Does The Arbor at Bridgemill offer memory care?

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.

How much does The Arbor at Bridgemill cost?
HFRD does not collect or publish rates, so the only reliable number is The Arbor at Bridgemill's own written rate sheet. For context, assisted living in Metro Atlanta typically runs $3,900 to $5,900 per month in 2026.
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 The Arbor at Bridgemill?
Treat the HFRD record as your first reference check. Read The Arbor at Bridgemill's most recent HFRD surveys, then visit at a mealtime and again unannounced, and ask how staff would handle a resident whose needs change.
