MANOR LAKE DAWSONVILLE offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care within one setting, making it easier for residents to remain in familiar surroundings even as needs change. The community is prepared to manage a wide range of medical conditions, including residents who wander during the day or night, elopement risks, combative or other behavioral issues, and those who are up all night. Care teams can also handle advanced dementia, wound care, oxygen management, special diets, and diabetic care whether the resident is on oral medication, injections, or sliding scale insulin. Residents under 60 are accepted when clinically appropriate, allowing for a broader age range than many communities.
An RN or LPN is on staff, with a licensed nurse on-site 24 hours a day and another on call, giving families continual clinical oversight. Caregivers are awake on the night shift, and every team member has passed background checks. Security measures include 24-hour staffed coverage, fenced outdoor areas, wander-guard systems, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response systems that connect directly to staff. The community can coordinate podiatry care, psychiatric support, and therapy services in an on-site therapy room. Assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting at the full-assistance level, and staff can perform standby, one-person, or two-person transfers using walkers or wheelchairs as needed.
Residences offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, the option to paint or decorate, cable connections, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry service, although individual units may not include every feature listed. Independent Living residents receive weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, allowing them to maintain autonomy without the burdens of home maintenance.
Dining provides a set menu along with the flexibility to order selected items, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary staff creates meals that can be modified for special diets, including gluten-free choices, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid textures. Registered dietitians oversee nutritional standards to align with physician instructions and resident preferences.
Residents have on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, beauty salon, library, communal gardens, internet access, and scheduled religious services. Outdoor smoking is allowed in designated areas, and pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Transportation services help residents reach medical appointments, shopping, and local events, supporting continued engagement in the wider Dawsonville community.
