The Retreat at Madison Place

The Retreat at Madison Place sits at 3907 Redwing Circle in Ellenwood, Georgia, right in the Avondale Estates and East Belvedere Park area of urban Atlanta, and the place has been around since 2009 with 160 apartments across 144,560 square feet, offering both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, some with one bath, others with a three-quarter bath, built for folks 55 and older who want independent or active living and the option for support if they need it, and you'll find all sorts of living choices here-they do independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and other dementias, skilled nursing, nursing home, home care, respite care, hospice, and even adult day care, and the staff says they'll work with you to make sure care matches what each person really needs, with help available for medication and everyday tasks if that's necessary, and pets are allowed too, with dogs welcome up to 30 pounds and cats okay as well, so folks who have furry friends won't have to part with them. You get apartment features like baths with tubs, with laundry rooms on site, and they have community features like a gated entrance, fitness center, business center, media room, elevators, and even a game room right there, plus indoor and outdoor spaces meant for gathering or just relaxing, and you'll always find some activity going on, whether it's group events, lunches, or just something happening onsite to promote health and keep folks feeling connected. The property is near public transit, so if you don't want to drive, complimentary transportation and resident parking are both available, and those who smoke can do so outside or even in their own private areas indoors. The community prides itself on serving good, nutritious meals, and the aim is to create a cozy, home-like environment where people can feel comfortable, with the staff present to help with maintenance and just be available for support, and there's a focus on engaging residents in social, physical, and mental activities, giving everyone the chance to stay busy if they like. Some units are designed as shared neighborhood homes for people who may need round-the-clock care from a live-in caregiver, and there are therapies and layouts to help individuals with memory issues to reduce confusion and stop them from wandering, so families don't have to worry so much. The Retreat at Madison Place also received community awards like the Best of Senior Living All Star and Most Friendly in Senior Living, celebrating the kindness and joy of the place, and while every facility has its own character, this one tries to make people feel seen and supported, letting them live as independently as possible while getting care when it's needed. Utilities are metered, but the specific types aren't mentioned. Videos are sometimes available for residents or families who want to see more about life there. The community is currently under new management, which may bring changes as things settle in.
