Independent living in Tucker
Tucker is one of DeKalb County's younger cities, marking ten years since incorporation this year, and its parks department runs the Tucker Recreation Center along with the city's parks and trails. For older residents, DeKalb County's Office of Aging (770-322-2950) offers home-delivered meals, lunch at neighborhood senior centers, and rides to those centers. The neighborhood centers are open to DeKalb residents 60 and older, and three larger multipurpose centers add classes, health and wellness programs, and caregiver resources.

1 community
HearthSide Club at Tucker is a 62+ apartment community on Lynburn Drive in Tucker, renting one- and two-bedroom apartments. It is rental housing, not care: no help with bathing, dressing or medication is offered. The draw is the social side — a monthly events calendar, weekly workout classes, a community room and a bistro, in a smoke-free building.
What it costs here
Not enough communities in Tucker 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.
