Nursing home in Atlanta
The City of Atlanta sits in parts of Fulton and DeKalb counties, and some listings here with an Atlanta address are in Cobb County. That matters, because senior services are run by county. Fulton County's STARline is 404-613-6000, DeKalb's Senior Link Line is 770-322-2950, and Cobb County Senior Services is at 770-528-5355. All three counties are in the Atlanta Regional Commission's area, so Empowerline, 404-463-3333, is a good free first call wherever your parent lives. Hospitals in the city include Grady Memorial Hospital and Piedmont Atlanta Hospital.

Fountainview is a skilled nursing home on North Druid Hills Road in Atlanta that takes only residents with Alzheimer's and related dementias — it calls itself the only nursing facility in Georgia doing that exclusively. Care is overseen by an in-house physician and geriatric psychiatrist, with nursing staff on duty around the clock and living space arranged by stage of dementia. They take long-term and short-term stays, including rehab, respite and hospice.

What it costs here
Not enough communities in Atlanta publish a starting price for a median to mean anything yet — it takes 5. We’d rather say that than average two numbers and call it a market rate.
