Our approach to assisted living is different as we are proud to offer a "person-centered lifestyle" which satisfies the unique desires and needs of residents and moves away from an overly structured approach. Family-owned since 1998 and passionate about our ideals, we have high staffing ratios and maintain consistent assignments.

We operate nine Communities in Georgia to meet the individual needs of Elder community members and their families.
**A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DAY SHIFT, SWING SHIFT, OR NIGHT SHIFT CARE PARTNER / CAREGIVER**
As a day shift, second shift, or night shift Care Partner / Caregiver, you arrive for each shift determined to treat each resident with respect and kindness as you build positive relationships with them. While providing the individualized physical, psychological, and social support that they need, you do everything you can to promote their dignity. You are patient and calm, treating them just the way you would want your own family members treated and adhering carefully to their Negotiated Service Plan. Your positive attitude makes a huge impact on the lives of our residents--as you spend so much one-on-one time with them, assisting with all the activities of daily living such as showering, toileting, dressing, transferring, and walking. You work together as a team to answer resident calls promptly and keep accurate records as required.
You encourage residents to attend meals in the dining room, escort them to and from, assist with serving, and help in any ways that meet their individual needs and desires. You observe and report any changes in their appetite or physical ability to eat and drink. You also assist with cleaning the dining room after the meal service as assigned. Maintaining a clean, neat, and organized work environment, including residents' apartments, is one of your top priorities. Your attention to infection control policies and established safety precautions ensure the highest quality of care. You are vigilant about reporting any changes in the condition of residents and protecting the confidentiality of personal and medical information. You go home each day tired but feeling good about enriching the lives of residents in your community and providing purpose and meaning to everyday life.
