sugar diets. Nutrition staff track preferences and restrictions to ensure balanced meals without sacrificing variety.
Beyond the essentials, residents can spend downtime in the activity center, library and computer lounge, or by the raised garden beds. Daily calendars include happy hour, yoga and chair yoga, intergenerational programs, birthday parties, dances, fitness classes, live music, social outings, and seasonal access to a swimming pool.
