For Georgia Discharge Planners & Case Managers
Same-day referral support, four care options, and statewide transportation to the community for new residents.
When you're arranging a safe discharge or a new placement, you need a community that answers the phone, assesses quickly, and keeps you in the loop. The Orchard at Stone Creek works with discharge planners, case managers, and social workers across Georgia. Our residential assisted living, memory care, personal care, and respite community has six small homes of just 16 residents each on a 72-acre pecan orchard in Hahira, minutes north of Valdosta. For new residents, transportation to the community is available from anywhere in Georgia.

Levels of care
Match your patient to the right level of care.
Residents keep their own physicians; our physician directs the quality of the care around them.
Assisted living
Ongoing support for older adults who want their independence with a hand during the day.
Personal care
More hands-on daily help with bathing, dressing, mobility, and medication management.
Respite care
A short stay, from a few days to a couple of weeks — a practical step-down after a hospital stay, or coverage while a family caregiver is away.
How a referral works
Four steps, one phone call to start.
Call us
Reach the community directly at (229) 251-2201 during office hours, 9 AM–5 PM. Please share patient details by phone rather than the web form.
We confirm fit & availability
Availability varies by home, so the earlier you reach out, the more options your patient has. We'll talk through the level of care that fits.
Tour & move-in
Families are welcome to tour. We coordinate timing around the discharge date and can arrange statewide transportation to the community for the new resident.
Ongoing updates
24/7 on-site nursing, physician-directed daily quality rounds, and same-day communication when anything changes.
What a placement includes
One all-inclusive monthly rate.
So families know the number up front — every placement includes:
Questions from referring partners
What discharge planners ask us
Do you accept referrals from hospitals, case managers, and social workers?
Yes. We work directly with discharge planners, hospital case managers, and social workers. Call the community at (229) 251-2201, 9 AM–5 PM daily, and you'll typically hear back within 30 minutes during business hours.
How quickly can you accept a new placement?
Availability varies by home, so the earlier you reach out the more options your patient has. Call us and we'll confirm the right level of care and current availability, and coordinate the move-in timing around the discharge date.
Do you provide statewide transportation to assisted living?
Yes. Transportation to The Orchard is available for new residents moving in from anywhere in Georgia. Call admissions at (229) 251-2201 to confirm availability and coordinate transportation around the discharge or move-in date.
What levels of care do you provide?
Assisted living supports independence with help during the day. Memory care adds cognitive support, familiar routines, and safety-focused care. Personal care provides more hands-on help with daily activities. Respite care is a short stay for caregiver relief, recovery, or a transition.
How do I confirm payment options and service area?
Call the admissions team at (229) 251-2201 to confirm current payment options, availability, transportation needs, and whether the community can safely support the prospective resident.
What does physician-directed quality oversight mean for my patient?
Nursing staff are on site 24/7. Our Director of Resident Care Quality is a licensed physician who is on call around the clock and on site most weekdays. He directs safety monitoring, staff training, and daily quality rounds across all six homes. Residents continue to use their own personal physicians for medical care.
How do you keep referring partners informed?
We provide same-day communication when anything changes. With the resident's consent, referring partners are kept in the loop alongside the family.
Can I share patient health information through the website?
Please don't send protected health information (PHI) through the web form or by email. Share your patient's clinical details with us by phone at (229) 251-2201 — the form is only so we can reach you.
Make a referral
Start a referral or ask about availability.
The fastest path is a phone call — we can confirm availability and the right level of care in one conversation. Prefer we reach out? Leave your details and we'll call you back, typically within 30 minutes during business hours.
