Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Gainesville may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Gainesville care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Gainesville, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Downtown Gainesville.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Braselton, Flowery Branch or Westside.

Residential Care Home
Mali and her team of caregivers really care for their clients and their loved ones. Mali brought my parent to the hospital and waited for me to meet her there before leaving the ER to return back to her staff and other residents. This is not what I experienced from another PCH in the past. Her team cares not just for your loved one but for you as well. She and her team have saved me and my child's sanity. Very gracious and kind. The facility and residents are kept clean at all times. They feed the residents well, monitor their medications and even help keep your loved one manicured and entertained. Worth every penny!!!!! Definitely worth a visit and I truly recommend giving her a chance to provide a home for your loved one......
