Matthews is a senior living facility in Tennille, Georgia, set up to help older adults live as independently as they can while still offering support when it's needed, and the place works well for people who want some help with daily activities but don't require skilled nursing care, and they've also got a secured community made for folks living with dementia or Alzheimer's, with programs and spaces meant to keep everyone safe, engaged, and comfortable. The community stays small and friendly, with only four senior and assisted living units available, and the living quarters include semi-private rooms, one-bedroom suites, and well-designed studios with non-slip floors and safety features, and you can find emergency buttons in each room, as well as basic utilities included except phone service. Residents here get help with things like bathing, dressing, managing medicines, transfers, incontinence, Parkinson's care, spoon feeding, and even speech or occupational therapy when needed, and there's always staff and a licensed nurse on call 24/7, plus supervision and falls management throughout the day and night.
Matthews gives seniors choices for daily routines and meals, offering chef-prepared food with options for dietary needs, snacks between meals, three nutritious meals every day, and dining help if it's needed, and the place has a dementia-friendly menu plus personal laundry and housekeeping, so most daily chores are handled. People can spend their time in shared spaces, with a movie theater room, patios, arts and crafts area, communal kitchen, group games like bingo and cards in the games room, a library, gardens, a wellness center, and even a computer center where residents can go online, and there are regular birthday parties, holiday gatherings, and off-site group outings for those who want to get out with others. The staff offers medication management, transportation to doctor's appointments or errands-shared and private-and there's a concierge service that includes fixing things in apartments, move-in coordination, and reminders for health screenings.
Matthews supports residents' well-being with daily events, church or chapel services, exercise and fitness areas, ADA-compliant bathrooms, Wi-Fi, cable TV, linen service, and help with dressing or bathing, and if needed, people get escorted within the building or supervised during medications. Family members can join in some planned activities, and there's a focus on making life comfortable, secure, and social without becoming overwhelming. The facility keeps things simple and homey, with friendly staff members, a pet-friendly attitude, and places to sit outside or gather for meals, and those who need memory care, rehabilitation, Alzheimer's care, or even just short-term respite care can find those services here. Residents' safety is a priority, with keypad entries and panic buttons, and all buildings are set up with easy access and safe walking areas, so seniors can feel at home while getting the support they need every day.
