Our Story
DayBreak Village Assisted Living Community began as a dream about fifteen years ago. Our family was struggling to care for our 87 year old Grandmother who was experiencing early dementia, which was later diagnosed as Alzheimer's disease. No longer able to live alone, we began to search for a "family-like" community where she could make a new home. To our surprise, we found that most assisted living communities were large, run by corporations and were nothing like home at all.
Thinking of the possible development of a "more home-like" community, we began to research assisted living facilities from coast to coast. Literally from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine. It was our goal to discover the best practices and how different owners had made their communities more like home, while still meeting the physical, social and medical needs of the seniors they served. We came away with many good ideas.
But, the best idea we found was our own! It was, to have our family care for your family. Not a big corporation that really doesn't know much about you personally or your neighborhood. We thought about the things that we liked about our own homes, our own personal "comfort" zones; we also spoke with many seniors and asked about the things that were most important to them. It was then, that our plan began to develop.
From this, DayBreak Village Assisted Living Community, located at 3056 Cherokee Street in the historic district of Kennesaw, was born. Our family purchased the already on-going facility in 2005. Since then, we have totally remodeled the existing home and have turned it into a vibrant senior community! The frontline members of our family that are involved in the day to day operation of the home, include; a physician, a registered nurse, a licensed therapeutic recreation specialist, and an occupational therapist plus others that are in administration. Together, we make a powerful team! More importantly, we love what we do. We consider it an honor to care for the seniors in our community. We enjoy sharing their lives and becoming part of your family!
Since DayBreak Village has been full with a waiting list for over two years, we decided that we need a few more apartments. This week our Coming Soon Sign went up and we broke ground on 22 new apartments and suites. We are so excited and many of you are as well! We have pre-leased about 16 of the 22. We would love to have you come by and visit our home any time, even if you don't need us right away. We love meeting our neighbors and, if you visit, then you can tell your friends about us. We'd love to give you more information about our home or services; Give us a call 770-218-6166
