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 Dawsonville, 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 Dawsonville, 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 Dawsonville, 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 Dawsonville, 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.

ADAM’s integration at Ghost Kitchens marks the start of a 240-location rollout across the US.
LAS VEGAS, July 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Richtech Robotics Inc. (Nasdaq: RR) (“Richtech Robotics”), a Nevada company and a provider of AI-driven service robots, proudly announces the installation of its advanced robotic beverage system, ADAM, at Ghost Kitchens International Inc. (“Ghost Kitchens”) in Dawsonville, GA. This milestone marks the beginning of a partnership aimed at revolutionizing the food and beverage industry through robotic solutions that automate business operations and provide a unique customer experience.
Located inside a Walmart, the Dawsonville Ghost Kitchens is the first of 240 planned locations to integrate ADAM into its operations. ADAM, equipped with cutting-edge AI technology, commenced operation on June 13th, 2024, serving a variety of traditional and specialty coffee drinks to customers at the Dawsonville Ghost Kitchens, including the crowd-favorite Iced Foamy Hazelnut Latte. With this installation, Richtech Robotics hopes to demonstrate Adam’s ability to deliver consistent, high-quality beverages while enhancing operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Richtech Robotics is proud to be among the few companies pioneering the integration of AI and robotics into everyday business operations.
"ADAM's introduction to the beverage industry addresses several key challenges, including the need for consistency, efficiency, and a memorable customer experience," said Matt Casella, President of Richtech Robotics. "By automating drink preparation, ADAM is intended to allow human staff to focus on creating meaningful connections with guests, thereby elevating the overall customer experience."
The staff at the Dawsonville location has reported positive feedback on ADAM from customers, which underscores ADAM's potential to transform the service industry. As part of a broader planned rollout, Richtech Robotics and Ghost Kitchens recently signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to deploy ADAM across 240 Ghost Kitchens locations. This partnership aims to enhance behind-the-register efficiency and increase customer engagement at these highly popular retailer locations.
"The engagement with Ghost Kitchens provides important momentum as we continue to execute on our business plan and provide value for stockholders," added Mr. Casella. "We expect ADAM to significantly improve operational capabilities at Ghost Kitchens' Walmart locations."
George Kottas, CEO of Ghost Kitchens International, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "This is a momentous opportunity to work with an emerging leader in robotics. We anticipate this union will improve the customer experience, driving further awareness and success on both sides."
Under the terms of the LOI, Richtech Robotics will handle the programming, maintenance, and repair of the ADAM systems, while Ghost Kitchens will manage staff, location logistics, and leasing. ADAM will operate through a fully integrated touchscreen point-of-sale system for ordering and payments, offering customized beverages on demand and engaging customers with its intelligent conversation AI.
Richtech Robotics remains committed to its mission of transforming the service industry through collaborative robotic solutions that enhance customer experiences and empower businesses to achieve more. The installation at Ghost Kitchens in Dawsonville is a testament to this commitment and sets the stage for future advancements in the industry.

In its 26th acquisition, Viking Capital has purchased Dawson Forest, a 268-unit community in Dawsonville, Ga., near Atlanta. The value-add asset traded for $52 million, with 68 percent of the units slated for capital improvements.
Public records show Walker & Dunlop originated a $35.2 million Freddie Mac acquisition loan. The note carries a 5.65 percent fixed rate and is set to mature in 2029.
The previous owner was a joint venture of REM Finance, Archway Equities, MAC Multifamily Investments, MB Capital Assets and Silver Creek Development, according to Yardi Matrix data. The partnership had bought the asset for $30.2 million in 2015, according to the same source.

Spanning more than 23 acres, Dawson Forest encompasses 22 buildings with one- to three-bedroom floorplans ranging from 778 to 1,378 square feet. Outside of Viking’s planned enhancements, the community has already underwent improvements, such as swimming pool enhancements and exterior repairs.
Apartments feature screened-in porches and fireplaces in select units, among others. Community amenities include a swimming pool, a gym, a dog park, a car wash and detached, private garages.
Located at 100 Green Forest Drive, the 1998-built property is less than 1 mile from U.S. Route 19—which provides direct access to Atlanta, nearly 50 miles away. North Georgia Premium Outlets, a 140-store shopping center, is 1 mile away.
Viking’s previous value-add purchase was also in metro Atlanta. The firm acquired Stewart’s Mill, a 188-unit community in Douglasville, Ga., for $28.2 million in 2023. Yardi Matrix data reveals that FCP sold the asset.
Greystone originated an $18.7 million Fannie Mae acquisition loan set to mature in 2029, the same source shows. The note carries a 6.1 percent fixed rate, as well as 12 months of interest-only payments.
Metro Atlanta’s transactional scene has seen better days, according to a Yardi Matrix report. In the first quarter of this year, multifamily assets changed hands for a combined $368 million, less than half of 2023’s investments in the same period, which totaled $779.6 million. This decline landed on the heels of Atlanta’s 2023 sale figures, which clocked in at $3.4 billion, the lowest investment volume in the past decade.
The metro’s recorded price per unit slid down to $145,800 in the first three months of 2024, well below the national average of $196,096. The figure marked a 21.7 percent decrease from last year’s median price and an even steeper 28.7 percent drop from the peak experienced in 2022.

GAINESVILLE, GA. — Custom poultry processor Gold Creek Foods LLC filed a lawsuit on April 12 against the city of Dawsonville, Ga., and seven city officials over surcharges and penalties related to wastewater discharge at its local processing plant.
Gold Creek alleged that the city has classified the processor’s wastewater as “high strength” even though it had met all the effluent limits. Consequently, the city and its officials assessed surcharges and penalties against Gold Creek for purported ordinance violations as well as threatened to turn off its water and sewer service.
Gold Creek has operated in Dawsonville since 2004 and currently employs over 400 people at the facility. The further processing plant processes approximately 3.4 million lbs of poultry per week and uses around 181,000 gallons of water per week.
“In order to process poultry at the plant in Dawsonville, it is essential and necessary that Gold Creek have the continuous service and supply of water,” the company stated in the complaint, adding that termination of water and sewer services would cause irreparable harm to the business and its customers.
Gold Creek noted that its plant discharges sewage from the restrooms within the facility through a separate collection system from the industrial wastewater.
In 2018, the company invested in an upgraded pre-treatment facility at the Dawsonville plant that processes and treats industrial wastewater before it is discharged into the city’s sewerage system.
On a weekly basis, Gold Creek tests the industrial wastewater discharges and has found the samples to be in compliance with the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) Permit, which does not meet the definition of “high strength wastewater.”
The company believes that the city’s current testing station for wastewater is located where sanitary water and industrial water commingle, contrary to the testing method in the EPD Permit.
Gold Creek is the city’s only industrial customer, according to the court documents, and the city is the sole supplier of water and sewer services in Dawsonville.
Gold Creek is seeking preliminary and permanent injunction to prevent the termination of water and sewer services as well as prevent continued surcharges and penalties under “illegal and unconstitutional” ordinances, the complaint said. In addition, the company asked for compensation for costs of litigation.
