The Phoenix at Milton

Adult children weighing assisted living for a parent in north metro Atlanta often want care close to their own homes and near a hospital they already know. The Phoenix at Milton, at 13943 Highway 9 with an Alpharetta address, offers assisted living, memory care and respite stays of 14 to 29 days. Phoenix Senior Living operates the community and describes its setting as Milton, a quiet suburb north of Atlanta.

In assisted living, staff supervise bathing, dressing and other daily routines and oversee residents who take their own medications. Trained associates work around the clock, backed by a resident call response system and an emergency response system. Physical, occupational and speech therapy are provided on site, and group exercise and wellness classes help residents keep up strength and balance between therapy sessions.

Memory care draws on certified dementia care with custom-designed programs for people living with Alzheimer's or another dementia. Meals come 3 times a day plus snacks in a restaurant-style dining room, and a private dining room hosts family visits. Each private or semi-private apartment has a spacious bathroom and a kitchenette. Housekeeping, linen service, high-speed internet and concierge services are also listed.

On campus, residents have a library, a game room, a salon and barber shop, a courtyard and walking paths. Church services and arts and crafts are part of the week. For medical care, WellStar North Fulton Hospital is among the hospitals in the area, and outings can reach Lake Lanier, Ameris Bank Amphitheater and the Mimms Museum of Technology and Art.
