Senior Living Facility in Gainesville, GA

Beehive Homes of Gainesville's Community for Senior Living offer a continuum of care to meet the growing needs of aging members

Far more than just a home, the communities offer life-enhancing settings where seniors can enjoy the most of life, socialize, and get just the kind of assistance one needs for continued independence and quality of living.

Whether one is searching for a private active living community or needs to seek out memory care for a family member, options are available in Gainesville to suit every possible need.

Levels of Care

1. Independent Living

Independent living communities in Gainesville are designed for active seniors who live independently but want maintenance-free living. Residents are assured of an ideal balance of privacy and social interaction. Generally speaking, independent living applies to a private apartment or cottage for individual residents, but with general maintenance, landscaping, and housekeeping taken care of from time to time by the community services.

Amenities:

Each community will provide a standard list of amenities, including a fitness center, pool, walking paths, and library. Planned activities—socially like outings, exercise classes, movie nights, and book clubs—will be a part of the course and shall be interesting enough to provoke community interaction and banish the feeling of loneliness.

Dining Options:

Independent living communities offer a restaurant-style dining program that is nutritionally focused and choice-driven. This allows the resident to be able to have many choices to go and enjoy meals during free time, without having to cook.

2. Assisted Living

Assisted living facilities are those that provide a residence for seniors who require help in certain daily living activities but would still wish to retain portions of their independent living activities. Assisted living assists the following basic activities:

Medication Management: Conduct medication management and remind the resident to take medications on time as required. The medical staff will also assist in managing disease states.
Personal Care: Bathe, dress, groom, or transfer a resident with assistance.
Housekeeping and Laundry Services: Resident housekeeping services are provided on a regular schedule, along with personal laundry.
Meal Preparation: Healthy meals prepared by professional chefs are served in dining rooms; special needs diets can be accommodated as required.
Emergency Response Systems: Emergency call systems in each apartment enable the staff to respond promptly to residents' needs.

For whom is it intended? Seniors still relatively independent but needing some help with personal care and household chores.

3. Memory Care

Memory care units provide a special kind of care designed for individuals who have Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or another form of cognitive impairment. The communities are designed to be safe and predictable—limiting confusion—aside from engaging in specialized activities that stimulate the cognitive abilities of the residents.

Safety: Security entrance, and enclosed outdoor areas deter wandering and provide for safety.
Special Activities: Such activities as reminiscence therapy, music therapy, and sensory stimulation are available. These can be quite effective in re-enhancing cognitive function and quality of life.
Trained Caregivers: Caregivers receive special training in areas such as patience and understanding and proper communication with people suffering from dementia.
Target Audience: The seniors with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other related memory conditions that require special care comfortably and in safety every hour of the day.
