Montclair Assisted Living
Montclair Assisted Living offers assisted living and residential care in Decatur, Georgia. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps their own apartment, and residential care is also available.
The community has 45 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents may have more opportunity to get to know each other. A Walk Score of 53 out of 100 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to manage select nearby trips independently. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy support movement, everyday activities, and communication needs, while an indoor pool, hair salon, and outdoor visiting areas let residents swim, use hair services, and meet visitors within the community. Juanita Gichana serves as the administrator.
