Overview of Briarwood Health and Rehabilitation Center

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

The community has 100 beds. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours 3 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident across the nursing team. Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 21 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time assigned to each resident. Rehabilitation services and short term rehabilitation support recovery during a temporary stay, while the in house physician and geriatric psychiatrist provide medical and behavioral health support on site; the community also offers the “The Right Place, The Right Time, The Right Care” program.

Overview of Country Gardens Union City

North Charleston, South Carolina, serves as the location for Country Gardens Union City, a 50-bed licensed residential community housed in a two-story building that has been operating for 24 years. This property processes resident accounts using traditional financial paths and offers housing layouts split between private rooms and companion suites. The surrounding geography carries a Walk Score of 29, meaning the local streets are mostly car-dependent, so family members will typically need a vehicle when traveling to the site.

The two-story structural footprint organizes its daily operational workflows across the 50 licensed beds to balance personal care tracking with basic household management. The internal crew handles routine domestic duties, including kitchen prep, laundry loops, and floor cleanings, to maintain a consistent residential schedule. Daily operations are set up to support a stable environment, pairing individual room selections with shared common spaces for dining and relaxation.

Shared lounges and common rooms connect directly to the sleeping quarters, providing dedicated spaces where residents can gather or meet with guests. The administrative office tracks standard regulatory paperwork and shifts to ensure building operations stay consistent from week to week. Since specific service details, open beds, and internal programs can change, the front desk handles public inquiries regarding current vacancies directly.

Interested individuals can set up an appointment to walk through the two-story layout, check out the suite options, and verify the local driving routes.

Overview of Magnolia Place Assisted Living and Memory Care

Magnolia Place Assisted Living and Memory Care, in Rome, GA, is built around memory care, assisted living, and respite care. Assisted living covers medication, dressing and bathing, and the room itself is the part nobody helps with.

Memory care adds a secured setting and supervision, which is what a risk of wandering calls for once supervision on its own stops answering it. Respite care is help scaled to a short stay while a usual caregiver is travelling or getting better. Eighty-two beds are licensed, and two of those care types under one roof mean growing needs do not have to mean a move.

A Walk Score of 72 is very walkable, so most errands happen on foot. A resident without a car keeps the ordinary trips. A beauty salon handles grooming, and a gazebo gives residents somewhere outdoors.

A full schedule of recreational, social, and spiritual activities takes in chapel, singing, exercise, and special programs. Julia Lynn Barnes is the administrator.

Overview of Legacy Ridge at Buckhead

Five years into operating in Atlanta’s Buckhead area, Legacy Ridge runs an 83-bed assisted living, memory care, and respite care community out of a two-story building in Fulton County. Studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units make up the housing, and the neighborhood scores 68 on walkability, moderately walkable, meaning some errands genuinely work on foot. Jo Ellen Spivey leads the community as Executive Director.

The memory care side gets real attention here. Specially trained associates work alongside licensed nurses who are on call around the clock, and residents are encouraged to bring their own furniture and personal items into their rooms. That’s a small detail, but it matters for people transitioning into memory care, since familiar objects can ease the adjustment.

Daily life isn’t an afterthought either; card games, painting sessions, and morning walks fill the activity calendar, and a library plus raised garden beds give residents quieter ways to spend time. A hair and nail salon rounds out the personal care side, and transportation services handle the logistics of getting around town.

On the regulatory front, inspections here have tended to center on medication management, the one area that shows up most consistently in the record.

Legacy Ridge at Buckhead comes across as a community built around personalization within a structured care setting, blending licensed nursing coverage and trained memory care staff with the kind of everyday touches, a familiar chair, a garden bed, that make a placement feel less like an institution and more like a home.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Georgia Medicaid cover memory care?

Georgia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 406 memory care communities in Georgia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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.
