Overview of The Gardens at Southern Manor

The Gardens at Southern Manor offers assisted living and memory care in Statesboro, GA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and having both care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without leaving the community.

The community has 44 beds, making it a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Its Walk Score is 67 / 100, described as somewhat walkable, so some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still manage select outings independently.

A secure memory care neighborhood gives memory care residents a designated supervised area, while the beauty salon allows salon services on site. Organized group trips provide planned outings, and personalized meal options are supported by a nutritional assessment for every new resident upon admission. Alan Skipper serves as the administrator.
