Overview of Renaissance on Peachtree

Renaissance on Peachtree offers assisted living, independent living, and respite care in Atlanta, GA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private living space. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Respite care is a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The combination of independent living and assisted living may suit a resident whose care needs could grow over time, since changing care levels can take place within the same community. Renaissance on Peachtree has 70 beds and offers studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom layouts, giving residents a choice between a single room and a larger living arrangement. Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet when moving in. A Walk Score of 66 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach select nearby destinations independently. Raphael Fleuristal serves as the administrator.

How do I choose the right independent living community in Georgia?
