Caring for someone in Decatur
Decatur has one of the highest over-65 shares in the metro and a civic culture that treats ageing in place as the default rather than the exception. Families here tend to arrive well informed and ask good, specific questions.
Walkability is a real factor in the care plan. People here still walk to the square and to the farmers market, and keeping that going with company is usually worth more than an extra hour indoors.

Getting to you
Our office is at 3020 Roswell Road, Suite 200, Marietta, about 40 minutes from Decatur. People here are usually discharged from Emory Decatur Hospital on North Decatur Road, and cover for the first weeks home is one of the most common things we are asked for.
Minimum four hours per visit, with no minimum number of days a week, and care usually starts within 24 hours. If there is military service in the family, ask about VA benefits: this office is credentialed through VA Community Care and the VA can pay for approved hours directly.
If you are still working out whether care at home is the right answer at all, the four kinds of senior care compared sets out the options, including when home care is the wrong one. Before choosing any agency in Decatur, it is worth reading the fourteen questions worth asking.

Home care in Decatur: common questions
Do you cover both Decatur and North Decatur?
Both, 30030 and 30033. It is the furthest east we schedule regularly, so give us a little more notice than you would for Marietta.
My mother wants to keep walking into town. Can a caregiver do that?
Yes, and we will write it into the plan. Walking with company is the kind of thing that quietly disappears from a schedule unless it is explicitly in it.
Other areas we work in
At home, as it should be.
What help is needed, what it costs, and whether the VA covers part of it. Free, with nothing to sign.
