Gardenias sits quietly on Dutchtown Road in Hampton, Georgia, offering a secure and peaceful place for seniors with a strong sense of southern hospitality, and the folks there really care about safety and comfort, so you'll notice the gated courtyard, keypad-locked entry doors, and even alarm technology on the windows to keep everyone safe, especially those with memory loss or Alzheimer's, and the community uses a computerized wander alert system with bracelets to make sure no one goes missing. The rooms are simple but comfortable, with private and semi-private suites, each with its own bathroom, two double closets, a window with a view, and temperature control-something folks always want in Georgia. Gardenias offers plenty to do, so you don't have to feel bored, because there's a full schedule of activities, including yoga, art classes, cooking, a gardening club, story time, trivia, game nights, and even a resident musical group, plus they have a full-time activity director who puts these together-there's indoor and outdoor common areas, a sunroom, library, snack and lounge spaces, and a movie theater for everyone to enjoy, and the raised garden beds out back give residents a nice bit of fresh air and purpose.
Meals at Gardenias come from an elegant restaurant-style dining room with three healthy and tasty options each day, or, if you want a quick bite, there's snacks and drinks available, and they do a good job serving special diets like low salt, low sugar, or vegetarian, plus room service is an option, and guests can dine with their loved ones too. They also have devotional services offsite and meditation spaces for spiritual needs. When it comes to health and help, there's 24-hour staff coverage with nurses, professional caregivers, in-house skilled nursing, and an RN on call, making it easier for residents to manage medication, diabetes care, and other personal needs with reminders for restroom use or even help with transfers, since they'll use everything from standby help to mechanical lifts if needed. Folks can set up short-term stays for respite care at a flat rate, hospice care is available for those requiring end-of-life support, and there's physical and occupational therapists who visit, so keeping up with wellness is easier, especially with scheduled programs and memory care services for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and each resident gets individualized care plans so no one's just a number.
Gardenias understands families come to visit often, so there's resident and guest parking, plus transportation for doctor's appointments, outings, and errands, all with staff support for extra safety, and wheelchair accessible showers, full bathtubs, and ground-floor units make getting around easier, whether a resident moves with or without assistance. Laundry, housekeeping, linen services-even clothing folding and dry cleaning-are all included along with utilities, maintenance, and personal care in a single monthly rate so folks can plan ahead. Rooms are wired for cable and internet, and the beauty salon and barber shop bring a bit of extra comfort. Gardenias is a licensed community offering assisted living, memory care, dementia care, and independent living, letting residents age in place, and they do allow some pets. Payments can be made through insurance, credit card, or check, and the staff speak Spanish and French, helping everyone feel included. At Gardenias, people value kindness, try to be helpful, and aim to create a friendly spot for seniors and their families.
