Country Place Senior Senior Living of Athens has a small, family-style setting with 24 private suites grouped near common areas so residents can visit with one another, and there's always something going on because a full-time activity director plans things like outings, field trips, clubs, and monthly spotlight activities, plus folks can enjoy daily programs, crafts for all skill levels, and a baby grand piano out in the foyer for anyone who liked to play, and the big family room with a flat-screen TV's got space to gather, too. Residents can step outside onto a garden patio or settle by the brick fireplace, and there's a quiet library for Bible study or reading, which is nice, and there's always a sense of belonging since staff encourage friendships and know everybody's needs, with meals planned by a chef and served in a comfortable dining room at smaller four-person tables, and there's also the option for room service if someone's feeling tired or unwell. The building's got Wi-Fi, cable TV, and interior and exterior maintenance, so the basics are handled, and there's scheduled transportation to take folks around town, whether it's to medical appointments, shops, or one of the group's planned short trips since some people really like to get out when they're able.
Assisted living comes in three levels, starting at light help with reminders and medication for those taking up to ten medicines and increasing for folks who need more like continence care, bathing help, dressing, grooming, or oxygen. The most advanced care, Level Three, brings full bathing assistance, therapeutic diets, incontinence management, and oxygen help, so even seniors with chronic illness have support. Memory care for conditions like Alzheimer's is available here and at select other Country Place locations, and there's a licensed nurse around during the day, 24-hour on-site staff, and a safety check every night. Help is on hand for medication, feeding, and managing daily needs, plus skilled nursing is offered on-site, including for chronic health conditions. Residents who speak only English will have no trouble as all services use English.
Pets are welcome, including cats and dogs in some suites, since staff know how much comfort a good animal brings, and there's a beauty salon on site too, which is convenient if you want a haircut or styling without going out. Regular in-house devotional services are held, and on some days there are off-site options, with the community also hosting Bible study groups for those interested. Suites come with either full kitchens or kitchenettes, so folks who still like to bake or make their favorite meals can do so, and there's always fresh, nutritious food served three times a day. The exteriors and grounds stay tidy with bright flowers and trees to make things cheerful, and the whole place keeps an easy, friendly pace. Residents need to be 55 or older, and caregivers are included in the life of the community, bringing in a close-knit, home-like style that's hard to find, and with awarded care, adaptive support for those with mobility or dexterity limits, and friendly staff, people say it feels like a place where you can really live well, not just stay. Housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and all basic services are taken care of, which gives everyone more time to do what they want. The community sits close to major roads and shopping in Athens, so it's easy for visitors and family to stop in. Each suite feels private and has space for personal touches, making it comfortable and welcoming, and there's always someone nearby to lend a hand if you need help.
