The Heritage of Marietta
The Heritage of Marietta offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Marietta, GA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps their own apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while respite care offers a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
The community has 75 beds and is administered by Henrietta Essel. A Walk Score of 51 means some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still get out independently for certain nearby trips.
