Thurston's Jean PCH is a licensed senior living facility in Chickamauga, Georgia, right in Walker County, where folks with memory problems like dementia and Alzheimer's can get special care, and the place itself covers a pretty big range since there are units set up for all stages of need, including 2 assisted living beds, several memory care units, and up to 42 dementia care units when you include all the related facilities under its name, so it's really meant for elderly people who want some help with daily living or need long term support. There's 24-hour supervision, an on-site nurse, and trained staff day and night who handle everything from medication management to incontinence care and bathing assistance, plus there's always someone around for transfers and wheelchair help, whether it's for moving within the room, getting to meals, or even going out for groceries thanks to the transportation services they provide. They serve fresh daily meals, with special menus for Alzheimer's and those who need pureed foods-plus snacks between meals-and the staff are good at giving feeding help or spoon feeding if that's needed, while also working with physician health assessments and regular checkups.
The place lets people bring pets, it's wheelchair friendly, and offers a mix of shared living quarters, studio units, and single bedrooms that come furnished, all with emergency pull cords or an alert system for safety, and families can expect laundry, linen, and regular housekeeping. There's an on-site bistro, a community kitchen, concierge help, massage therapy, a large living room, and a library, while folks also can use the wellness center, exercise spot, arts and crafts, movie nights, and more scheduled activities to help keep everyone active and connected, which also includes greenhouse and garden areas, a courtyard, and chapel services. The staff plan things for residents with Parkinson's and give extra help for anyone with mobility problems, offering transfer coordination and non-ambulatory care, alongside special attention for dementia and Alzheimer's, and that includes both programs for memory support and regular family meetings. Walkers, wheelchairs, and moving aids are all welcome, and visitors will find parking, while internet access and daily entertainment options keep things lively. All in all, Thurston's Jean PCH provides non-acute, long-term housing and support for seniors in a calm community, with everything set up for comfort and safety, really making it a steady place for older adults who want both health care and a bit of independence in Chickamauga.
