The Retreat at Buford
The Retreat at Buford is a 90-bed assisted living community located at 3177 Gravel Springs Road in Buford, Georgia. Situated in Gwinnett County roughly 4.4 miles from the city center, the facility manages long-term residential housing, short-term respite stays, and memory care services. The physical layout is engineered to support seniors requiring routine personal care or enhanced cognitive supervision near the Lake Lanier region.
State administrative logs from the Georgia Department of Community Health document an unblemished regulatory record since the community’s inception. The property completed its opening licensing review on March 31, 2022, with no infractions noted by state surveyors. Furthermore, state inspectors conducted two separate complaint investigations on May 9, 2022, and May 17, 2023, and concluded both field visits with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, indicating that all evaluated consumer allegations were unsubstantiated.
Daily clinical operations are organized around the 90-bed capacity to deliver structured physical assistance, medication tracking, and secure memory support. Public administrative records show no history of corporate fines, state enforcement penalties, or operational license restrictions. Because the property has maintained a deficiency-free record across all available state reviews, the data reflects a consistent compliance history under current management.
Interested individuals looking for a mid-to-large scale senior community with a flawless historical audit track record can consider this Gwinnett County property. The environment is designed for older adults whose sponsors prioritize clean state surveys and an established history of meeting regulatory standards.
