From its vibrant culture to its mild climate, it’s easy to see why Atlanta is such a desirable location for older adults. Atlanta is also home to dozens of assisted living communities that allow seniors to continue living in the city they love while receiving the extra support they need.

But that abundance of assisted living communities means that choosing the right community for your needs can be challenging. Not only does a community need to be the right fit for your budget, it also needs to suit your requirements when it comes to care, amenities, services, and more.

Our senior housing team thoroughly researched the assisted living communities in Atlanta and selected the best results to help with your search. We’ve highlighted the must-know details about each community and also included some facts about senior living in Georgia. You’ll find plenty of tips to help you explore your options and choose the community that’s the best fit for your needs.

Our Methodology: How We Chose the Best Assisted Living in Atlanta

There are tons of great assisted living communities in Atlanta. So, narrowing it down to the best options required a detailed process. We spent over 50 hours researching and evaluating communities to decide which were the very best. We used the following factors to choose the best assisted living communities in Atlanta:

  • Cost: Cost can vary a lot between different communities, so we considered both cost and the value that each community offers. We also looked for extra fees, like entrance fees, so you have a better idea of what you’ll pay upfront. We tried to include communities at multiple price points to work with different budgets. Any prices listed below were gathered from community websites or conversations with staff members.
  • Types of care offered: We considered the types of care available, including whether a community could meet a resident’s evolving care needs over time. We also looked for safety features, like emergency alert systems and door alarms.
  • Available amenities: As we evaluated communities, we considered how each community’s amenities could enhance a resident’s wellness and happiness. For example, fitness centers and pools are particularly important for supporting resident wellness.
  • Location: We weighed how a community’s location would affect residents. Our team looked for communities with convenient access to local shopping destinations and medical resources. We also considered whether the facility offered transportation to those locations.
  • Staff: Staff can truly shape a resident’s experience at an assisted living community. So, we looked for communities that hired talented staff members who are personally invested in their work.
  • Reviews: We spent hours reading dozens of reviews to get a sense of what life in each community is really like. We looked for common themes that were repeatedly mentioned in reviews, and we noted those themes in our community writeups.

How to Find the Right Assisted Living Community for You

While this list of the best assisted living communities in Atlanta is a great place to start your search, you’ll ultimately need to decide which community is the best fit for you. These tips can help you to narrow down your options and find the right community:

  • Identify the care you need. Consider the types of care that you need, such as medication management, assistance with bathing, and more. Additionally, try to anticipate what types of care you’re likely to need in the coming years. Then, look for a community that offers those specific care types.
  • Determine the right atmosphere. Think about the ideal atmosphere where you would like to live. Consider factors like whether you want a busy and social community, a more serene setting, or something in between.
  • Calculate your budget. Now it’s time to do some math. Creating a budget will help you determine how much you can comfortably spend on assisted living. Keep in mind that Medicare usually doesn’t cover assisted living costs, so you’ll need to rely on Social Security benefits, long-term care insurance, and retirement savings.
  • Think about location. Consider what type of location would be best for you. Think about any local destinations that are important, such as the option to continue seeing a medical specialist. If you have family nearby or who will be traveling in to visit, the community’s location can affect their travel.
  • Read some reviews. Reading reviews can give you some additional information about a community, but don’t put too much stock into any one review. Every assisted living community will have at least a few negative reviews, so read many reviews and look for themes that they repeatedly mention.
  • Make a visit. Once you’ve narrowed down your list of potential communities to just a few, go visit each community. Visits give you a chance to talk with staff and current residents, and to ask any questions you have. After your visit, listen to your gut instinct as you decide which community is right.

We value communities that offer more than standard living services, such as memory care and independent living. We think this is beneficial for older adults, as it allows a community to meet your changing needs over time.

We read through dozens of reviews for every single contender and include a summary of our findings. In most cases, we see common themes regarding positive and negative feedback about each community. Just remember not to take individual reviews at face value.
