King’s Bridge Retirement Center
King’s Bridge Retirement Center offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Atlanta, GA. The community opened in 1985 and is located in the Briarcliff Heights neighborhood, with Kevin Shaw serving as administrator. Assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, and medication while residents keep their own apartments. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.
All three care levels are available here. A resident whose needs grow may be able to move within the community without leaving familiar surroundings, which can suit someone planning for changing care needs over time. The community has 80 beds. Respite care offers a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and scheduled transportation supports appointments and outings without requiring a resident or family member to arrange each trip independently.
Restaurant-style dining includes diverse menus with healthy favorites and innovative dishes, so meals are prepared in a dining venue rather than a standard cafeteria setting. Outdoor courtyards provide places for planting, gardening, and relaxation, while the beauty salon lets residents arrange grooming on site. The wellness center is open every day, and volunteer projects give residents a specific way to participate in community service.
A Walk Score of 80 places the area in the very walkable band, meaning most errands can be done on foot. For a resident who no longer drives, that level of walkability can support getting out independently for everyday errands.
