Varenita of West Cobb is a two-story community for seniors, covering about 75,156 square feet, with a total of 81 living units, including 58 assisted living units and 23 memory care units, so it's not too big and it's not too small either, and the staff works hard to keep things simple for residents who might need a little extra help or might be dealing with memory issues, because you see the memory care at Varenita is for those who have Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, and there's a secure memory care neighborhood with 24 suites, and the team there uses some of the latest ways to support and relate to folks going through memory loss by offering things like music, art, movement, and sensory activities to help them stay engaged and safe without feeling too restricted. The assisted living part has 57 private apartments, and there's also AssistedPlus+ for seniors who might be starting to have memory trouble but don't need full memory care, so they get a little extra help with daily tasks, medication, bathing, and dressing, and if someone only needs a short stay, like after a hospital visit or when family is away, they offer respite care.
The living spaces use biophilic design, which means more nature indoors, and the apartments fit all kinds of lifestyles, with pet-friendly rules, private patios or balconies, kitchens in rooms, cable or satellite TV, and Wi-Fi, so there's a little something for everyone, and even folks in wheelchairs get around pretty easy because the building is accessible. All meals can be a big deal here because they've got a kitchen that serves gourmet dishes, and they can make food that's kosher, pureed, vegan, gluten-free, no salt, no sugar, organic, or vegetarian, with guest meals, international foods, and a restaurant-style setup, and this meal program's won the "Best Meals and Dining" award, which people notice. The staff's known for being friendly and helpful, with awards for "Best Activities" and "Most Friendly," and they work hard to keep everyone feeling welcome, with group activities for art, music, and social time to help people feel connected.
Varenita of West Cobb offers a continuum of care, which means if someone starts out more independent but needs more help over time, they can stay in the same community and get extra support as needed, like higher acuity care, diabetic help, incontinence care, non-ambulatory support, medication management, and health monitoring, and each resident has a personalized care plan that changes as their needs do. The building's design, the amenities, and even the landscaping are set up so people can enjoy being outside or bringing the outdoors in, and the staff work with each person's family for whole-person care. Tours are offered in person or virtually, since sometimes traveling's hard, and the approach is modern and luxurious but not stuffy, aiming to help residents stay active and engaged, and the pets really do bring life to the place.
The facility is backed by Reichmann International for funding, with Renasant Bank providing the construction loan, and it was developed by Griffin Living with Banko Design and IPA Irwin Partner and Associates, so a lot of thought went into how the building works for seniors. Overall, Varenita of West Cobb tries to make living safer and more comfortable for seniors who want a place with different levels of help available, a welcoming culture, and a focus on keeping body and mind active.
