About Parkside Senior Living at Ellijay

Proudly serving the Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Jasper, & North Georgia area since 2009, Parkside Senior Living at Ellijay is honored to offer our residents more than just a place to live; we provide the comfort and love of home. With over 70 years of combined experience in senior care, we are dedicated to providing the atmosphere needed to help our residents live independently yet provide the dignified, personal care and daily assistance they need with 24-hour access to staff. You will find that Parkside Senior Living at Ellijay is comfortably furnished in traditional decor with the warmth of home. We have a variety of apartment styles to choose from, all with private bathrooms with walk-in showers. Located close to historic downtown Ellijay with beautiful mountain views, we are close to it all but tucked away from the noise and traffic in a serene, woodsy setting. From apple orchards to boutique shopping, our residents can enjoy the area while receiving as much or as little help as needed. An outdoor patio with a putting green, gazebo, raised garden beds, walking path, and a beautiful bird sanctuary is a favorite area for residents and families to enjoy visiting together. When the temperature is too chilly to enjoy outdoors, many residents can be found in our mezzanine reading their favorite books, chatting together, or working a puzzle as they overlook the stunning Blue Ridge mountains. We constantly strive to make a positive impact in the lives of our residents. We understand that the needs of each person are unique, so we develop activities and programs that will allow each resident to grow and experience life in the best possible way. Our well-trained and qualified staff is here to encourage and help our residents remain active and independent while providing them with the comfort, security, and care that they need. Parkside Senior Living at Ellijay is North Georgia's established senior living with local roots to better understand the needs and values of the seniors we serve in our community. Every senior living can offer the same basic services. Come experience the difference you can feel when you are welcomed through our doors and see for yourself why everyone says it feels like home.
