Decatur is the DeKalb County seat, a small city that sits right against Atlanta about six miles east of downtown. For a parent who likes to keep moving, the Decatur Recreation Center on Sycamore Street offers senior programs, including a seated aerobics class for people with balance or mobility challenges, gentle Tai Chi and Qigong, and a Wednesday neighborhood walk. The county's Central DeKalb Senior Center on McConnell Drive adds classes, meals, wellness programs, and caregiver resources. Emory Decatur Hospital has an emergency department. Empowerline, the area's aging resource line, is free to call at 404-463-3333.
Bring your parent along on a visit if you can. Their comfort matters as much as yours.

Donations from supporters pay for transportation, activities and programs the regular funding doesn't cover.
