“We’re honored that both Sterling Estates Communities have been recognized as ‘Best of Cobb’ for Retirement Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care again in 2023. I’m proud to say that it’s the 5th year in a row we’ve won these awards and an awesome tribute to our staff members. We’ve been serving seniors in greater Atlanta for over 25+ years now...we invite you to come and experience what sets us apart.” Marshall Gill, COO & Partner, Sterling Estates Senior Living Communities

“What I’ve learned is that all communities talk about wellness and socialization... but they don't have the wellness center, green space, day programs and staffing that Sterling Estates has. No one can match what Sterling provides for their residents. My parents are thriving at Sterling

Bet yours will too."

~ Susan S.

Make sure to congratulate the winners and let them know why their business is one of your favorites. Your support will make their day. We could all use a little encouragement and kindness each day.

As our community is finding new and creative ways to keep their businesses successful, this is the perfect time to remind Jewish Atlanta about those places and institutions that our community holds dear.

Blue Orchid’s passion is creating great video. As a teenager, Ella Szczupak watched her parents laughing and dancing in their old, grainy wedding film, and that film fueled her desire to capture and preserve the happiest moments of people’s lives. Today, she considers a well-edited video to be a work of art, whether it’s a biography, a bar mitzvah, or a photo/ video montage, because as she learned long ago, a memory is one of the nicest gifts you can give someone you love. Blue Orchid specializes in corporate and live event videography. And videos of dogs, of course.
