The Palms at Lake Spivey is a retirement community in Jonesboro, Georgia, about 3.7 miles from the city center, and it's designed for adults aged 55 and up who want independent living, assisted living, memory care, or short-term respite stays. Folks around here can choose from one or two-bedroom apartments, some with full kitchens or kitchenettes, and there are also cottages with clubhouse access if that's what someone's looking for. The buildings have a classic look with red brick, beige siding, neat shrubs, and a big green lawn out front, and inside, the rooms are comfortable with beds, armchairs, big windows for good light, and simple furniture to make you feel at home.
People who live at The Palms get housekeeping, laundry and dry-cleaning, three meals a day through the MyChoice Dining Program-offering regular, low-fat, vegetarian, and low-sodium food choices-and they can eat with friends in an elegant dining room that's got white linens on the tables, green chairs, and those fancy chandeliers. There's a dedicated care team offering physical therapy, occupational therapy on scheduled visits, in-house doctor checkups, and help for conditions like diabetes and kidney care. They take safety seriously with a gated entrance and someone always around for security.
When folks want to get out and do things, there's a heated indoor pool and jacuzzi, a fitness center with exercise classes, a dog park, outdoor patios and gardens, a gazebo, a pond, a lake, and a courtyard with a grill and places to sit under umbrellas. There's happy hour in the cocktail lounge, volunteer opportunities, a barbershop and beauty salon, movie nights in the theater room with real theater seats, a library to relax with a book, and a computer room for going online. For games and fun, they've got a billiards table, card and game rooms, an activity studio, and a space for group events. The Palms is pet-friendly and even has pet therapy for those who need it.
Free transportation is provided for visits to parks and shopping nearby, and covered parking is on-site. Folks can also attend religious services and take part in clubs, group trips, or life enrichment programs. There's TV and internet service included, and a concierge helps with arrangements. With licensed assisted living, personal care, memory care, independent living, and short-term stays all in one spot, The Palms covers a lot of needs without being pushy about it.
