Companion Care and Social Care Services

Many seniors experience loneliness as they get older and their social circles constrict. We offer companion care and social care services to help your loved one feel more connected to the outside world and prevent the ill effects of social isolation.

Our caregivers can arrange activities and brighten your loved one's day with engaging conversation. They can also assist your loved one with various apps and online tools to help them stay connected with family and friends.

Respite Care

As a family caregiver, taking time for yourself can feel selfish, if not outright impossible. However, burning out can put your own health at risk, and that of your family member. Our home care in Fort Valley includes temporary coverage for family caregivers, so you can take a break without guilt or anxiety.

Ready-Set-Go Home Program

Whether it's because of an injury, illness, or a planned operation, a hospital stay is always nerve-wracking. For seniors especially, the risk of readmission is high as well.

If your loved one has been hospitalized, we can provide the guidance and support your family needs at the hospital. Our caregivers can also help with transport and provide ongoing care at home to promote a smooth recovery.

Safe & Steady Fall Prevention Program

Did you know that falls consistently rank among the most common causes of major injury for seniors? To help your loved one retain their independence as long as possible, we can provide personalized recommendations and support based on their unique risk factors. This can include walking assistance and recommendations to help fall-proof their home.

Palliative Care

Through our palliative care program, we help clients with serious medical concerns experience greater comfort, peace, and joy amidst all the stress and discomfort of their disease and its treatment. This is a holistic home care option that includes physical, spiritual, cognitive, and social support services for our clients in the Fort Valley area.

We offer compassionate, affirming end of life care for clients in the final stages of a life-limiting illness, or with a life expectancy of six months or less.
