Attiva Peachtree is a 55-and-older apartment community on Peachtree Boulevard in Chamblee, run by Cortland. It is rental apartments, not care — one- and two-bedroom homes with a rooftop terrace, a saltwater pool and a full social calendar, including sommelier-hosted happy hours and salsa lessons. Whole Foods, Octane and Phipps Plaza are close by, and there is no help with bathing, dressing or medication here.
