Welcome back to our Manor Lake Ellijay Assisted Living and Memory Care blog! To start 2024, we began this mini-series addressing the basic difference between assisted living and memory care communities. Last week we covered “Do We Need Assisted Living or Memory Care”. We’re going to finish the series today providing you with tips for choosing your future assisted living or memory care community.

Once you’ve determined which service that most likely meets your needs, you should research assisted living and memory care communities within the Ellijay area. We strongly believe the more you know about your options, the more attractive you are going to discover us to be.

If you are already familiar with the area or are interested in sticking close to your current residence, it can be helpful to seek out recommendations from local personal physicians, financial planners, social workers, friends, and other relatives who may be familiar with our local communities. Additionally, it can be helpful to reach out to your local state health department for recommendations.

Once you’ve created an initial list of candidates, you can begin to narrow down the field by reviewing the specific services, location and price range that fits into your budget. From there, it’s important to take the first steps to reach out to the community administrators to schedule a tour of each community.

We trust this blog has served useful. Please know that we stand ready to invest all our energies to help you navigate this critically important research. Please contact us anytime here at Manor Lake Ellijay Assisted Living and Memory Care in Ellijay, GA.
