Brookside Cartersville provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving families flexibility in matching support levels to resident needs. The care team is trained to manage residents who wander during the day or night, those at risk for elopement, and individuals requiring wound care or oxygen therapy. Specialized meal planning is in place for diabetic residents—whether managed with oral medications or injections—and for anyone on physician-ordered diets. The community is also equipped to accept adults under 60 who need an assisted living setting and can accommodate residents living with moderate dementia.
Care delivery is backed by background-checked staff, an awake night shift, a 24-hour Personal Emergency Response System that alerts caregivers, and a fenced rear area for added safety. An on-site podiatrist visits regularly to monitor foot health. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, plus some physical help during meals when needed. Transfer support ranges from standby or one-person assists to the use of walkers and wheelchairs, ensuring mobility needs are met without delay. An activity director coordinates daily engagement, reinforcing both physical and cognitive well-being.
Apartments are available with private bathrooms, individual temperature controls, cable service, and the option to repaint or decorate, although not every unit offers every feature. Housekeeping keeps living spaces tidy and maintenance staff manage routine repairs, so residents can focus on daily activities rather than chores.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to match nutritional guidelines, with snacks offered throughout the day and modifications made for physician-ordered diets. Independent Living residents may choose a monthly meal plan, while also receiving medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry services.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, high-speed internet, communal gardens, scheduled on-site religious services, and transportation for medical appointments or personal errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
