Mariana Home Care sits in Braselton, Georgia, tucked away near Cooper Creek with city views, right off Hwy 211 and a short drive from Exit 126 on I-85, making it easy to find for family and visitors and close to local spots like Chateau Elan Golf & Wine Resort, and when you turn in from Auger Falls Drive, Fisk Falls, or Madrid Falls, you'll see this is a quiet, private, family-owned residential care home with space for only a handful of seniors, so things never feel crowded or rushed and everyone can get to know each other. The facility itself, a single-story ranch house over 3,300 square feet, keeps all bedrooms and living areas on the main floor with easy access, granite counters, and hardwood or tile floors, so anyone moving around with walkers or wheelchairs won't have trouble, and with wheelchair accessible showers and private bathrooms, daily routines get simpler for folks with any mobility issues.
The place has cared for seniors since 1995, taking in those 55 or 62 and older, serving people who want independent living or require more help, offering assisted living, short-term respite stays, and care for those with Alzheimer's, dementia, mental handicaps, diabetes, and even higher medical needs, while also providing memory care and skilled nursing within a board and care home's cozy setting, and it's the kind of environment where someone might need help with getting dressed, bathing, using the toilet, or keeping up with medication, and there's always a qualified staff member around, day and night, who's trained in CPR and First Aid, plus a visiting registered nurse and an on-call doctor - which means residents don't need to worry if something comes up suddenly.
In the kitchen, staff prepare home-cooked meals every day, served family style at the dinner table, and anyone who needs vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free, or low sodium meals gets them; there's also a meal program for one or two prepared meals a day, and help with housekeeping, laundry, linens, and even grocery shopping, and if a resident needs reminders or help scheduling activities, help's always ready, since the staff works with each person to make sure they're comfortable and safe.
The atmosphere feels friendly but quiet, never overwhelming, with modern upgrades and a clean, lived-in feeling you notice right away, so folks who like a more personal, homelike touch rather than a big institutional building usually feel relaxed here; families appreciate the spiritual side too, since there are on-site and off-site devotional services, a beautician comes regularly, and the staff includes Romanian speakers for anyone who prefers to talk in their native language.
Residents can join in on all sorts of things on site, sometimes listening to visiting bands or musicians, joining devotional activities, taking part in health and fitness programs, or going outdoors to the enclosed courtyard with others, and when it's time for both social time and privacy, the mix of indoor and outdoor common spaces, small-group programs, and private rooms with baths work well, especially since the home focuses on keeping everything clean and building real friendships between caregivers and residents.
With only a few residents at any time, each person gets a care plan that fits what they need and wants, whether that aid is for dressing, health, memory issues, or help with special diets; the staff have lots of experience-not just with basic care but with harder cases like schizophrenia or hospice care, so people aging in place, needing support, or looking for short-term stays can adjust and stay secure. Because the home sits close to highways and big amenities, but away from heavy traffic, regular visits from family and trips around town are easy, so people living at Mariana Home Care stay connected to their relatives, their community, and each other in a setting where nothing is rushed and each need is noticed.
