Approximately an hour from the Atlantic Coast, Sylvania is a small city with a senior population of around 2,500. The quaint Main Street square and friendly atmosphere provide a welcoming environment for retirees.

The city has two assisted living facilities for seniors who require room and board and who need help with daily living tasks. Also referred to as Assisted Living Communities (ALCs), these facilities are home to four or more seniors, and they provide meals, activities, medication administration and grooming. They are regulated by the Georgia Department of Community Health.
