“We love it here! Neighbors are great!<br>Management staff goes over and above to help in any way!<br>Many activities and backs up to Mason Mill Park!”
“The transition to memory care at Arbor Terrace has been such a positive experience for my friend. She is surrounded by caring staff, and the activities that are provided help her feel not only cared for but helps with her cognitive decline. The staff at Arbor Terrace are spectacular!”
“You have an excellent senior center. Even better, your sales representative, Elana Trencher, was superb. Unfortunately the size of the apartments are too small for our needs. But again, Elana was wonderful to work with.”

How families pay for assisted living in Georgia
Most families in Georgia cover assisted living, memory care and independent living with private funds, often a combination of savings, retirement income and the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a parent or spouse purchased a policy years earlier, can also help offset monthly costs, though coverage terms vary widely and are worth reviewing closely before moving in. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can be applied toward the cost of care, and it is worth asking a veterans service officer whether a particular situation meets the requirements.

About these figures
Computed on October 23, 2026 from the 15 communities listed in Decatur, 380 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare.

No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change; the written summary was last revised September 25, 2026.
