Home Care Services Kennesaw, GA

Poor Sleep

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.

Elderly Care Kennesaw, GA

Lack of Support

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.

Senior Assistance Kennesaw, GA

No Privacy

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.

Town Center Mall expected to reopen Tuesday

Town Center Mall, which was forced to close because of an unpaid power bill, says that it will reopen on Tuesday.

The Brief

Town Center Mall was forced to close its doors after becoming "highly delinquent" on its Georgia Power bills, according to the service provider.

Town Center Mall tenants left in the dark, they say

Town Center Mall business owners say they were left in the dark Tuesday when they found out the electricity had been cut off due to unpaid bills.

What we know:

Georgia Power says Town Center Mall hasn't paid its bills in months and hasn't taken advantage of "numerous solutions to assist them" from being disconnected from their services.

The Cobb County mall was closed Tuesday as a result.

(FOX 5)

What they're saying:

Georgia Power issued the following statement to FOX 5 Atlanta:

The other side:

"My partner came in this morning to open around 10 a.m. He found signs on the door and people standing, basically instructing people due to unforeseen circumstances, the mall is closed," said store owner Scott Z.

Town Center Mall

Scott said he was shocked to find out those "unforeseen circumstances" were unpaid bills. He said he has been a tenant at the Town Center for more than a decade and always paid his bills on time.

"We pay the property, and the property pays it to Georgia Power," he said he thought.

"As a business owner, it’s unbelievable that they just let a thousand employees who do work on this mall on a daily basis just not know what’s going on," he said. He told FOX 5 Atlanta he's tried reaching out to the mall's owners, but has not gotten a response.

FOX 5 Atlanta has not received an official comment about the closure from a Town Center Mall spokesperson.

What's next:

On Tuesday, it was not clear when the mall would reopen or how much money the group that owns it owes.

Cobb County officials say they are monitoring the situation closely, and working with the mall’s property management to come up with a longer-term plan to maintain security until the mall can reopen. They also say they are planning to have a meeting with stakeholders on Wednesday to see if there are any resources they can provide for those who have been impacted.

However, a message appeared on the mall's website overnight that says, "We will reopen at 11am, Wednesday, January 29. We appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing you soon."

Town Center at Cobb reopened Wednesday after the Kennesaw mall was forced to close briefly due to its power being shut off.

The shopping center had its electricity turned off Tuesday by Georgia Power, which said the owner was “highly delinquent” on bills despite a grace period. The power company confirmed Wednesday that power was restored after the mall’s owners “met necessary requirements.”

The mall reopened at 11 a.m. Wednesday. Shoppers milled around on what seemed to be a fairly typical slow midweek morning.

Mike Kohan, the founder of Kohan Retail Investment Group that owns the mall, said Wednesday that the power bill was now up to date and paid.

“We’re going to be talking to the tenants,” Kohan said. “We will accommodate them in any way and shape possible.”

In a Tuesday statement, Georgia Power said it had tried to work with Kohan Retail, which bought the mall two years ago, for several months and “provided numerous solutions to assist them in avoiding disconnection.”

The utility said “any customer that is highly delinquent in paying their bills ultimately has a negative impact for all of our customers.” Georgia Power said Tuesday it could “no longer continue to extend the grace period.”

It’s unclear how long the “grace period” lasted before the lights went out Tuesday morning. It’s also not clear how many employees were unable to work at the roughly 140 tenants.

Signs on the locked doors Tuesday afternoon said the mall was closed “due to unforeseen circumstances.”

ExploreGeorgia Power’s rates will go up again. Here’s how much

Kohan Retail, an investment company based in New York that owns malls across the country, purchased Town Center in 2023 after it went into foreclosure.

The mall’s anchor stores — Macy’s, JCPenney and Belk — were unaffected by the power shutoff and remained open Tuesday. Kohan Retail owns the core of the mall, but the big box stores and other segments have different owners.

A few customers arrived Tuesday, discovered the mall was closed and drove away. Just over a dozen cars were parked near each of the department stores that remained open — a bleak showing compared to the mall’s peak attendance rates.

The mall has 1.3 million square feet of retail space on its 92-acre property between I-75 and I-575. The surrounding area along Barrett Parkway, which has its own community improvement district called Town Center CID, has had a surge in new development and housing. But the mall has struggled in recent years.

Tracy Styf, the CID’s director, said in a statement that the community is “aware of the current challenges facing the mall and its tenants, businesses and employees,” and that the CID is “working closely with our economic development partners to identify resources and information to support affected businesses and employees.”

Other regional malls nationwide have shuttered in the wake of online shopping and the COVID-19 pandemic. Some Atlanta-area malls have been reimagined or redesigned into mixed-use developments, often with apartments, office space, entertainment attractions and other uses.

Town Center is not Kohan Retail’s first site to have the power shut off, according to news reports.

KAKE, an ABC affiliate television station in Kansas, reported last year that a local mall owned by the same company had its power turned off five times in seven months. The station also found that other Kohan Retail-owned malls faced similar issues.
