Orchard Ridge Residences
Orchard Ridge Residences provides assisted living and memory care in Dalton, GA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident retains their own living space. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering, and the community may be a good fit for a resident who prefers a smaller setting because it has 40 beds.
The starting price is $4,300, giving families an initial cost figure when considering placement. Matthew Fox serves as the administrator of Orchard Ridge Residences.
Residents can use the community’s salon, outdoor space, and restaurant-style dining area for grooming, time outside, and meals in a designated dining setting. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are part of the wellness program, and short-term rehabilitation is available for temporary recovery needs.
