The Lodge at Jasper

Three levels of care share one campus at The Lodge at Jasper, 200 Mountain Blvd. S in Jasper, Georgia: independent living, assisted living and memory care. Phoenix Senior Living operates the community, which also takes respite guests for 14 to 29 days. A resident can start with independent living and move into more support later without leaving familiar faces behind.

Independent living suits adults who want to downsize and keep their own routine. Assisted living adds supervision of daily tasks such as bathing and dressing and of medications a resident takes independently. Memory care uses certified dementia care programs shaped around each person living with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia. Trained associates are available at any hour, backed by call and emergency response systems.

Physical, occupational and speech therapy are offered on site, and staff can book medical appointments. Meals are restaurant style, 3 a day with snacks, and a private dining room hosts family meals. Residents can use a fitness center, group exercise classes, a movie theater, a library, a game room, a salon and barber shop, walking paths and a secured dog park.

Church services, live entertainment and complimentary transportation are part of the routine. Jasper sits in the north Georgia mountains, with Lake Lanier and the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest in the region and Atlanta to the south for bigger outings.
