At Dunwoody Place, our Life Enrichment Department understands that the most meaningful moments are not always found on the activity calendar—they are found in the emotional memories our residents share each day. We intentionally leave space for conversation, reflection, and connection, where stories are told, laughter is exchanged, and sometimes tears are gently comforted. In these moments, hugs, kisses on the cheek, and simple understanding become just as important as any planned program. We know that listening to a cherished memory or sitting quietly beside someone who wants to be heard nurtures the heart and soul. This time we set aside honors the life our residents have lived and reminds them that they are valued, remembered, and deeply cared for at Dunwoody Place. Big Thank you to resident Bonnie for leading our Short Story Time! .com

Caregiving for a loved one can be a few hours a week or a full-time job. Either way, understanding your long and short-term options matters.

Respite care and assisted living serve completely different purposes, even though both provide professional support. One offers temporary relief. The other provides ongoing care. Knowing which you need right now makes all the difference.

Our latest blog breaks down the types of respite care available, who each option serves best, and how short-term stays can actually help families make better long-term decisions. Plus, we answer the question caregivers ask most: how long can you actually stay in respite care?

If you're managing care responsibilities, this guide is for you.

Here's something most people don't realize: the term "facility" peaked in the 1990s and has been declining ever since. There's a reason for that.

Today's older adults aren't looking for institutional settings that feel clinical. They're streaming content, booking travel, and rejecting stereotypes about aging. Many don't even want to be called "seniors."

So, why would they move to a "facility?" Simple answer: they don't.

Our latest blog reveals what's changed about senior living and why the words we use actually matter. The difference between senior living facilities and communities isn't just semantics.
