| Arbor's
$40M plan for assisted living centers Atlanta-based
The Arbor Co. plans to ride the wave of aging baby boomers
with two new assisted living communities in Roswell GA and
Decatur that will together cost at least $40 million and
add more than 200 units. Assisted living centers target
seniors who don't need the around-the-clock attention of
a nursing home but want meals, medicine management and assistance
with activities like bathing and grooming. "We're not
looking for the quantity, we're really focused on the quality
of life."
That quality model means Arbor can charge a premium for
its services. Monthly fees at its communities are typically
around $3,350, compared with the industry average in Atlanta
of about $2,950.
Arbor's planned facilities will include a 17- to 20-bed
memory care unit -- a secured area for people with Alzheimer's,
dementia and other memory loss conditions. To keep pace
with the active lifestyles of their clients, assisted living
centers are investing in installing fitness centers and
wellness and disease management programs.

be easily able to alert caregivers if they need help. Auditory
or visual prompts will be available for assisted living
residents who need help remembering or completing tasks
Assisted
living is included in a report on long term care
quality that suggests the same quality measures
should
apply to all care settings, that licensure or certification
ensure
acceptable performance, and that quality reports be
disseminated through a government quality Web site that
tracks quality, such as Nursing Home Compare.

in the
“2007 State of Assisted Livings Housing” survey
