The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Norcross, GA for 2024

Norcross is a growing community in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Seniors aged 65 and older represent almost 6% of the city’s over 17,000 residents. Despite its relatively small community of older adults, the city is part of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities and has many programs in place for seniors, including tax exemptions and a county-managed senior center.

Assisted living communities help seniors maintain their independence while receiving help with some daily living tasks. Residents in these facilities receive custom care plans based on their needs and preferences. Most of these communities provide meals and housekeeping and include amenities, such as libraries, social events and access to wellness programs. In Norcross, the average monthly rate for assisted living of $4,000  is lower than the U.S. average but higher when compared with the rest of the state.

This guide introduces some elements to consider when looking at assisted living in the Norcross area along with the costs seniors can expect to pay for residential care. We’ve also added a list of helpful resources for older adults in the city.
