Sterling Estates of East Cobb Retirement Community sits on 10 pretty landscaped acres on Lower Roswell Road and offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care all in a neighborhood setting. The community has 90 private apartments in studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom suites, along with 16 independent living cottage homes, which come in several floor plans from 1,000 to 2,400 square feet, so you see a real mix of living options and folks. The staff includes nurses and people trained in geriatrics, and residents can get help with daily needs or medication reminders when needed. There's a $1 million, 5,000-square-foot Sterling Way Wellness Center for fitness programs and wellness activities, and an indoor heated saltwater pool for water aerobics, plus a fitness room, gardens, outdoor patios, and common areas set up for social events, recreation, and visits with friends or family.
Memory care is handled in the in-house Legacy Room and with a full memory care program, with safety features like emergency pendants, pull cords, and a secure, monitored environment to help those with Alzheimer's or dementia. Safety is a big part of the community, with 24-hour security at the entrance, a gated parking lot, and emergency call systems right in the rooms, which also come equipped with things like grab bars, kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and temperature control. Residents enjoy meals in restaurant-style dining rooms or casual cafés, with lots of menu options, including vegetarian, kosher, diabetic, low fat, low salt, and renal diets, and the menus change all the time with daily specials.
The campus contains pretty outdoor spaces with gardens and seating, a beauty and barber shop, a chapel, computer room, indoor visitation rooms, and a therapy room, so there's plenty of ways to stay active or entertained, whether you're involved in a men's club, outings into the community, religious services, or one of the many group activities that focus on keeping people moving, thinking, and connecting. There's an emphasis here on supporting independence, but help is always nearby, and there's housekeeping, linen, laundry, pharmacy, and transportation services right on-site so residents don't have to worry. Residents can have overnight guests or visitors for meals, bring small pets, and use the on-site parking. Sterling Estates aims to build a strong sense of community and neighborhood where people can live as independently as possible with access to care if their needs change. The management's got decades of local experience and focuses on whole-person care and a friendly, welcoming environment, and the place has earned some awards for its quality and service, with many folks describing the staff as cheerful, helpful, and respectful.
