Dahlonega Assisted Living & Memory Care provides two primary levels of care: assisted living for residents who need help with daily routines and a secured memory care program for those with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias, including advanced conditions. The community can support residents who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, stay awake overnight, require wound treatment, oxygen therapy, special diets, or diabetes management by oral medication, injections, or sliding scale. Younger adults under 60 who need these services are also accepted.
Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift and on-site security staff provide continuous monitoring. Safety features include a fenced rear area, door alarms, WanderGuard technology, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. The residence accommodates psychiatric diagnoses and offers on-site audiology and a therapy room. Staff can give full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting and are trained for walker and wheelchair support, standby or supervised transfers, as well as one- or two-person transfers.
Private and companion suites are available; some have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable service. Residents may personalize their spaces with paint or decorations. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are included. Not every accommodation contains each listed feature, so prospective residents should verify availability during a tour.
Meals feature both set menus and on-demand ordering, with snacks available throughout the day. The culinary team can modify diets for mechanical soft, chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid needs and can accommodate vegetarian preferences and other physician-ordered restrictions.
Services extend to resident parking, wheelchair-accessible grounds, and transportation for medical appointments and errands. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional amenities include a barber and beauty salon, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, an on-site library, and regularly scheduled religious services.
