When an older loved one in your life can't take care of themselves like they could in the past, you begin to worry. You worry about their safety and their health. You stay up at night thinking about their quality of life and how it can be improved. You may wonder whether you'll have enough time, energy, and patience to care for them while you balance your own family and work obligations. You've heard that most seniors - 94% according to Forbes - prefer to stay in their own homes as they age. But if the senior in your life can stay at home, what then?
For many families, home care in Atlanta, GA, presents an affordable, compassionate answer to that question. Home care is quickly becoming the first choice for older seniors because it supports the family while allowing your loved one to age gracefully in the familiar, safe surroundings of their own home and community.
If you're trying to keep your mom, dad, or senior relative safe and happy in the home they love, it's time to connect with Opa Home Care for a consultation.
At Opa Home Care, our goal is to serve your senior loved one throughout their aging journey. We do so by prioritizing a continuing care model customized to your senior loved one's needs. We often begin this relationship by providing compassionate in-home care services for seniors who only need a little help around the house. When a senior is discharged from a hospital or facility after a fall or illness, we offer short-term care in the weeks that follow their return home. And when a senior receives hospice and palliative care, we supplement that care by staying with them around the clock.
Opa's continuum of care involves a comprehensive approach to delivering healthcare services that are tailored to an individual's evolving needs over time. This integrated system covers preventive care, primary care, acute treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term support, with a focus on ensuring smooth transitions between different levels and settings of care.
By promoting coordination and continuity among healthcare providers and settings, the continuum of care aims to improve health outcomes, enhance the patient experience, and make more efficient use of resources, ultimately raising the overall quality of care provided to individuals and communities.
Simply put, families choose Opa because our caregivers and staff members truly care about the senior loved one in your life. Some highlights of our senior care program include:
We're proud to have a team of over 14,000 credentialed caregivers, CNAs, and nurses who work with our experienced leadership team to provide a tailored, efficient experience for clients.
When you trust Opa as your home care provider, you won't ever have to worry about your senior going without care. In the unlikely event that your scheduled caregiver must miss a shift, we'll have another caregiver lined up and sent to your home ASAP.
As in-home care experts, we understand that the need for compassionate care doesn't follow a 9-5 schedule. When you reach out with questions or concerns, you'll always find a person on the other end of the line. We'll take as much time as needed to understand your situation and work hard to set up intake in a quick, efficient manner.
At Opa Home Care, we know that no two seniors have the same needs and budget requirements. As such, we customize every one of our care plans to cater to your desires, needs, and budget.
In-home care is a valuable option for seniors who want to age comfortably in their own homes. Cost is a major concern for many families, but in-home care is often more affordable than people expect. Hiring an in-home caregiver for a few hours a week can be cheaper than other long-term care options, even for seniors with more complex needs. At Opa Home Care, we'll work with you to create a Care Plan that meets your needs and fits your budget. After assessing your or your loved one's care requirements, we'll design an in-home care plan that's both suitable and affordable for you.
Other potential resources to help offset potential home care costs can include:
Our team understands the challenges that come with aging. That's why Opa is dedicated to providing personalized care that's easily accessible. You can get started by calling one of our locations in Georgia, where a team member will listen to you and explain our in-home care options. We make scheduling calls and meetings simple, bringing dignity to you and your loved ones by offering a flexible, straightforward care process from beginning to end.
"Home is where the heart is." This saying may sound a bit cliche, but it holds true for many seniors in America. When given the choice, most older adults prefer to age in their own homes. According to an AARP study, three out of four adults over 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they grow older.
When you consider why, it makes sense. A person's home represents a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity. Keeping seniors comfortable and healthy in their own homes as they receive care is the essence of aging in place. This approach ensures that, after spending time in a hospital or nursing facility, seniors can return home with the assistance of caregivers from home care agencies like Opa.
That's especially important because as we age, we often rely on others for assistance. When family members are too busy or live far away, in-home senior care becomes a practical solution. Home care services allow seniors to maintain personal independence while receiving reliable support from trained caregivers.
At Opa Home Care, we provide a comprehensive range of non-medical home care services to help seniors stay healthy while preserving their independence. As your senior loved one ages, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to express your love, especially if you live far away.
Some of the most common aging-in-place services we provide include:
If someone you care about is unable or unwilling to stay alone either during the day or overnight, our in-home caregiver services can provide the assistance they need. We understand that loneliness can have a significant impact on an individual's mental and physical health, and we are here to offer the necessary support to ensure their well-being.
Opa caregivers provide much-needed help with maintaining personal hygiene, dressing and eating, and aiding with mobility. We also provide transportation assistance, help facilitate communication, assist with medication management, offer support with home maintenance, and provide assistance with shopping and meal preparation.
Long-term spouses and partners rely on one another for companionship and love. That's why, at Opa, we can develop specialized care plans for aging couples who need home care in Atlanta, GA.
Opa caregivers are here to help you or your elderly family member with running errands like getting to and from medical appointments, picking up prescriptions or groceries, and attending community activities to stay engaged and active.
Sometimes, seniors need around-the-clock in-home care. Our experienced caregivers are available to stay with your loved ones for an extended period to ensure they stay happy and healthy at home.
Short-term care, also known as post-acute care, typically takes place following a hospital or skilled nursing facility discharge, which often occurs after a surgical procedure or illness necessitating assistance during the recovery period. Short-term care for surgery or illness recovery typically lasts several weeks. Our experienced short-term caregivers will follow your hospital's guidelines and your personalized support plan to ensure your senior's recovery and healing stay on track.
Some of the most common short-term home care services we provide at Opa include:
Loneliness can greatly affect someone's mental and physical well-being. That's especially true after having a major surgery or illness. If your loved one cannot or does not want to be left alone after being discharged from a hospital or care facility, our short-term caregivers are ready to help.
Short-term caregivers from Opa can provide essential support with daily personal care, including grooming, getting dressed, eating, and getting around. Our services also include transportation, communication assistance, medication management, household upkeep, and help with shopping and meal preparation.
We offer stand-by assistance while your senior loved one takes a shower, goes to the bathroom, moves from room to room, and walks outdoors. We can also provide stand-by assistance while your senior completes exercises and activities prescribed by Physical and Occupational Therapists.
Hospice care is not tied to a specific location; it's more about the approach to care itself. Most people who are nearing the end of their lives express a strong wish to spend their final months at home. This type of care involves a comprehensive team that considers the physical, spiritual, emotional, and social needs of the individual. Hospice focuses on providing comfort rather than pursuing curative treatments, without hastening the dying process.
While the hospice and palliative care team for your senior will provide medication and some additional support, they aren't able to be with your loved one all the time. Our caregivers are there to complement your hospice and palliative care team by offering round-the-clock assistance to the senior in your life. Opa caregivers can also ensure that the needs of a spouse are met during this challenging period. Our goal is to give your family the chance to cherish your loved one while our team takes care of their personal needs.
Homemaking services encompass a range of tasks, including cleaning, cooking, laundry, grocery shopping, home upkeep, and organization.
When a senior is going through hospice, personal care often suffers. We provide much-needed assistance with tasks such as eating, dressing, bathing, grooming, medication reminders, and more. That way, you can focus on spending time with your elderly parent or relative.
In challenging and emotional times, they say that it takes a village to stay healthy and focused. That's true in many aspects of life, but especially during hospice and palliative care. Our caregivers can help cook meals, provide transportation, and complete errands, so all you have to focus on is being present and positive.
At Opa Home Care in Atlanta, GA, a large percentage of our clients consist of selfless and concerned adult children who know their parents need extra help at home. Caring for your aging parents can be an incredibly rewarding act of love. As you reflect on the care they provided you while you were growing up, you now have the chance to reciprocate. However, caregiving comes with its own set of challenges. It's crucial to anticipate these challenges and learn how to effectively manage them in order to safeguard your own health and well-being.
Here are three of the most difficult challenges that family caregivers may encounter when looking after their elderly parents or loved ones.
As people age, their sleep patterns can be disrupted, causing them to wake up multiple times during the night. This can be due to a shift in their internal body clock, stress, or worry. If dementia is a factor, you may need to be vigilant, as sundowning and wandering could occur. Caring for your parents or a loved one requires a clear and rested mind, which is why getting enough sleep is essential for both your well-being and your ability to provide the best care. After all, you don't want to get so burnt out and tired that you take a trip to the hospital. Avoid getting burnt out and exhausted, as it could lead to a trip to the hospital.
Taking care of aging parents can feel overwhelming and like you're shouldering the entire brunt of responsibility. Moreover, thinking that you're the sole caregiver can be stressful and put unneeded strain on other relationships in your life. It's crucial to understand that caregiving is not a one-person task. Trying to handle it alone can lead to burnout, depression, and other serious health issues. It can also negatively impact the quality of care your parents receive.
Living with your parents can affect both your physical and emotional privacy, especially if one or both need significant amounts of attention. This can lead to feelings of fear and disorientation when you're not around. Similarly, it can be challenging for your parents to maintain their own privacy while you're taking care of them.
It's crucial to have a break from caregiving to maintain a healthy life balance. Opa's in-home caregivers can give you that essential time off while ensuring top-notch care for your parents. Our aging-in-place services provide opportunities for your parents or older relatives to socialize and enjoy engaging activities, all while giving you the chance to focus on self-care. Rest assured that your parents are in good hands while you take a well-deserved break.
One of the biggest reasons why clients choose Opa Home Care is because we believe working with seniors is a privilege. Our caregivers love what they do and find joy in keeping older adults healthy, happy, and safe at home. When we work with your loved one, we want to get to know them. We want to know the foods they like, the music they listen to, and what makes them feel comfortable. We want to know if they would rather watch a movie or go for a walk. They may forget to take their meds, but we'll be there night and day to remind them. Our goal is to provide the maximum amount of comfort, independence, and compassionate care to every client we serve.
The first step in getting quality home care in Atlanta, GA, starts with a one-on-one consultation with an experienced Opa care coordinator. This initial meeting is needed so our team can learn more about your needs and the level of care you require. If you're ready to help the senior in your life age in the solitude of their home, we're ready to help.

ATLANTA — An African American Studies course for Advanced Placement credit designed by the College Board was rejected for statewide use by Dr. Richard Woods, Georgia’s State School Superintendent on Tuesday.
State Sen. Nikki Merritt, who represents parts of Gwinnett County in the Georgia General Assembly, announced plans to discuss the end of the AP AA Studies program at the steps of the Georgia Capitol Wednesday at noon, alongside other state lawmakers.
According to Georgia DOE, the superintendent chose not to recommend the course for approval at this time, following the conclusion of a College Board pilot program.
[DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks]
Georgia DOE officials said the course had been offered in some state schools through the pilot program, but said the pilot program does not require an approval process at the state level.
“With the pilot concluded, there are two ways for a course to be formally approved to receive state funding in Georgia: the State School Superintendent can make a recommendation for approval, or the State Board of Education can initiate an approval directly.”
Still, while the state did not adopt the course for all schools, districts have multiple options to offer courses on African American Studies as a topic, including the option to use the AP course with local funding, rather than state funding.
“Superintendent Woods’ administration added a course code for a state-funded African American Studies course in 2020,” Georgia DOE said in a statement.
TRENDING STORIES:
Atlanta Public Schools tested the program during the pilot. The district plans to still provide the course, using its own funds rather than state funding.
“Atlanta Public Schools’ charter system status gives us the flexibility to continue offering Advanced Placement (AP) African American Studies, even though it will not be supported with state funding. APS will provide the course to students with local funds. AP African-American Studies will continue to count for credit toward graduation. This district is committed to providing rigorous instruction that helps our students become globally-minded citizens,” according to a district spokesman.
The Gwinnett County School District said they had test-piloted the program too, and with the state rejecting it, they were meeting with stakeholders to determine next steps.
“In GCPS, we are committed to offering a comprehensive and inclusive education for each and every student,” Dr. Calvin J. Watts, GCPS Superintendent said in a statement. “The 2023-24 AP African American Studies pilot was successful, and we are disappointed that students will neither have the opportunity to take, nor to receive credit for this innovative college-level course.”
The Georgia Association of Educators said the choice not to adopt the course for Georgia’s students was disappointing, especially when measured “against the backdrop of the approval of the AP European History class.”
The GAE said their organization was “utterly dismayed at the decision by Superintendent Richard Woods to eliminate funding and course credit for AP African American studies” and called it an “ill-considered decision” directly opposing the “integrity and professional duties as educators,” the teacher’s union’s members hold.

ATLANTA — Since Friday, Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines has canceled more than 6,200 flights.
Over 400 of them are from today alone.
Delta says it is cooperating with a Department of Transportation investigation into why it’s taking longer than other airlines to recover from the IT outage.
[DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks]
Channel 2′s Richard Elliot bought a ticket, went through security into Hartsfield-Jackson’s Terminal A, and spotted hundreds of Delta passengers experiencing delay after delay as the global IT outage continues to plague the airline.
Some of the passengers were fast asleep while waiting for their flights.
Nadia Ibrahim and her brother Moustafa said their trip from Wichita to the Raleigh-Durham airport became an adventure.
“It was hard. The original flight was canceled three times and the one we just got on was delayed by an hour and this one just got delayed by another hour too. So it’s been hard,” Nadia Ibrahim said.
Through social media, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg confirmed he’s opened an investigation into what went wrong with Delta’s delayed recovery from the outage.
He posted on X that the DOT “has opened an investigation into Delta Air Lines to ensure the airline is following the law and taking care of its passengers during continued widespread disruptions.”
All airline passengers have the right to be treated fairly, and I will make sure that right is upheld.”
Channel 2 Action News tried to talk with Delta’s CEO Ed Bastian or other senior Delta officials multiple times.
Instead, we received the following statement:
“Delta teams are working tirelessly to care for and make it right for our customers impacted by delays and cancellations as we work to restore the reliable, on-time service they have come to expect from Delta.”
Nicole Sims was so late returning to Atlanta Tuesday that she missed work.
“We were supposed to fly out yesterday at 7:30. We were delayed like three times and rebooked and now we’re here today, a day late,” she said.
Georgia Congresswoman Nikema Williams sent letters to the FAA and the CEO of CrowdStrike demanding answers for the disruptions at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, saying, “We must hold airlines accountable for upholding their commitments to the agency and to provide the best possible customer service.”
One of those caught up in the delay is Gwinnett County State Senator Sheikh Rahman.
TRENDING STORIES:
Sen. Rahman is heading to Colorado Springs for a clean energy conference but his flight got delayed nearly three hours.
“It’s not too bad. I wish I’d known earlier when I left home,” he said. “I’m okay because a couple of hours, I can handle. But if it changes again, then I might not be happy.”
Dr. Sharon Rohowsky can’t seem to get back home to Florida and while she’s not happy about it, she refuses to blame the rank-and-file Delta employees.
“I’ve been stranded for five days and let me tell you, the Delta employees have been outstanding and I want to thank them,” she said.

ATLANTA, Ga. (Score Atlanta) - The second-annual Georgia High School Football Media Day returns July 24-25 with two new locations and two full days of unprecedented access to the state’s top talent and programs.
Kickoff to the 2024 season is right around the corner and after a successful inaugural event in 2023 that saw 85 teams participate, this year’s lineup includes a second day and flag football teams from across the state.
Both days will run from 10 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, July 24 will take place in Atlanta at the Mechanical Trades Institute building, a state-of-the-art facility where players will be highlighted, promoted, and celebrated. In addition, there will be multiple trade unions in attendance with displays focused on welding, plumbing, and heating and air for players to learn through a hands-on experience about several career opportunities after they graduate high school.
On Thursday, Westside High School in Macon, Ga. will host the event and focus on prestigious programs in middle and south Georgia, and will include two state champions from 2023, Coffee and Pierce County.
The proliferation of flag football in Georgia and nationwide presents a great opportunity for this year’s teams to be highlighted before their season kicks off and the sport’s rapid rise is set to reflect the increased spotlight the sport will have on it this season with events like the first-ever Corky Kell + Dave Hunter Flag Football Kickoff Classic in October.
Georgia High School Football Media Day will air exclusively on the Atlanta News First app. The live programming will feature On3′s Rusty Mansell, Drive for the GHSA State Title gameday host Kaylee Mansell, and Score Atlanta’s Craig Sager II and Najeh Wilkins. You can download the Atlanta News First app in the app store, or watch ANF+ anywhere you stream. Just search “Atlanta News First” on FireTV, AppleTV, RokuTV, Android TV and YouTube TV.
The event will feature outlets like 92.9 The Game, 247Sports, On3, and local media including newspapers and radio stations onsite interviewing players and coaches throughout the day. Additionally, Georgia High School Football Media Day is taking place during the GHSA’s acclimation week that limits teams to just two hours of practice per day.
Georgia continues to be the hotbed for the top high school football in the country and this event provides another component that sets the state apart from the rest of the country. Nationally-ranked programs and state title contenders stack the lineup, including two-time defending state champion Prince Avenue Christian and Class 6A’s Douglas County, North Gwinnett, Norcross, Collins Hill, Walton and McEachern.
This year’s lineup will also offer an opportunity to catch up with many of the new coaching hires in the state—including Cedar Grove’s Roderick Moore and Cambridge’s Tyler Jones.

Patch Staff
GEORGIA — The Peach State may want to prepare for daily downpours as the southern state could get soaked this week.
While initial rains could produce wind gusts up to 40 mph, later storms could generate isolated flooding in some parts of Georgia, the National Weather Service said in its hazardous weather outlook.
Likely storms could roll through counties from central Georgia, including metro Atlanta, all the way to Savannah and the coast each day through Sunday.
Frequent lightning could come with Monday's potential storms; and although flooding could occur in some parts, weather officials said no severe storms were anticipated this week as of Monday.
Bryan, Chatham, Liberty and McIntosh counties in Georgia, along with Beaufort and Jasper counties in South Carolina, remain at a moderate risk for rip currents through Monday evening.
But while Georgians may keep an eye out for storms, no heat advisories had been issued for metro Atlanta, Columbus or Savannah as of early Monday afternoon.
Temperatures are expected to sit in the 80s to low 90s throughout most of the state.
Georgia may not be solo in potentially being consumed with heavy rainfall this week. AccuWeather forecasted daily rain for the entire Southeast.
The downpours could delay travel, offer drought relief and produce flash flooding, AccuWeather said.
Some severe thunderstorms were expected Monday along and near the coast from areas north of Baltimore, Maryland to Jacksonville.
"An area of high pressure has set up shop off the Southeast coast," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Pydynowski said in a weather report. "This will help direct a flow of moisture around it through the Southeast, with its origins in the Caribbean, Central America and Gulf of Mexico."
He noted outdoor activities, such as beach trips and sports games, could be affected by the forthcoming rainfall.
The Florida Peninsula could largely be free of the heaviest rain this week; however, the area could receive a visit from showers and storms Tuesday due to a traveling tropical wave, AccuWeather said.
"This 'wave' is not expected to develop tropically, largely thanks to dust and drier air in the upper atmosphere that will put a lid on strengthening of this wave and others elsewhere in the tropical Atlantic this week," forecasters said.
But while Georgians could be prepping for these daily storms, they may also want to consider the heat.
Northeast and north Florida was under a heat advisory from noon until 6 p.m. Monday due to expected heat index values of 108-110.
As of around 2 p.m. Monday, the National Weather Service predicted the following detailed forecast for metro Atlanta:
This Afternoon: A slight chance of showers, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m. Partly sunny, with a high near 85. Southwest wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50 percent.
Tonight: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 71. Southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 40 percent.
Tuesday: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly after 4 p.m. Partly sunny, with a high near 86. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 60 percent.
Tuesday Night: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 7 p.m. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 71. Southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 60 percent.
Wednesday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 2 p.m. High near 88. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90 percent.
Wednesday Night: Showers and thunderstorms before 11 p.m., then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 a.m. Low around 70. Chance of precipitation is 80 percent.
Thursday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 8 a.m. High near 82. Chance of precipitation is 90 percent.
Thursday Night: Showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 8 p.m., then showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. Low around 70. Chance of precipitation is 80 percent.
Friday: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly after 2 p.m. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 83. Chance of precipitation is 70 percent.
Friday Night: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 8 p.m. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 69. Chance of precipitation is 60 percent.
Saturday: Showers and thunderstorms likely. Partly sunny, with a high near 86. Chance of precipitation is 60 percent.
Saturday Night: Showers and thunderstorms likely. Partly cloudy, with a low around 70. Chance of precipitation is 60 percent.
Sunday: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high near 87.
