Overview of Highlands Senior Living South
Highlands Senior Living South is a 43-bed personal care home located at 241 Nelson Street in Cartersville, Georgia. Situated in Bartow County roughly 4.5 miles from the city center, the property coordinates long-term senior housing, specialized dementia support, and short-term respite stays. The facility uses a 24-hour staffing structure to maintain behavioral monitoring and protective oversight for individuals with progressive cognitive decline.
State administrative profiles managed by the Georgia Department of Community Health contain historical review entries from March 2019 and April 2020. Local database registries indicate a baseline citations-per-inspection rate of zero for these specific tracking dates. No active administrative fines, corporate penalties, or operating license restrictions are recorded on file against the business, indicating that past field visits verified standard regulatory compliance.
On-site operations are organized to provide daily personal care, routine health monitoring, and prepared meal service. Property features incorporate private bathrooms, shared social lounges, and a recreational calendar that includes local field trips, group entertainment, and structured cognitive exercises. Staff handle routine medication passes and assist with activities of daily living while adapting prompts to match individual physical capacities.
Prospective residents or their representatives interested in a mid-sized memory care setup can reach out to the administrative team directly to check on recent unlisted state surveys. This 43-bed layout is highly appropriate for older adults who require routine physical prompts and whose sponsors want a less populated group environment.
