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.
Before you tour, jot down which county each place is in. It tells you who to call later.

Heartis Buckhead is a senior living community in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood with three options under one roof: active independent living apartments, assisted living, and SHINE memory care for residents with dementia. Independent and assisted living apartments run from studio-style suites to two bedrooms of about 1,580 square feet; memory care is suites only. The community also runs a veterans program with savings for those who served, and refunds the community fee if an independent or assisted living resident isn't satisfied in the first 90 days.
