Gateway Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care
Gateway Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Bethlehem, GA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident lives in a private apartment, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short-term stay for a resident whose usual caregiver needs time to travel or recover, making the community a possible fit for families needing temporary support or for someone whose care needs may increase over time.
Gateway Gardens has 64 beds and offers a Private Suite, 1-Bedroom Apartment, Deluxe Private Suite, and Companion Suite. The private suites provide single-occupancy room options, the one-bedroom apartment separates the sleeping area from the living space, and the companion suite can suit two people moving in together or someone who wants a roommate.
The starting price is $3,895 per month, giving families an initial figure for budgeting, although the confirmed facts do not identify which care level that price covers. Patios and walking paths provide outdoor areas for residents to spend time outside, while home-cooked meals are available through the community’s dining service. Ms HEATHER BARNES serves as the administrator.
