Clairmont Place

Clairmont Place is an energetic assisted living community in Decatur, Georgia. It is within scenic DeKalb County which is part of the Peach State.

Clairmont Place is a retirement condominium community that offers gracious independent living. We are a hidden gem nestled in a park-like setting on a private lake. We treasure our culture as if it were a precious gem as well.  At Clairmont Place we foster a culture that is a responsible and efficient steward of resources and also trustworthy, kind, responsive, and forward-looking.

Just what do we mean by “independent living?” Independent living is for residents who do not require assistance with daily activities or skilled nursing, but who may benefit from convenient services, easy access to activities, and increased social opportunities. Independent living at Clairmont Place means that residents live in their own condominiums, which they furnish and decorate and renovate and repair. There is a greater simplicity of life here than in a single-family house in suburbia. Cooking (and grocery shopping) are minimal because lunch and dinner are served in the dining room. Our staff driver is available for shopping trips, doctor appointments, restaurant reservations, and exciting excursions. Some residents choose to live in the Clairmont Place community simply for the social aspect of being with people their own age and easily engaging in activities with neighbors. It is easy to come downstairs and hear the youth choir perform or attend exercise class. It is also easy to go back to the condominium for privacy.

If a resident needs help with daily tasks such as taking medication or dressing or bathing, the resident either hires a private caregiver (usually a certified nursing assistant) or moves to the resident-owned personal care home located next to the condominiums, Montclair. Montclair provides three meals a day,  and a variety of activities to its residents, and is staffed 24/7 by certified nursing assistants.

The key to our life and community is who we are. We are a welcoming place with a true sense of belonging. We are a place to put down roots. We are proud of our success in cultivating a culture of kindness. That is the ethos, the culture that flourishes at Clairmont Place.

Integral to our culture is our caring and committed staff. Twenty-seven of our staff have worked at Clairmont Place for over ten years, and fifteen for over twenty years, and six for over twenty-five years.

Condominium ownership is a rare and rewarding arrangement in senior living. Clairmont Place residents own our condominiums as we age in place, supported by services that we select as voting-owners in the Clairmont Place Condominium Association. 

It is easy to get out and about in the fresh air when we live at Clairmont Place. We are surrounded by walking trails. We have gated access to the South Peachtree Creek Trail, with paths to Medlock Park, Mason Mill Park, and Williams Library. We are located steps away from the Clairmont entrance to Emory University, with a pedestrian tunnel under Clairmont Road connecting our campuses. From our windows, we watch the geese, blue herons, turtles, squirrels, and rabbits.
