Cobb County, Georgia
In-home care in Cobb County
From Marietta Square out to Acworth, Kennesaw and Powder Springs, and down through Smyrna, Austell and Mableton, we care for families who want a parent to keep living at home in Cobb County.
Often the person arranging care lives a few exits up I-75 or across the county, and is fitting it around work. Home care is as much about giving that son or daughter back a few evenings a week as it is about the parent.

Out in the community
Where you have seen us in Cobb County
We built a Deal or No Deal game board by hand — prize cards and all — and brought it to the residents of Ridenour, the 55+ community in Kennesaw, as an afternoon activity. It is the part of the work that does not show up on a care plan and matters anyway.
