Cedarhurst of Canton in Canton, GA provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, including support for residents with advanced dementia. The health team can work with individuals who wander during the day or night, are at risk for elopement, stay up all night, use oxygen, require special diets, are younger than 60, or manage diabetes with either oral medication or injections.

Registered and licensed nurses are on-site around the clock and also remain on call, and every employee has passed a background check. Caregivers stay awake through the night, answer pull-cord and personal emergency response alerts, and monitor alarmed doors and a fenced rear area. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and staff can manage transfers ranging from standby to two-person lifts for residents using walkers or wheelchairs. Podiatry visits are arranged in-house, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric conditions. An activity director coordinates daily programs while 24-hour security staff keep the building secure.

Resident suites can include a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to repaint or decorate; however, not every unit offers every feature. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are built into the monthly rate.
