Sterling Estates
Sterling Estates offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Marietta, GA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs time away.
The combination of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving to another level can happen without leaving the community or starting over socially. Sterling Estates has 175 beds, so it is a larger setting with more residents, staff, and usually more programming. Ms. Deana Harris serves as administrator, and pets are allowed, so residents may bring their pets when they move in.
Residents can use a pool, Wellness Center, and personal trainer for exercise and recreation. Fitness programs, social activities, and cognitive exercises provide structured ways to stay active and engaged. A hair salon and massage therapists offer grooming and massage services within the community, while restaurant style service is available in the dining room. A doctor is on staff to provide physician care through the community.
