Residents in North Fulton who previously had to travel to Sandy Springs or downtown Atlanta now have their own board of health, vital records and support for seniors.

Among the services, there are two programs for those 55 and older, Chief Operating Officer for Fulton County Pamela Roshell said.

"One is a senior center, which will have a host of activities from arts classes, fitness classes, everything you need to remain engaged in the community and keep your body and mind and your spirit healthy," she said. 

The facility also has an adult day health program to assist seniors who are a bit more frail or who may be experiencing the early stages of dementia, Roshell said. 

"It really will help their caregiver who often needs a break," she said. "Caregiving is very hard, and so this will also allow residents experiencing these health challenges to also be engaged in the community."

A state-funded behavioral health crisis center with 24 beds is also planned to be open in about two years on the 24-acre campus at 4700 North Point Parkway in Alpharetta.
