Southern Manor at Candler sits quietly behind an old white plantation house, offering both assisted living and memory care for older adults who can't live alone but don't need nursing home care. The community has several suite options, like studios, one-bedroom, and companion suites, all with private bathrooms, and residents can bring their own furniture or use the furnished rooms if they need. People get help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication, and there's a live-in staff to watch over residents all day and night. Staff are known for being caring and welcoming, and there's always someone around because the facility is open 24/7 with an emergency alert system and a 24-hour call system.
Seniors living here can use outdoor patios and gardens, and there are walking paths if they want to spend time outside. There's onsite parking for residents, and inside, you'll find a recreational arts room, spa treatments like massage therapy, a beauty salon and barber, movie nights, and a dining room with all-day restaurant-style service, plus snacks. Kitchen staff can handle special meals for people with allergies or diabetes, and guests are welcome at mealtimes. The rooms have telephones and cable access, and there's an onsite pharmacy, plus in-house laundry, dry cleaning, and housekeeping.
Memory care services focus on helping people with Alzheimer's or dementia feel safe and try to prevent confusion or wandering. Seniors who use wheelchairs or have trouble moving can get help from staff with transfers, and the building is set up to be accessible. Southern Manor runs a resident-led activities program, organizes community events, and sometimes hosts fundraiser events, like the Lemonade & Pastry Stand on June 20th that supports the Alzheimer's Association, and donations can be made through a QR code. Residents and staff both get involved in these activities. The community has a 5-star rating from several reviews. Other available services include onsite pharmacy, help with medication, and wellness checks, along with the arts room, gardens, walking paths, and move-in help.
