Montclair Assisted Living sits on 16 acres of park-like land in Decatur, Georgia, right by a private lake where you might catch sight of geese, herons, and turtles now and then, and the trails here connect to local parks and the Williams Library, with plenty of benches along the shady, landscaped walkways for resting. The community works under a not-for-profit model, and the all-inclusive pricing covers daily living no matter the level of care a resident needs, so there aren't any surprise fees as health needs change. Residents live in private suites that have comfortable seating, their own TVs, and cozy beds, and there are separate areas for memory care in a building designed for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, including secure technology like bracelets and systems that alert staff if someone starts to wander. The trained Care Partners handle everything from medication oversight and bathing to dressing and mobility, offering help when needed but always focusing on privacy and independence.
Meals at Montclair are chef-prepared and served restaurant-style three times a day, with healthy options, including vegetarian choices, and there's a coffee bar if you want a snack or a chat. The housekeeping staff takes care of cleaning and laundry every day, and the amenities include wheelchair accessible showers, Wi-Fi, an onsite fitness center, a saltwater pool, a library, an in-house cinema, a hair salon, massage therapy, and a peaceful gazebo over the pond. The grounds have walking paths, gardens with flowers and wreaths at the entrance, and an outdoor patio with shaded tables and umbrellas. Residents can enjoy enrichment activities, outings, and events about health and movement, and there's devotional and social programming, plus activity rooms for puzzles and creative work. Montclair welcomes veterans, provides condo-style independent living, and has transportation services for trips and medical appointments.
Specialized healthcare services-like visits from doctors, dentists, and therapists-are offered right onsite, and the staff can give insulin shots, monitor blood sugar, and help with more advanced care needs, so residents can age in place without moving out as care needs grow. Supervision is available 24/7, and assistance includes everything from simple standby support to using mechanical lifts for residents who need help moving. Memory care activities and a secure environment help seniors with dementia or Alzheimer's stay active and comfortable, and the community is both safe and friendly, with an emphasis on respect and a mission to care from the heart, following The Eden Alternative philosophy. Residents have a say in some services as voting owners in the condo association, and Montclair hosts regular meetings through the Atlanta Senior Care Network. The setting is quiet and scenic, the atmosphere cozy and modern, and the services cover daily needs simply and honestly.
