Overview of The Piedmont at Buckhead

The Piedmont at Buckhead offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood. Assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Several care levels are available in one community. A resident whose needs grow over time may be able to remain here instead of moving to another community. The home has 60 beds in a high rise building, with studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom residences; the larger layouts can accommodate a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. The area has a Walk Score of 74 and is very walkable, so most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Pets are allowed, letting a resident bring a companion animal when moving in. Jeffrey Whitten serves as the administrator.
