The Sanctuary At Northstar
The Sanctuary at NorthStar, located at 3250 Quick Water Landing in Kennesaw,
Ga., is a beautifully designed luxury personal care community. Warm earth tones
and soft patterns, finely crafted furnishings and abundant landscaped grounds
create an environment that surrounds you with comfort and elegance. Even in the
smallest details - linens, crystal, and silver - you will find The Sanctuary to
be a welcoming and caring place to call home.
The Sanctuary at Northstar is a gracious assisted living community in
Kennesaw. It is located directly across from Northstar Church off Blue Springs
Rd., just blocks from Highway 41.

Within this hilltop setting,
seniors find assisted living and Alzheimer's care that provides families with
unsurpassed peace of mind. In both the assisted living and the Alzheimer's and
Dementia program, there are achievement-oriented activities for each unique
individual. Believing that Alzheimer's and other memory disorders are diseases
of the mind, not the spirit, they strive to inspire and stimulate that spirit
every day with activities and excursions that touch all the senses.

Many
seniors are now waiting longer to move into assisted living communities because
it is often difficult to find a balance between the independence they cherish
and the services they need. The Sanctuary helps to achieve this equilibrium
through a marriage of beautifully appointed private apartments and an extensive
menu of available personal care and concierge services.
The thing that makes
a house a home is the people in it. The Sanctuary at Northstar has an
outstanding group of management staff and caregivers, many of whom have been
with The Sanctuary for many years. They know all the residents, their tastes and
preferences, what they need, and even how they like their coffee. They excel at
making every person feel special.

jolly old elf. The welcome
mat is out and they are looking forward to
greeting
all visitors.

Residents enjoy a diverse schedule of
activities to support mental, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. One of
the primary reasons for moving into an assisted living community is to combat a
wide array of physiological conditions such as depression and general
decline.
These can often be averted or lessened through the integration of
companionship through social interaction, mental stimulation from organized
activities, and physical maintenance. Executive Director, Denise Richards
believes, "our success is largely the result of good daily nutrition and
hydration, exercise, exacting medication management, care-free living and
hugs."
