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 Kennesaw, 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 Kennesaw, 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 Kennesaw, 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 Kennesaw, 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.

Kennesaw, GA (June 21, 2024) — Moody’s Rating’s (Moody’s) has upgraded the City of Kennesaw’s issuer rating to Aa1 from Aa2. Concurrently, Moody’s has upgraded the rating on the City’s general obligation unlimited tax (GOULT) revenue bonds to Aa1 from Aa2. The positive outlook has been removed. The City had approximately $11 million of debt outstanding at the end of fiscal 2023.“I am proud of our city’s financial improvements and recent bond rating upgrades by Moody’s—t...
Kennesaw, GA (June 21, 2024) — Moody’s Rating’s (Moody’s) has upgraded the City of Kennesaw’s issuer rating to Aa1 from Aa2. Concurrently, Moody’s has upgraded the rating on the City’s general obligation unlimited tax (GOULT) revenue bonds to Aa1 from Aa2. The positive outlook has been removed. The City had approximately $11 million of debt outstanding at the end of fiscal 2023.
“I am proud of our city’s financial improvements and recent bond rating upgrades by Moody’s—three upgrades in three years,” says City Manager Dr. Jeff Drobney. “In 2015, we relied on a $4 million annual TAN and held an A1 bond rating from 2014 to 2022. With improved finances, economic development, increased reserves through conservative budgeting and the elimination of the annual TAN, our rating improved to Aa3 in 2022 and Aa2 last year. Recently, Moody’s upgraded us to Aa1, citing surplus operations, a healthy reserve and strong management. This achievement reflects the dedication of our staff and Council.”
The upgrade reflects the City’s trend of strong financial operations and growing tax base that has led to improved wealth levels.
RATINGS RATIONALE The Aa1 issuer rating reflects the City’s ample financial metrics, favorable location within the growing Atlanta (Aa1 stable) metropolitan area and maintenance of low long-term liabilities. We expect the City’s financial position to remain strong driven by its strong revenue performance and prudent budget management. The City benefits from robust sales tax revenues as well as multiple commercial projects in the pipeline, which will increase the City’s property tax revenues. The City’s low long-term liabilities at only 60% of revenue and fixed cost at 3.6% of revenue are among the lowest in Georgia, which support the City’s credit rating.
The Aa1 rating on the GOULT revenue bonds is placed at the same level as the issuer rating to reflect the City’s absolute and unconditional pledge, via an intergovernmental agreement with the issuing agency, to levy an unlimited ad valorem tax on all taxable property within the City limits for repayment of the bonds.
RATING OUTLOOK Moody’s does not assign outlooks to local government credits within this amount of debt outstanding.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OF THE RATINGS
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO A DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
LEGAL SECURITY The GOULT revenue bonds, issued through the Kennesaw Urban Redevelopment Agency, are special limited obligations of the agency payable solely from a pledge of payments to be made by the City of Kennesaw pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement. The City’s obligation to make payments is absolute and unconditional, and the City has agreed to levy an unlimited annual ad valorem tax on all taxable property located within the corporate limits of the City at such rates as may be necessary to cover principal and interest payments on the bonds.
PROFILE The City of Kennesaw is located in Cobb County (Aaa stable). The City provides routine municipal services that include public safety, parks and recreation, public works, solid waste, stormwater, housing and development and other general governmental functions.
METHODOLOGY The principal methodology used in these ratings was US Cities and Counties Methodology published in November 2022 and available at https://ratings.moodys.com/rmc-documents/386953. Alternatively, please see the Rating Methodologies page on https://ratings.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.
REGULATORY CLOSURES For further specification of Moody’s key rating assumptions and sensitivity analysis, see the sections Methodology Assumptions and Sensitivity to Assumptions in the disclosure form. Moody’s Rating Symbols and Definitions can be found on https://ratings.moodys.com/rating-definitions.
For ratings issued on program, series, category/class of debt or security this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to each rating of a subsequently issued bond or note of the same series, category/class of debt, security pursuant to a program for which the ratings are derived exclusively from existing ratings in accordance with Moody’s rating practices. For ratings issued on a support provider, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to the credit rating action on the support provider and in relation to each particular credit rating action for securities that derive their credit ratings from the support provider’s credit rating. For provisional ratings, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to the provisional rating assigned, and in relation to a definitive rating that may be assigned subsequent to the final assurance of the debt, in each case where the transaction structure and terms have not changed prior to the assignment of the definitive rating in a manner that would have affected the rating.

CHICAGO (May 16, 2024) – U.S. Men’s Cerebral Palsy (CP) National Team head coach Stuart Sharp has named an 18-player roster for the team’s upcoming training camp from May 22-26 on the campus of Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia. Continuing U.S. Soccer’s mission to develop winning teams and celebrate the game in all of its forms, the camp will serve as another important step as the team prepares for the 2024 IFCPF World Cup to be held this November in Salou, Spain.
“This will serve as another important touchpoint with players as we continue to build toward the World Cup at the end of the year,” U.S. CP Men’s National Team head coach Stuart Sharp said. “I am looking forward to welcoming back some experienced players who missed out when we last gathered, as well as bringing in some new faces to bolster competition for places.”
The training camp roster features nine players that helped the USA claim bronze at the 2023 Para Pan American Games last November in Santiago, Chile, including captain and 2023 U.S. Soccer CP Male Player of the Year Josh Brunais (Stafford, Va.), as well as veteran midfielders Ben Lindau (Chicago, Ill.) and John Sullivan (Tucson, Ariz.), and striker Cameron DeLillo (Brandon, Pa.).
This month’s squad also has a local flavor, with two players coming from the state of Georgia in goalkeeper Carson Lundhagen (Canton, Ga.) and forward Jacob Crumbley (Fortson, Ga). Brunais, Crumbley, and midfielder Michael Ruiz (Gilroy, Calif.) also currently train full-time in the Atlanta area as part of the CP MNT’s Centralized Training Program.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Brixton Blasi (Flower Mound, Texas), defender Lucas Nicolaou (East Meadow, N.Y.) and midfielder Tristan Torbett (Asheville, N.C.) will attend their first CP MNT camp this month. Already a member of the U.S. Men’s Deaf National Team, Torbett’s first CP MNT camp comes after recovering from a stroke which he suffered while that team was in transit to last year’s World Deaf Football Championships in Malaysia last fall.
Following this month’s camp, the CP MNT will gather twice more before Sharp names his 14-player roster for November’s World Cup, where the USA will look to improve upon its team-best fourth-place finish achieved at the 2022 edition.

Key Quotes
Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
"I challenged our team to bring the energy tonight and be locked in. Our routine was a little different today with the chance of rain here so we hit in Athens before coming over. All in all, I thought our guys played well. Zach (Harris) was real good again, that's back-to-back starts where he has thrown the ball exceptionally well. He's ready and has made that jump so a chance to see him on the weekend. The guys came in tonight and were attacking the strike zone and Zach set the tempo. It was good to get Matt Hoskins back out there too. It was nice our offense got us an early lead, and that helped."
