Overview of Vernon Woods

Facebook X (Twitter) Instagram LinkedIn

Vernon Woods provides assisted living and independent living in LaGrange, GA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private apartment. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. With 46 beds, Vernon Woods is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other, so it may suit someone who prefers a smaller setting.

There is plenty to do on site. Residents can use a fitness room, full service beauty salon and barbershop, theatre room, and walking trails beside a pond for exercise, personal grooming, entertainment, and outdoor walks. Restaurant style dining includes chef prepared meals, with special diets accommodated for residents who have dietary requirements. A private dining room is available for family events.

Group activities include yoga classes, book club, card games, trivia, mahjong, movie nights, and community celebrations, giving residents ways to exercise, talk, play games, and join in shared events. Pets are allowed, so a resident may continue living with a pet. The Walk Score is 34 out of 100, indicating a car dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride; a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips. Heather Blane serves as the administrator.
