Independent living in Smyrna
Smyrna is about 10 miles northwest of Atlanta, near I-75, I-285 and I-20, with Cobb Parkway, Atlanta Road and South Cobb Drive running through the city. For hospital care, Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center is in Marietta and Wellstar Cobb Medical Center is in Austell. It is worth asking any place you tour how they handle a trip to either one.
For a parent who still gets around well, Cobb County's Freeman Poole Senior Center on South Hurt Road and the city's Aline Wolfe Adult Recreation Center both serve adults 55 and over. Cobb County Senior Services is at 770-528-5355, and Empowerline, the Atlanta Regional Commission's free aging resource line, is at 404-463-3333. Take your time with the listings below.
