In terms of care and medical support services such as diabetes care, incontinence care, nursing or ambulatory care, medication management, or podiatry, Dunwoody Place does not provide these specialized health services onsite. The community’s support is centered around independent living, and residents who require assistance with activities of daily living—such as full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting—would need to seek these services outside the facility or at another care setting. The facility does offer amenities such as laundry and dry cleaning services, a barber/beauty salon, and fitness programs, which contribute to residents’ convenience and wellness. Social and recreational opportunities are supported through clubs and community events, although participation and scheduling may vary. Dunwoody Place welcomes residents of all faith backgrounds, including those seeking Catholic services or spiritual engagement, often provided through community partnerships or visiting clergy. Hospice care, memory care, or mental health services for those with psychiatric issues are not available at this location.
