Tender Personal Care Home #2

Tender Personal Care Home #2 sits in a quiet spot with a lovely lake view and a peaceful atmosphere that gives people a sense of being at home, and for over twelve years, this family-owned and operated community, run by a mother and son, has offered residential care and memory care for up to ten residents in a single-story, wheelchair accessible building with European style and comfortable furnishings, and you'll see an open backyard with a paved walkway, a fenced two-acre property, and a large backyard deck that looks out over the water. This Georgia-licensed facility takes both men and women and can help those who need stand-by or transfer assistance, including people who use lifts, walk in tubs, or need reminders for using the restroom, and the staff knows how to handle incontinence care and residents with diabetes, since they can monitor blood sugar and help with insulin or other medicine injections, and they're glad to welcome people who have memory issues, Alzheimer's, major behavior problems, or who sometimes wander, and they use a special wander alert bracelet and a computerized alarm system for safety. Residents get three healthy, home-cooked meals served in a family-style dining room each day along with snacks, and there's always someone around to help, since staff and nurses are available 24/7, and there's a doctor on call, plus visiting specialists for feet, speech, and therapy needs, which really helps when health needs pop up at unexpected times. The place features private bedrooms with their own baths, including wheelchair showers and full tubs, and both indoor and outdoor common areas for relaxing, group activities, or devotional services if someone wants to attend. For seniors who need memory care, there's a separate memory care section in its own building, and caregivers follow personalized plans for Alzheimer's and dementia, so each resident gets just the right help, and the community is good at helping people with big behavior changes, confusion, or the urge to walk off, keeping everyone safe with alarms and a fenced yard. The home is close to Gwinnett Medical Center Hospital and a fire station, and for people who don't drive, the community provides transportation for errands, shopping, and appointments, plus there's resident parking for those who still have cars. Tender Personal Care Home #2 allows pets and aims to help everyone stay social, with scheduled activities that encourage friendships and keep minds busy, including special programs for folks with memory trouble, and staff keeps the building clean, helps with laundry, handles grooming and hygiene, and makes sure everyone has what they need for daily living, but also supports independence as much as possible. They allow smoking only outside, and both hospice and respite care are available for those who need extra support for a short or long while, so most any need is met with a practical, caring approach, and visitors often comment on how residents are treated like family and made to feel comfortable and respected in what really feels like a safe, elegant, and down-to-earth home.
