Overview of Dogwood Forest of Grayson

Dogwood Forest of Grayson, located in Grayson, GA, offers memory care, adult day care, and assisted living services. Every resident in assisted living has their own private space and receives assistance from staff for dressing, bathing, or medication management. A person who wanders is safer within the secured boundaries of memory care, with supervision. Daytime support is provided via adult day care, and because memory care is adjacent to assisted living, a resident can remain in place as their needs increase.

The 110 beds are distributed across studio apartments, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. A single resident has a private space in a studio, while a couple may occupy a two-bedroom together.

Courtyards provide residents with outdoor time. Within, there is a fitness center as well as a beauty salon. Short-term rehabilitation encompasses a restricted recovery duration, while respite care accommodates a brief stay during the absence or illness of the primary caregiver.

Grayson’s Walk Score stands at 49, indicating it’s car-dependent, meaning most errands require a ride after you’ve put away the keys.

Bill Windsor is the administrator.

3315 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Duluth, GA 30096
Overview of Parc at Duluth, Ga

Parc at Duluth, Ga, has assisted living, independent living, and residential care in Duluth, GA. Assisted living takes care of everyday activities, while the resident maintains a private apartment. Independent living refers to a personal lifestyle that does not require daily assistance. By having various types of care in a single location, individuals don’t need to relocate when their requirements evolve.

With 40 beds, the environment remains intimate, so staff and residents can become better acquainted. Housing varies from studios to one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The studio is a personal area for an individual, while a two-bedroom accommodates a couple or two friends sharing. Pets are allowed to join too.

With a Walk Score of 45, this area of Duluth requires a car for most errands, making it car-dependent, and community transportation is an alternative for getting around. There’s an outdoor dining option and a terrace.

A doctor is on staff. Respite is available temporarily when a caregiver has to travel or recuperate. Medicare is accepted, covering a brief skilled stay after a hospital admission concludes, not extended residency. Yania Bautista serves as the administrator.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Gwinnett County, GA

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 6 assisted living facilities in Gwinnett County, GA. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Gwinnett County, GA?

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 Gwinnett County, GA, 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 Gwinnett County, GA?

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.
