Overview of Medlock Gardens Senior Living

Forty-two beds on Medlock Road, 1.2 miles from the center of Decatur. Medlock Gardens Senior Living’s Walk Score of 77 means it is one of the more walkable assisted living addresses in Georgia; most errands are manageable on foot, and the surrounding neighborhood has real density. Serita Buchanan administers the facility, which has been running for 12 years.

A full-time licensed nurse is on-site at the address. The grounds have a rose garden and a full-service salon. It is not pet-friendly.

Medlock Gardens holds a Personal Care Home license from Georgia’s Department of Community Health, which regulates these facilities on a separate track from the federal CMS system. Medicare and Medicaid don’t apply here; placement is on private terms under state licensing. State inspections have historically touched on fire-safety systems.

At 42 beds, this is a small community. That scale tends to mean less institutional distance and more visibility for individual residents..

Medlock Gardens is a compact, walkable, state-licensed assisted living option in central Decatur, suited to families who want a small personal-care setting close to the city’s amenities and aren’t depending on CMS-administered benefits.

Does Georgia Medicaid cover assisted living?

Georgia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Georgia) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
