Welcome to Governor’s Glen Assisted Living
The Atlanta assisted living community, Governor’s Glen, offers adult daycare, short-term respite care, and long-term assisted living for the elderly suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other cognitive impairments. A daycare participant may come for any 8 hour period during the day to allow his or her at-home caregiver to attend to other things, such as work or running errands. Daycare participants receive the same attention and high level of care as the long-term residents and respite care visitors receive. Everyone is encouraged to participate in a variety of social activities like exercise classes and special entertainment events. Pet and music therapy, among other techniques to encourage residents and visitors to engage with the community, are utilized as well. Governor’s Glen even offers an on-site barber shop and beauty salon for everyone to enjoy.
