Habersham Home has a licensed 84-bed skilled nursing facility, and there'll be 22 certified beds available in June 2025 for skilled care, which means they take in folks who need help after surgery, illness, or a hospital stay, and they provide around-the-clock nursing care along with a 24-hour call system so residents don't have to worry about being alone if they need something during the day or night. The staff gives assistance with daily things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and managing medication, plus they help people who can't get around on their own, and they make sure those with diabetes or specific dietary needs get the meals and support they require-there's even a professional chef preparing meals with selective menus, and you can find special diets for allergies or diabetes, so nobody gets left out during meal times, whether you want all-day dining or to eat in the main restaurant-style dining rooms where you'll see high-definition flat screen TVs. The building's been getting upgrades here and there, like new paint and added features to make the place feel more like home, and they've set aside a small garden outside so residents can go out for some fresh air or walk on the paths.
The rooms are either private or semi-private, and they're fully furnished, have private bathrooms, and come with cable or satellite TV, a telephone, and Wi-Fi, which is handy if you want to use the computer center or just browse the internet. They offer independent living, assisted living, and memory care, as well as the continuing care retirement community part for folks who want to stay in the same place even as their needs change, and there's a fitness room, game room, library, beauty salon, arts and activity rooms, and a movie theater where they do popcorn movie nights. Activities aren't hard to find since they hold daily things like bingo, resident-run events, music programs, lemonade socials, scheduled walks in the garden, games, and arts or wellness programs, so most people find something to do or someone to visit with in the common areas or family day rooms.
There's housekeeping, laundry, transportation for errands or appointments, ongoing support for medical and emotional needs, and staff available for those who need help moving in. Residents and their families can take part in councils to bring up concerns and share ideas with management to help improve things. The place is a non-profit run by a corporation, so it isn't owned by a private person, and they take both Medicare and Medicaid, which helps out folks on different health plans. The team here tries to create a homelike, relaxed setting with a focus on safety, comfort, and keeping everyone engaged, while making sure medical care and daily help are handled with respect and professionalism.
