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.

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.
