The community was designed based on the latest Alzheimer’s research and includes high-tech equipment to help keep the residents safe. In addition, the community offers free programs to the public including seminars and support groups. Respite care is also available. There is a growing demand for these services as more than 130,000 Georgians 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

 

“Our innovative, state-of-the-art community is like nothing else in the Towne Lake area.  Our mission is solely focused on memory care, and we are setting a new standard for how memory care residents live,” said Susan Tidwell, Executive Director of Autumn Leaves of Towne Lake. “We are excited to bring our skills and expertise to our residents and their families. Our goal is to help take the burden off of families who struggle with balancing their lives while being caregivers.” 

                                                                                                                                                                       

Utilizing current scientific research, Autumn Leaves of Towne Lake will feature an innovative building design and cutting-edge technology to create a calm, safe, and engaging environment.  A life engagement program will fulfill residents’ needs for artistic expression, physical activity, spiritual support, community connections, continuing education, and lifestyle and leisure.

 

The community will also feature the state-of-the-art Vigil System, a motion sensor program in each resident’s private room that allows for safer independent living. The system subtly alerts staff members, if needed, and gathers information that serves to improve the resident’s comfort level.
