These facilities provide apartment-style accommodations, one-on-one care, meals, housekeeping and recreational activities. The average cost is $3,088, which is very low when compared to the state, the nation and major cities in north Georgia. It also provides an excellent value when compared to skilled nursing and other care alternatives.
