SPECIALIZED ALZHEIMER’S CARE AND MEMORY LOSS CARE IN AUSTELL, GA
Specialized care. Personal approach.
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of memory loss or dementia is never easy. What’s even harder is making the decision to have someone else care for them. You can rest assured they’ll be in good hands at Hearthstone, the Memory Support neighborhood at Presbyterian Village Austell.
Hearthstone Memory Support provides the highest-quality Alzheimer’s and dementia care in Georgia. We’re not an Alzheimer’s nursing home. Rather, we take a personalized approach to memory care. We provide a safe, secure and homelike environment that incorporates state-of-the-art design and leading-edge care methods. In addition, our exceptionally high staff-to-resident ratio assures your loved one will receive the personal attention, emotional comfort and calming stability they need. All of which means peace of mind for the entire family.
Our unique approach earned Hearthstone at Presbyterian Village Austell a Georgia Best Practices award for resident-centered care.*
*Georgia’s Best Practices is a voluntary participation program by the state Department of Human Resources for more than 1,700 personal care homes and assisted living communities.
THE HEARTHSTONE APPROACH
Empowering independence and engagement.
Modeled after the Montessori concept of self-directed activities, Hearthstone meets the special needs of aging adults with memory loss by using a person-centered care approach. Residents are encouraged and supported in their established routines. Each day’s schedule is personalized, so residents choose whey they will rise, dine, prepare for the day, and retire for the evening. For working jigsaw puzzles or joining in sing-alongs to safely going for a walk, each resident can select their day’s activities. We’ll even keep your loved one’s favorite ice cream in the freezer.

CUTTING-EDGE MEMORY SUPPORT MODEL
The details matter.
The Hearthstone Memory Support neighborhood at Presbyterian Village Austell features a cutting-edge design from the internationally renowned firm of Perkins Eastman Architects. Within the neighborhood, there are 24 private studio apartments with private baths. Common living areas create a homelike atmosphere that encourages residents to engage with one another. Every detail — including memory-cued decor and furnishings — helps residents maintain self-sufficiency. Even the floor textures and wall colors prompt residents toward greater independence in daily living.
While mealtimes are always of the individual’s own choosing, residents also enjoy gathering in the homelike, open country kitchen and choosing from menu selections designed appeal to a wide variety of tastes and dietary preferences. Accessible, secure outdoor courtyards add a natural experience, and planned off-campus trips give residents the opportunity to explore and be active in the larger community.
