Overview of Governor’s Glen Mem Care & Assisted Living Comm

Governor’s Glen Mem Care & Assisted Living Comm offers assisted living and memory care in Forest Park, Georgia. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks, while memory care provides a supervised setting for residents with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other memory problems. Having both care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time.

The community has 60 beds and is administered by Ms. Carmen Akins. Short-term respite care gives families a temporary residential option when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Short-term rehabilitation and adult day programs add time-limited support and daytime participation.

Residents can use the on-site beauty parlor and barber shop for grooming without leaving the community. Daily activities include exercise classes, pet therapy, music therapy, and sensory stimulation, offering several kinds of movement, companionship, and engagement. Meals are prepared daily by a full-time chef, and a doctor is on staff to provide physician care at the community.
