Physicians

Our memory impaired residents at Governor’s Glen have access to some of the best dental and medical care in the Atlanta Metro area. In addition to having a licensed nurse on our full time staff, we have a board certified psychiatrist on call. Our seniors receive regular podiatrist visits, in house dentist visits and on site physical therapy. Because our residents suffer from dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other memory disorders, we also provide daily medication management.
