Encompassing Family Values
Enjoy a retirement that also includes your family. Sterling Estates of West Cobb and East Cobb in Marietta, GA, are communities your adult children and grandkids will feel right at home in, too.
When we build a Sterling community, our first thought is always of our family. Is this a place that they would enjoy, a place that they would find special and want to visit? Is this a home for their parents or grandparents that they will take pride in knowing we are living
That’s because we believe that family and hope are what make a life Sterling. A Sterling Life is also one where interacting with friends, service, helping others, faith, and dependability are appreciated. These are the kinds of communities that we create.
A Sterling community is one where everyone in the family loves to visit. It’s where grandchildren want to swim in the pool, play bocce ball or shuffleboard with their grandparents and adult children enjoy walking the lovely paths, visiting the large residents garden or sitting on the comfortable patios with their parents, and where everyone enjoys breaking bread together in the wonderful dining venues.
If you visit a Sterling community when grandchildren are on summer vacation, you’ll see them playing lacrosse, baseball, or football out front or in the back on the spacious manicured lawns. There’s always something intergenerational going on here because that’s what a Sterling Life is all about.
Refundable Contract
Unlike many active adult retirement community choices in Marietta, a Sterling Life comes with a refundable contract.
Independent Living at Sterling Estates of West Cobb only requires a one-year rental contract with a membership fee. We do require 120 days’ notice should you decide to leave, but only 30 days if it’s a medical emergency.
If you choose a Cottage, at the end of your contract period, at the present time 65% of your entrance fee is refunded when the unit is re-rented. This makes living at Sterling West Cobb a way to preserve assets for yourself and your estate.

Creating Your Personal Sterling Way Wellness Plan
When a resident moves into our community, he or she is given a wellness evaluation by our in-house Wellness Director. The evaluation includes, but is not limited to: a Balance Assessment, Flexibility Tests, Gait Analysis, overall Health Review, and overall summarization of lifestyle goals.
After the initial assessment is complete, a personal wellness plan is created for and with the resident, whether it is starting with the basic activity classes above or one-on-one training to work toward a more specific goal, including:
- Walking
- Reduction of Parkinsonian syndrome symptoms
- Stroke recovery
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Strength
- Balance
The resident’s Wellness Plan is communicated to and reviewed by the resident’s physician if appropriate. If home health is the initial recommendation, our wellness director is in communication with the Physical/Occupational/Speech Therapist. When the insurance coverage lapses, there is a smooth transition from the home health therapy to our wellness program.
If overall strength and balance is the goal, our residents will start with the one-on-one sessions with the wellness director. After short-term goals are reached through the one-on-one sessions, integration into our group health and fitness classes and water aerobics program is recommended.
Residents who need general maintenance of strength and balance are recommended to start with our chair classes (Sittersize, Chair Yoga, Chair Tai Chi) as well as our Water Aerobics Class. Residents are frequently reassessed for short-term goals.

Creating Your Personal Sterling Way Wellness Plan
When a resident moves into our community, he or she is given a wellness evaluation by our in-house Wellness Director. The evaluation includes, but is not limited to: a Balance Assessment, Flexibility Tests, Gait Analysis, overall Health Review, and overall summarization of lifestyle goals.
After the initial assessment is complete, a personal wellness plan is created for and with the resident, whether it is starting with the basic activity classes above or one-on-one training to work toward a more specific goal, including:
- Walking
- Reduction of Parkinsonian syndrome symptoms
- Stroke recovery
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Strength
- Balance
The resident’s Wellness Plan is communicated to and reviewed by the resident’s physician if appropriate. If home health is the initial recommendation, our wellness director is in communication with the Physical/Occupational/Speech Therapist. When the insurance coverage lapses, there is a smooth transition from the home health therapy to our wellness program.
If overall strength and balance is the goal, our residents will start with the one-on-one sessions with the wellness director. After short-term goals are reached through the one-on-one sessions, integration into our group health and fitness classes and water aerobics program is recommended.
Residents who need general maintenance of strength and balance are recommended to start with our chair classes (Sittersize, Chair Yoga, Chair Tai Chi) as well as our Water Aerobics Class. Residents are frequently reassessed for short-term goals.
Sittersize: Seated Chair Aerobics
Seated chair exercises are designed to benefit someone who can’t withstand body weight on their joints. By sitting in a chair we eliminate any pounding on the joints. A light aerobic exercise is needed daily to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Chair aerobics helps to increase strength through light resistance exercises, increase mobility, and increase heart rate. Coupled with fun energetic music, Sittersize is great for anyone!
