The Retreat at Loganville

Independent living cottages, assisted living suites and memory care studios share one campus at The Retreat at Loganville, 580 Tommy Lee Fuller Drive in Loganville, Georgia. Short respite stays of 14 to 29 days round out the options. Phoenix Senior Living operates the community, which also refers to its assisted living as personal care.

The cottages suit a resident who still handles their own day but is ready to downsize. Assisted living adds supervision of bathing, dressing and other daily activities, supervision of self-administered medications, and trained associates available around the clock. On-site physical, occupational and speech therapy can help a resident regain strength after an illness without leaving campus.

Memory care studios serve residents living with Alzheimer's or another dementia, and the community lists certified, custom-designed dementia programs. Families should ask how the memory care day is paced and how that area is secured. Meals are served restaurant style, three a day plus snacks, with a private dining room for family visits, and housekeeping, linens and high-speed internet are included.

A typical week can include worship services, craft projects, time in the resident garden or on the walking trails, a stop at the library or game room, and live entertainment. A salon and barber shop and a courtyard are also on the grounds. Scheduled transportation reaches outings such as Bay Creek Park, Meridian Park and Vines Park.
