Short-stay respite at Smyrna Village is for memory care guests and for guests who need personal care. Smyrna Village is a Georgia licensed personal care home specializing in memory care. We also welcome residents who need personal care at different levels of support. A respite stay uses the same admission criteria as a long-term stay. It is a way to have the home's support for a shorter time, not a different set of rules.
Respite is starting at $200 per night; rate depends on the level of support needed; call (404) 490-3719 for current rates. Ask about the level of support your person needs when you call, because that is what sets the rate. Kayla Turner, Executive Director, meets the resident and family before move-in and reviews medical records to confirm Smyrna Village can meet the person's needs. That meeting applies to respite as well as to a longer stay.
The community has 46 licensed beds across 38 private and shared suites at 1418 Spring St SE, Smyrna, GA 30080. The home is family-owned and veteran-owned. Step-free, ground-level entrances to both floors. The building sits on a slope, so each floor is reached from a ground-level entrance. Awake staff are on duty overnight. The public phone, (404) 490-3719, is also the after-hours line answered by community leadership.
Smyrna Village cannot admit anyone who needs 24-hour skilled nursing, a ventilator, IV therapy, or tube feeding, or who shows active physical aggression. That limit includes respite guests. A visiting registered nurse supports resident care. This is not a nursing home, and medications are given only by Georgia-certified medication aides and recorded in an electronic medication record.
A respite day follows the house. Breakfast is at 8 am, lunch at noon, and dinner at 5 pm, with snacks around 1:30 to 2 pm and at 7 pm. Menus are planned by the community's own chef and cook, and meals are cooked in the on-site kitchen. About two hours of structured activities run every day, weekends included, plus small-group or one-on-one time. The mix includes music, including music therapy sessions, art, chair exercise, Montessori tasks, and courtyard time. Families may visit at any time and sign in and out.
Tours are daily, by appointment. Call (404) 490-3719, use the contact form, or book a tour and walk the suites before you reserve a stay.
