Overview of The Phoenix at Lake Lanier

Part of the Phoenix Senior Living network, The Phoenix at Lake Lanier is a senior living community in Gainesville, Georgia, offering assisted living, memory care, and respite care. The community is in Hall County, about 3 miles from Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville. The 180-bed community offers studio and two-bedroom residences. It has been serving residents for 8 years. Katrina Cohen serves as the administrator.

The community provides several care options, so residents can remain in familiar surroundings as their needs change over time. Respite care is also available for families who need short-term support. Residents have access to transportation services and fitness and recreation programs. On-site physicians address routine medical needs without requiring trips outside the community.

The surrounding neighborhood is car-dependent, so most errands and outings require a short drive. Transportation services are available for residents who need to attend appointments and participate in activities away from the community.

State inspection reports have addressed topics including staffing levels, medication administration, resident safety, and communication with families about changes in a resident’s condition. One incident involving resident treatment resulted in personnel action by the community. Families touring The Phoenix at Lake Lanier should ask how staffing and care documentation are currently being managed.
