Southern Senior Living sits at 215 East Sellers Street in Douglas, Georgia, and is a small assisted living community with a capacity for up to 6 residents, located in a private residential house setting that feels comfortable and secure, so people can get the attention they need without being overwhelmed by a large crowd. The staff stays awake on-site 24 hours a day, offering help with things like bathing, dressing, hygiene, and getting in and out of the shower, plus medication assistance and two-person transfers if needed, and there's support for those needing insulin shots or help with toileting as well. Residents get prepared meals-one or two each day-and snacks, with options for special diets like those for diabetes, high blood pressure, or allergies, and caregivers are ready to make adjustments if a resident's health condition requires it.
Housekeepers provide laundry and dry cleaning, keeping rooms clean and neat, so families don't need to worry about day-to-day chores. There's planned entertainment that includes movie nights, music therapy, art programs, animal therapy, tabletop games, outside trips, physical activity, and social night events, while other amenities include a garden, walking paths, recreation areas, a book room, hot tub, sauna or health room, and a hairdresser or stylist if someone wants a haircut or just to feel refreshed. Emergency alert systems and secure doors help, especially for those in memory care, so if someone likes to wander, the staff can keep them safe, while memory care also means there's specialized support for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia to help them avoid confusion.
Transportation gets set up so people can still make it to the doctor, shopping, or whatever spiritual service they may attend, and the staff helps coordinate these appointments, plus transportation and parking are available so visitors have less trouble. The facilities, including ones like Pocotaligo River Health and Rehab and Lake Marion Health and Rehab, are recognized by CMS with Five-Star Quality Ratings, and skilled caregivers look after each person's needs, putting together personalized care plans that respect residents' dignity and independence.
Assisted living is the main service here, but there are also memory care, hospice, respite, and long-term care options, so folks can get what they need if health changes or extra care is required after a hospital stay. On top of regular care, healthcare services may include incontinence care tailored to individual needs. There are also wellness and fitness programs that try to get everyone moving and feeling good, and the dining room serves meals planned by chefs who try to put taste and health first. Residents enjoy social recreation, group meals, and activities to keep minds and bodies active, and the community has won friendly awards, showing the staff are known for being helpful and kind, making life more pleasant for all. The goal is to keep everyone comfortable, well cared for, and engaged each day, while supporting individual independence as much as possible.
