5 communities
An independent living community on E. Crossville Road in Roswell, run by Resort Lifestyle Communities. One monthly rent covers three chef-prepared meals a day, weekly housekeeping, utilities and transportation, with month-to-month leases and no buy-in fee. There is no licensed care on site; residents who need help with bathing or medication contract with an outside home care provider that works in the building.
