Hearts of Love

Hearts of Love sits in Stone Mountain, Georgia, and serves as a small, licensed Personal Care Home with only three beds, so folks usually get more attention than in big places, and the staff help with all kinds of everyday things like getting dressed, bathing, or reminders for grooming and toileting, and there's even help for folks who need stand-by help or assisted transfers, with a mechanical lift if needed. The staff stays awake and on-site twenty-four hours a day. They offer assisted living and memory care, with a special secured memory care area in a separate building, which means people dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia get activities made for them, plus safety systems like wandering alert bracelets and computerized alarms that go off if someone heads for an unsafe area, and the staff are trained to handle behaviors like exit seeking and physical acting out. They can also give insulin injections, check blood sugar, help people who can't walk on their own, and deal with high acuity care, incontinence, or medication management, so residents needing more care don't have to move somewhere else. The meals come prepared once or twice a day, and they serve both regular and vegetarian options, housekeeping and laundry services are included, and the rooms have private baths, tubs, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Activities happen both on-site and off-site, and the building has indoor and outdoor common areas, with features like resident parking and transportation if needed, sometimes for a fee and sometimes complimentary. Hearts of Love also provides board and care services, and they'll offer respite care for families needing a break or covering a short stay. Even though it's a small community, they do have the basics covered, including behavioral and diabetic care, plus the peace of mind that comes from a secured setting.
