We Are Family II is a senior living community found at 581 Collingwood Drive in Decatur, GA, where folks can get assisted living, memory care, independent living, and even home care if they're still living on their own. The place covers care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, giving special attention to help with memory loss, confusion, and wandering, and offering programs that make things easier and safer. They have trained aides who provide non-medical care and companionship at home when that's needed, and they've got in-home care referral services for people who want to stay put. The campus has both private and semi-private rooms, some with their own baths and tubs, so a person can usually find something that fits.
If someone needs more help, there's nursing home care and hospice service too, which means the staff can shift along with a person's needs, from being mostly independent to needing full-time comfort care. There's support for things like incontinence, help with mobility and dressing, and even special attention for conditions like Parkinson's or diabetes. They offer meals, including vegetarian and kosher options, and the award for Best Meals and Dining suggests folks find the food pretty good. The staff goes for a friendly feel-some awards say it's the Most Friendly place around-and they have a skilled culinary team behind the kitchen. Programs keep residents moving and help them stay active and social with things to do both on site and on trips out, and there's an activities director planning things like games and gardening, even outings.
For folks who like some peace and quiet or want company, there are indoor and outdoor common areas, gardens, a game room, and a fitness room, plus a beauty and barber shop. Sometimes they have private dining rooms and even a snack shop. There's an on-site pharmacy, laundry service, and help with housekeeping, and transportation is covered, either as a free service or for a fee. People can bring their pets to some locations, cats and dogs both, which feels more like home for some. The community also has elder law attorneys and geriatric care management services to help with legal stuff and care coordination. They offer short-term respite stays to help caregivers take a break now and then, and there's always access to healthcare services with licensed nurses involved. Community awards highlight their good care, activities, and friendly staff, and the review scores, while not listed here, do include some positive notes from residents and their families. The whole setup is shaped around supporting independence, keeping everyone as healthy as possible, and making sure nobody feels left out or bored.
