Dunwoody Village sits on more than 80 acres of fields, woods, and lawns, which gives the place a peaceful feeling and plenty of space for walking and enjoying the outdoors, and there are enclosed walkways if residents want to move between buildings without going outside. The community has 265 independent living units, 61 personal care units, 20 memory care units for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and 81 skilled nursing units, so residents can find support that fits their needs and stay in one place even if their health changes over time. Dunwoody Village started back in 1974 and follows a Continuing Care Retirement Community model, providing independent living for healthy seniors, assisted living for those who need help with daily tasks, memory care with extra safety features, and skilled nursing for people who need more medical support, and since it's a non-denominational and not-for-profit organization, it focuses on care and services for seniors over 65.
The campus has plenty of things for residents, like a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a fitness center, lounges, an auditorium, and a community center with three dining options: a main dining room, a terrace dining room, and a coffee shop, and for hobbies or relaxation, there's a floral studio, a wood shop, an art studio, a library, a hair salon, and even a gift shop, along with a computer facility and a post office right on site, which means you don't have to leave for those tasks. The Penrose Carriage Homes offer another residential choice for people who want more space. People with pets can bring them, and guest apartments are available for family or friends who want to visit.
Dunwoody Village keeps things running smoothly with housekeeping each week, mail delivery, and transportation, including handicapped-accessible buses, and there's 24-hour security. The Care Center provides personal care, skilled nursing, memory support, respite care, and short-term rehab for residents. The Dunwoody at Home program sends trained staff to help seniors who want care at home with personalized services. Medical care is always available, with an on-site physician and a team to help with health monitoring and emergencies, and medic-alert systems help people stay safe, especially those with memory problems. Residents can take part in activities like live entertainment, wellness and fitness programs, lectures, trips around southeastern Pennsylvania, and cultural outings, while the activity calendar includes options for socializing, staying active, or learning new things.
Families, couples, and single people aged 65 and older move in, and the community lets people share time with others, make friends, and feel at home. The staff are trained to help so residents can enjoy privacy while having support when needed. Dunwoody Village organizes everything to support independence for as long as possible, but there's help nearby if someone needs it, and services like short-term rehab or in-home care are available even for people who don't live in the community. The whole set-up aims to give residents choices, offer a safe and pleasant environment, and make daily life comfortable without any pressure, so people can simply live well.
