Azalea Gardens at Mableton provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in the same community even as care needs change. The staff can accommodate planned or emergency Respite stays, short-term recovery periods, and ongoing support for advanced dementia conditions. On-site medical oversight is available from physicians, nurses, and diabetes-care specialists, and a speech therapist is available for residents who need help maintaining or regaining communication skills. Medication management is handled by licensed nursing staff around the clock, and hospice services can be arranged when appropriate.
Additional clinical resources include occupational and physical therapists, a podiatrist, a dentist, and continence and ambulatory care programs. The community is fully secured, and each resident receives an emergency alert pendant or wristband linked to an internal response system. Staff members are trained to provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and common areas are laid out specifically to reduce confusion for residents living with memory loss.
Residences vary in size and layout; some offer kitchenettes, walk-in showers, high-speed Wi-Fi, and individual climate controls, while others focus on ease of access and proximity to care areas. Handicap-accessible designs, outdoor sitting areas, on-site parking, and pet-friendly policies support personal preferences. Central gathering points such as the fireplace lounge and piano area encourage residents to socialize. Not all accommodations include every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm the details of the specific unit they are considering. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with an all-day dining option for residents who prefer flexible schedules. The nutrition program can accommodate low-sodium, no-sugar, and vegetarian diets, and guest meals are available for visiting family members. Consistent portion control and menu labeling help residents manage chronic conditions such as diabetes while still enjoying a varied menu.
Daily life is supplemented by a barber and beauty shop for grooming needs, a dedicated movie room for group screenings, a library for quiet reading, and campus-wide internet access for email and video calls.
