May 13, 2025: Team members and community partners celebrate The Waterford at Decatur's grand opening with an official ribbon cutting in Decatur, GA.
Sonida initially expanded its senior housing presence to Georgia with The Waterford at Decatur in June 2024, followed by The Addison of Sandy Springs and The Addison of Gwinnett Park in November 2024, and most recently, with The Addison of Alpharetta in June 2025, reinforcing Sonida's commitment to senior care in the Atlanta market.
The Waterford at Decatur is a dedicated Memory Care community and the three Addison communities offer a mix of Assisted Living and Memory Care apartments and services.
Sonida's rebranding includes renewed investment in common areas, programming, personnel, and IT infrastructure to ensure residents receive high-quality care, residences, and services, ultimately establishing thoughtful, well-supported environments for older adults to find joy and connection.
"We are proud of our thoughtful and deliberate growth in the Atlanta region," said Brandon Ribar, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sonida Senior Living. "These communities represent more than new locations. They reflect our commitment to bringing innovation and a high standard of care to markets where older adults and their families are actively seeking the best in residences and services."
Local Celebrations That Strengthen Connection
To honor these transitions and formally reintroduce each community to its surrounding neighborhood, Sonida hosted grand opening celebrations throughout the month of May. The events brought together local partners, care teams, residents, and neighbors to mark a new era of community and care. Attendees enjoyed live music, chef-prepared cuisine, local vendors, and warm celebrations tailored to each location's personality.
"This wasn't just a ribbon cutting. It was a celebration of our team, our families, and the incredible community we've built together," said Nicholas Bridges, Executive Director of The Addison of Gwinnett Park. "After years of compassionate care, it meant the world to pause and recognize how far we've come, and how committed we are to what lies ahead."
Investing in People, Places, and Peace of Mind
Following the acquisitions, Sonida invested in targeted upgrades at each community, including:
- Refreshed common areas and furnishings to create more welcoming, supportive spaces
- Enhanced technology infrastructure such as Sage and smart safety platforms such as SafelyYou's AI Care Platform, designed to help care teams respond faster and more effectively, keeping residents safer, longer.
- Dedicated Magnolia Trails™ memory care neighborhoods, built to support residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia through purposeful design, routine, and connection
These changes reflect Sonida's broader "Find Your Joy Here" philosophy, which empowers older adults to lead purposeful, engaged lives while receiving the individualized care they need.
