Dogwood Forest of Grayson is a charming assisted living community in Grayson, Georgia. It is within radiant Gwinnett County which is part of the Peach State.
Dogwood Forest of Grayson is now open! And is considered one of the top assisted living communities in Gwinnett County! Its location offers a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta, but offers convenience for community visitors. The brand new community includes top amenities for residents, including a wellness center & spa, bistros and full-service restaurant & bar, salon, and movie theatre. Our exterior spaces includes healthful outdoor herb gardens, walking trails, outdoor fireplace, and gaming courts which can all be seen from premium apartment porches and communal porticos located on multiple levels throughout the community.
In addition to the provided amenities, Dogwood Forest, a locally operated brand, believes in purpose-built environments and is dedicated to providing a true sense of community for our senior residents. Our communities encourage a sense of independence and foster cognitive stimulation. With a foundational faith-based belief in biblical concepts such as the trilogy, Dogwood Forest embraces the centering of mind, body and especially spirit; which we believe is instrumental to a person’s well-being. That’s why we offer a wide variety of different community events in which our residents can take part. These include a plethora of social activities including art and exercise classes, spiritually-centered activities, volunteering and all the other freedoms that typically come with living on your own, but with the security in knowing someone is there to provide assistance as they need it.
At Dogwood Forest, we want to make sure our residents know they can still live their lives. We believe that the environment you live in significantly impact the quality of life you live. That why we create environments that are residential, not institutional. We want our residents to thrive. This includes being able to continue doing what they love — and finding new passions — in an environment designed specifically to meet the needs of seniors.
Our new Grayson community features 99 total units. This includes 74 assisted living and 25 memory care apartments. It also features a beautiful stone facade, effectively disguise the steel infrastructure within. Many other living communities use other building materials because steel is expensive. However, we chose steel because it protects our residents in case of fire by isolating/containing the fire in one area.
Our environments are clinically proven to produce positive outcomes for our senior residents.
