Life at The Joy

These are real photos from The Joy, taken on ordinary days and a few holidays. We didn't stage them, and there are no stock pictures here.

You'll see a cookout under the covered patio, with long tables and trees behind it. You'll see red, white and blue outfits in the summer and paper leaves on the table at a fall meal. There's a hug on the couch and a lot of people leaning in close for the camera.

Photos only show so much. When you tour, you'll walk through the same rooms and meet the people who spend their days here. Ask Mellissa about anything you see on this page. Call (470) 684-3569 to set up a visit.
