Pleasant Valley Personal Care in Dalton, Georgia, offers assisted-living support designed for residents who need help with activities of daily living while still valuing a measure of independence. Within this care level, the community can manage diabetes through monitoring and medication assistance, and a speech therapist is available for residents who need help with communication or swallowing challenges.
Beyond the basic assisted-living framework, Pleasant Valley Personal Care maintains a range of on-site medical services aimed at keeping residents’ health needs in one place. Licensed nurses oversee medication management, coordinate hospice care when needed, and provide incontinence and ambulatory support. Occupational and physical therapists are available to craft individualized rehabilitation plans, reducing the need for off-site appointments.
Accommodation options vary in size and layout, and not every apartment includes every feature. Units may offer kitchenettes for light meal preparation, wheelchair-accessible showers, cable or satellite TV connections, and private balconies, decks, or patios. Many areas of the building are handicap-accessible, and common spaces such as a central fireplace lounge, outdoor butterfly garden, and designated pet-friendly zones give residents several settings in which to spend their day. On-site parking is available for residents or visitors.
Daily meals are provided and served in a communal dining room, with staff handling preparation, service, and clean-up. Menus rotate to reflect seasonal ingredients and can be adjusted for dietary restrictions common among older adults, such as reduced-sugar or low-sodium options. When desired, residents who have kitchenettes may store snacks or prepare light fare on their own, but the community’s primary approach is to relieve residents of cooking responsibilities.
Residents can tend raised garden beds, participate in birthday celebrations, or spend time outdoors on the landscaped grounds. An activity center hosts crafts, games, and group events, offering structured and unstructured options throughout the week.
