Star Manor in Cartersville, GA offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Residential Care Home options. The team can support residents who wander in the morning or evening, stay up all night, require routine wound care, need oxygen management, follow special diets, or live with diabetes—whether controlled by oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. Staff are also trained to work with individuals experiencing moderate dementia and can adjust care plans as conditions evolve.
All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift responds to Personal Emergency Response System alerts and supervises the fenced rear yard. An activity director keeps residents engaged, while a visiting podiatrist handles routine foot care on site. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, plus partial help with eating when needed. Mobility services cover walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, and one- or two-person transfers.
Private suites are available furnished or unfurnished and may include a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate; not every unit has every feature, so it is best to confirm availability. Independent living residents receive weekly housekeeping, personal and linen laundry, medication-management monitoring, and a monthly meal plan, allowing them to live with minimal disruption while still having essential tasks covered.
Meals follow a set menu, and the kitchen manages physician-ordered diet modifications—including diabetic, low-sodium, and other special diets—with snacks available throughout the day. Residents who need full feeding assistance receive it in a respectful manner, while others dine communally. Independent living residents may rely entirely on the monthly meal plan or use it to supplement their own cooking.
Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, barber and beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, outdoor smoking areas, and scheduled transportation for errands or appointments. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
