ITR #3 Shallowford Group Home sits at 4462 Parmalee Path, inside Dekalb County in Atlanta, Georgia, and provides assisted living in a home-like setting for up to three or four seniors at a time, where folks get individualized care plans built around what they need, whether it's help getting dressed, taking a bath, managing medications, or just having someone check in at any time of the day or night since professional staff are around 24/7. The home offers assisted living and has a secured wing for memory care, so residents with dementia or Alzheimer's get specialized support from trained caregivers along with regular nurse and physician checks, and they do handle things like Parkinson's care, physical therapy, or incontinence needs if required. Residents can pick from different room options, including comfortable studio apartments and shared living spaces with safety features like grab bars and non-slip floors, and each unit comes furnished with washers and dryers, basic cable, WiFi, and emergency alert systems. The place is pet-friendly, welcoming senior pet owners with areas for walking and exercising their dogs or cats, and they even have access to grooming and veterinary services right there.
Meals are served three times daily, with options for special diets and all-day dining, and the kitchen staff can manage everything from allergy concerns to diabetes needs, while snacks are always available to those who want them between meals. The group home keeps a steady stream of activities going, so folks don't get bored or lonely, with fitness and wellness classes, arts and crafts, movie nights in the theater room, birthday and holiday parties, and plenty of games in the gaming room, like cards and board games, plus there are walking paths, a greenhouse, a bistro, and well-kept gardens for residents to enjoy. Daily life is made easier with help for laundry, housekeeping, and transportation, whether someone needs to get to a doctor or just wants a trip into the community for a picnic, and for those who like to be more involved, there are group outings, scheduled exercise programs, and off-site trips. Regular security, keypad entry, and ongoing health checks are part of the standard care, along with bathing, dressing, and feeding assistance for those who might need a bit more help.
The atmosphere is comfortable, aiming to let residents feel both independent and cared for, with community-sponsored events and spaces for residents to socialize or just spend time on their own, and the staff tailor support for each resident, whether they're there for long-term living or just a short respite stay. This group home is licensed for assisted living and memory care by the state, with thorough cleaning, well-kept grounds, a community kitchen, and rooms that balance safety and comfort. Residents get access to a personal laundry service, scheduled health screenings, massage and therapy options, and a steady presence of trained staff, nurses, and visiting medical professionals; the structure is set up to feel familiar and safe for folks needing a bit more help as they age, but without losing a sense of home and daily routine.
