Orchard Ridge Residences in Dalton, GA, provides two levels of residential care: Assisted Living for individuals who need help with daily tasks and Memory Care for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Both programs are structured to give residents consistent support from trained staff while allowing them to maintain as much independence as possible within a secured setting.
The community maintains a secured environment and is staffed to deliver specialized medical oversight. Diabetes care is available, and a physician is on call for routine and urgent needs. Residents can receive speech-language therapy as well as occupational and physical therapy without leaving the property. Staff manage medications, monitor continence needs, and offer ambulatory assistance. The Memory Care neighborhood is designed to accommodate cognitive decline exclusively, combining environmental cues with care practices tailored for memory loss.
Private and companion suites are air-conditioned and may include cable or satellite television, outdoor access, and on-site parking; not all units offer every feature. The property is pet-friendly, subject to community guidelines. Three daily meals are provided, and guest meals are offered. Specialized menus such as low- or no-sodium and no-sugar options can be prepared to meet physician-ordered diets.
Residents have the use of a library and computer lounge, an activity center for crafts and group programs, and landscaped walking paths that connect to outdoor seating areas. Social outings, clubs, birthday celebrations, live music events, and seasonal pool activities round out the daily and weekly schedule, encouraging engagement throughout the year.
