Westminster Commons in Atlanta is licensed to provide full nursing-home care, so residents receive continuous skilled-nursing oversight rather than intermittent support. The team is equipped to handle short-term respite stays, giving family caregivers a break while ensuring that the same clinical standards apply to temporary residents. On-site physical therapists deliver individualized rehabilitation programs aimed at preserving or restoring mobility and strength after surgery, illness, or injury. For residents living with diabetes, nurses monitor blood glucose, administer insulin as prescribed, and coordinate dietary guidelines with the food-service staff to maintain stable A1C levels.
Additional medical features are in place to support this round-the-clock care model. Nurses and certified nursing assistants remain on duty 24 hours a day, and physicians visit the facility on a regular schedule for assessments and care-plan updates. Therapy spaces are located within the building so residents do not have to travel off-site for most rehabilitation sessions, and coordination with outside specialists is arranged when advanced diagnostics or procedures are needed. The community also manages pharmacy deliveries, medication storage, and re-ordering, and maintains an emergency call system that alerts staff immediately if a resident needs urgent attention.
Accommodations include a mix of private and companion rooms designed to meet skilled-nursing requirements such as accessible bathrooms and call systems. Some rooms open onto secured outdoor areas where residents can spend supervised time in fresh air, while others are interior spaces closer to the nurses’ station for quicker observation; not every room offers the same layout or outdoor access. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are provided according to a set schedule, and maintenance requests are handled by on-site personnel.
Dining services supply three meals daily plus planned snacks, all prepared under the guidance of a dietary manager familiar with therapeutic menus. Pureed, mechanical soft, and carbohydrate-controlled options are available to align with individual care plans, particularly for residents receiving diabetes management. Meals are served in a central dining room with staff assistance for those who need help eating, but tray service can be arranged during recovery periods or when a physician orders in-room dining.
Residents have access to an activity center where group events, exercise classes, and social gatherings are organized throughout the week. Structured arts and crafts sessions allow individuals to maintain fine-motor skills while expressing creativity. A library and computer lounge offers quiet space for reading, internet use, and video calls with family, giving residents a range of choices for intellectual engagement during their stay.
