Residential care homes in Atlanta may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Atlanta care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Atlanta, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Summerhill, Green Acres and Kingswood.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Avondale Estates, Buckhead or Commerce.

Read moreOur family had an in person tour and we absolutely loved this community, 5 stars across the board. The staff to resident ratio is very low - in the single digits and the amount of time the staff have been there really stood out to us. We met people who had been there 5 years, 8 years, 10 years and beyond. It is more expensive but you are getting what you pay for.
Read moreOur family had an in person tour and we loved it, 5 stars across the board. The community is open, airy, and the people looked so happy. The apartments overlooked a beautiful courtyard. The amenities were great and they even served us lunch which the food was so good. However the community was just a tad to big for our loved one and the sales manager was just a little to pushy.

MARTA provides public rail transportation throughout Atlanta and also offers streetcar services around the city’s entertainment district. Atlanta is considered very walkable, which means most errands can be completed on foot. The Fulton County Uber/Lyft program provides transportation to eligible Fulton County seniors who are 60 years old and above.
Atlanta offers several health care providers for seniors wanting to be proactive about their health or for seniors seeking treatment for chronic conditions. The area has several world-class hospitals, including Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital, Northside Hospital, and Emory University Hospital.
The Atlanta metropolitan area is the ninth most populous city region in the United States, and as such, has plenty to offer in the way of entertainment and recreation. Atlanta is a city steeped in history and culture, and is full of opportunities to enrich your mind or simply take a minute to relax and appreciate the beauty of your surroundings. The Atlanta History Center, located in the Buckhead District, is a history museum that includes various exhibits — historic houses, gardens, and a rotating events schedule. Near downtown Atlanta you can find The King Center, a historic site and “living memorial” dedicated to the life and legacy of celebrated civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The King Center is located on a 35-acre historical park encompassing several buildings and monuments integral to Dr. King’s history and influence. For those interested in science and marine life, Atlanta boasts a world-class aquarium.

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:
Residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
In the state of Georgia, the median monthly cost for a room in a care home is about $2,050. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
A Place for Mom’s local Senior Living Advisors can help find the right residential care home in Atlanta for you or your loved one.
