Does Summerset offer memory care?

Yes, according to its state inspection record: an HFRD complaint health survey survey dated April 14, 2020 describes memory care at Summerset. Georgia requires a separate Memory Care Center certification for a secured dementia unit, so ask to see the current certificate.

“BB said Resident #1 and Resident #2 resided at the assisted living section of the facility at that time, but after the incident Resident #2 was moved to the memory care unit.” — HFRD survey, April 14, 2020

Certification under 111-8-62-.19 / 111-8-63-.19 brings a secured environment, dementia-specific staff training and added activity and staffing requirements. Read our walkthrough on verifying Memory Care Center certification.

What does Summerset's license type mean for residents?

Summerset holds an Assisted Living Community license, Georgia's higher-acuity assisted living license under 111-8-63. ALCs must have at least 25 beds and may offer more hands-on help than a Personal Care Home, including medication assistance by certified medication aides and care for residents who need help getting out in an emergency.

Ask which license applies to the specific wing your parent would live in — some Metro Atlanta campuses operate a PCH and an ALC under separate licenses.

How does Summerset compare to other licensed communities in Fulton County?

Where is Summerset and what is nearby?

Summerset is at 3711 Benjamin E Mays Drive SW, Atlanta, GA 30331, in Fulton County. Hospitals serving the area include Emory University Hospital, Piedmont Atlanta Hospital, Grady Memorial Hospital.

Atlanta is the metro's population and healthcare center and has by far the deepest inventory of senior care, from small Personal Care Homes tucked into neighborhoods like Grant Park and West End to larger Assisted Living Communities and CCRCs concentrated in Midtown, Buckhead, and along the Druid Hills corridor. Note that Buckhead is a district of the City of Atlanta, not a separately incorporated city.

Its 30331 ZIP code covers Ben Hill, so families searching those neighborhoods will usually find Summerset on their list.

Veterans across the metro are served by the Atlanta VA Health Care System (Atlanta VA Medical Center in Decatur) and the Georgia Department of Veterans Service.

Who is Summerset a good fit for?

With 180 licensed beds, Summerset suits someone who wants a large-community feel: more neighbors, a fuller activity calendar and a bigger staff, at the cost of a less intimate setting. Its Assisted Living Community license allows more hands-on care than a Personal Care Home. It also has memory care on record, which can avoid a second move if dementia progresses.

How much does Summerset cost?

Georgia's licensing data has no pricing, so ask Summerset for its current rate sheet and care-level fees in writing. For context, memory care in Metro Atlanta typically runs $5,000 to $7,200 per month in 2026.

Because Atlanta spans the full metro price range — from budget-friendly West End options to premium Buckhead communities — it is where families have the most room to compare on cost and care level.

Paying for it: Georgia's Community Care Services Program (CCSP) waiver and SOURCE can pay for care services for Medicaid-eligible residents, but neither pays room and board in a PCH or ALC, and not every community accepts them. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid & Attendance. See SOURCE vs CCSP.

How should I evaluate Summerset?

Treat the HFRD record as your first reference check. Read Summerset's most recent HFRD surveys, then visit at a mealtime and again unannounced, and ask how the memory care team would handle a resident whose needs change.
