Overview of Cedarhurst of Oakwood

Cedarhurst of Oakwood is a 72-bed senior living community at 4340 Mundy Mill Road in Oakwood, Georgia. Administered by Kristen Lockwood, the facility provides assisted living and memory care services under a license active since September 2021. The property is situated in a car-dependent area with a Walk Score of 7, making on-site transportation services essential for residents. Monthly rates for the community start at approximately $3,150.

Regulatory records from the Georgia Department of Community Health show 23 total deficiencies since 2022, which is roughly 10% higher than the state average. A complaint investigation in October 2025 identified delays in medication administration, and earlier reports documented gaps in staff training for emergency and dementia care. Despite these findings, the facility’s recent reporting cycles show a citations-per-inspection rate of zero for the most severe “immediate jeopardy” categories, and no fines or license suspensions have been documented.

Clinical care is supported by 24-hour staffing and an on-site registered nurse responsible for health monitoring and personalized wellness plans. The facility offers on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy, alongside short-term respite care and memory support. The community is pet-friendly and wheelchair accessible, providing daily assistance with activities of daily living for residents with varying physical and cognitive needs.

The residential environment includes full-service, all-day dining with options tailored to specific dietary requirements. Shared amenities feature landscaped courtyards, walking paths, and common areas for daily social events and group outings. Standard service fees include weekly housekeeping, linen and towel services, utilities, and community-wide Wi-Fi.

Prospective representatives seeking a pet-friendly community with on-site rehabilitative therapy should evaluate the facility’s recent efforts to improve medication timing and staff certification standards. Individuals are encouraged to tour the campus and request the current nurse-to-resident ratios for the memory care wing before making a placement decision.

Overview of Dahlonega Assisted Living & Memory Care

Dahlonega Assisted Living & Memory Care is a 144-bed nonprofit facility at 120 Mountain Drive in Dahlonega, Georgia. Administered by Kathleen Pantaleo, the community provides assisted living and specialized memory care in Lumpkin County under a license active since December 2022. The property features a Walk Score of 28 and is situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, approximately 1.5 miles from the local medical center.

Regulatory oversight from the Georgia Department of Community Health includes 24 deficiencies since 2020, a rate approximately 14% higher than the state average. Historical reports documented issues regarding staffing levels, medication management, and incident reporting. However, a September 2025 complaint investigation resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, indicating a recent improvement in compliance. Public records currently show no history of fines, license suspensions, or “immediate jeopardy” findings.

A clinical team of licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants provides 24-hour supervision and personal care services. The facility’s larger scale allows for multiple common spaces and organized social programming tailored to both assisted living and memory care residents. Professional services focus on supporting resident independence while providing specialized security for those with cognitive impairments common to dementia and Alzheimer’s.

The residential environment emphasizes the scenic mountain setting with communal areas designed for group activities and relaxation. Shared amenities include structured social calendars, dining services, and housekeeping for all residents. The nonprofit governance model directs resources toward resident programs and facility maintenance, supporting a community-focused atmosphere in the North Georgia region.

Interested individuals seeking a larger nonprofit community in a mountain setting should evaluate the facility’s recent efforts to stabilize staffing levels. Families are encouraged to review the complete multi-year inspection history and confirm current nursing ratios during a scheduled tour of the campus.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Georgia

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Georgia?

Assisted living in Georgia supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Georgia?

Assisted living in Georgia is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

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.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 72 assisted living facilities in Georgia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Georgia?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Georgia, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Georgia?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
