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 Roswell, 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 Roswell, 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 Roswell, 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 Roswell, 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.

For a writer like me, home is a place where I can disconnect from the minutiae of life and dream. In Roswell, I feel like a living ghost sometimes—returning again and again to haunt the familiar spots I love. Locations with history, with cracks and corners and quirks.
Fellows Cafe, a fairytale breakfast, brunch, and lunch eatery located in an 1890s home shaded by a hundred-year-old oak, is one of those places. I have history with Fellows—in the summer of 2021, hemmed in by the four walls of my house and grappling for a new direction in my career, I asked my friend Christina DeVictor if she had a job for me at her restaurant that had recently reopened after Georgia’s lockdown.
She said she could use a host, so despite having zero experience in the service industry—and being quite a bit older than your average newbie—I started working there. The whole experience was life changing. It gave me a second wind, and incidentally, I was inspired to make the main character of my latest book a restaurateur.
City Antiques & Interior Arts, the largest antique mall in town, is where I go when I want to lose myself in the world of other people’s lives. My version of heaven is winding slowly through the more than 150 booths and display cabinets, earbuds in, checking out the treasures on display: midcentury living room sets, stacks of china, vintage movie posters, brass doorknobs, and someone’s dusty, full-length mink coat. I always leave with something special and extremely low blood pressure.
The lively, bustling Roswell Area Park, with its wide paths and game fields ringing with the sounds of children’s soccer, baseball, and football games, is my go-to when I need exercise. In my twenties I ran the trail. In my thirties I watched my boys play sports there. Now I walk with my friend after she’s finished middle school drop-off, catching up and making a fuss over every passing dog. This park is the beating heart of Roswell and a living, breathing scrapbook of life here.
For date-night dinners, celebrations, and the most incredible hogs ’n quilts (a delicious play on pigs-in-a-blanket) in existence, Table & Main wins hands down. Owned by Roswell native Ryan Pernice, it’s also located in a century-old, impeccably restored farmhouse and is a 2024 Michelin Bib Gourmand winner. Table & Main is described as “simple, seasonal, Southern,” which, incidentally, also happens to be a pretty accurate description of me. But there’s more to warm a writer’s—or reader’s—heart. In addition to the delicious food, the welcoming staff delivers your check tucked into a classic Southern paperback novel.
Emily Carpenter is a bestselling author of novels of suspense. Her next book, Gothictown, about a couple and their young daughter who accept an offer to start their lives over in an idyllic Southern town, only to find that there’s something very sinister going on, will be published by Kensington in March.

ROSWELL, Ga. — An international aerospace company is coming to Roswell and bringing 100 jobs and millions of dollars in investment.
The news came Monday, with PBS Aerospace, a Czech Republic company, announcing it is putting its new North American headquarters in Roswell, at a building just off Hembree Parkway.
Channel 2′s Steve Gehlbach was in Roswell, where an expansion and new development are in the works.

PBS Aerospace has had a presence in metro Atlanta for about a decade, but will start first in this existing building while it builds a brand new state-of-the-art plant off of Mansell Road near GA-400.
Officials told Gehlbach that it would build it in a new tech village.
“Today’s announcement is proof our dedication is paying off,” Roswell Mayor Kurt Wilson said.
TRENDING STORIES:
The company makes small turbo jet engines, which are vital for high-speed drones and advanced missiles.
With the new headquarters coming to Roswell, the company is expected to bring with it 100 new high-tech jobs and a $20 million investment starting in 2025.
PBS chose the city based on its infrastructure, how close it was to transportation, the supply chain, and a large pool of highly trained workers it could draw from, the company said.
“We realized there is everything here that we need basically,” Tomas Koutsky, PBS Aerospace, said. “Our business needs experienced labor and attracts talents.”
The company is also promising hundreds more jobs will come to make the parts it needs around Georgia and the southeast United States.
“PBS Aerospace’s investment is so significant that bring approximately 100 high skilled jobs with average $150K … reinforces reputation for destination for high paying, high-tech jobs,” Wilson said.
First, the company will renovate its new office space and start by April, but it will be fully up and running, and staffed at the headquarters, including full manufacturing and research and development by September.

The facts are few, but for one of Atlanta’s toniest suburbs and most lively OTP downtowns, the possibilities seem endless.
On Monday morning, in Room 220 at Roswell City Hall, Roswell Mayor Kurt Wilson is scheduled to hold a press briefing before metro Atlanta media, alongside government and corporate officials.
The topic: news on a “major economic development initiative” and “exciting opportunity” for the growing North Fulton County city of roughly 92,000, according to City of Roswell officials.
But what could it be?
The only other clues provided in advance by city officials read as follows: The announcement involves “the establishment of a new company headquarters that will bring significant investment and job growth to the city.” (Atlanta lost out, for better or worse, on the Amazon HQ2 sweepstakes, so could it be HQ3? A new NHL team? Coca-Cola finally cashing out on its holdings near Georgia Tech and heading OTP? IKEA North?)
Alongside Wilson, several executives from the mystery company will be on hand Monday to “provide additional insights into the project” and describe how it’s expected to impact the Roswell community.

Roswell has taken lumps in years past for being overly resistant to change, but that hasn’t stopped city-altering development from moving forward.
Most notably that includes the multi-building, shopping-center remake that is the Southern Post district, along with the Chambray Hotel project and the city’s first food hall, among other projects.
Surely all that investment activity and new walkable dimensions around Canton Street’s popular food-and-beverage zone are enticing for a “major” company wanting in on the Roswell buzz. But who could it be?
UPDATE: 1:26 p.m., Feb. 3: The cat's out of the bag, and Roswell city officials send the following release:
Roswell, Ga. (Feb. 3, 2025) — The City of Roswell will soon become home to PBS Aerospace, a major manufacturer of world-class small turbojet engines based in the Czech Republic. The company will invest up to $20 million to establish its North American headquarters, manufacturing, and research and development (R & D) operations in Roswell.
“We are excited to welcome PBS Aerospace to Roswell! Not only will this support the city’s workforce and economic development goals, but it also positions Roswell as a key player in the aerospace, advanced air mobility, and AI industries,” said Mayor Kurt Wilson.
PBS Aerospace plans to move into an existing building at 1350 Northmeadow Parkway, not far from the intersection of SR-9 and Hembree Road. The company anticipates full operations, which will include the assemble of small aircraft engines, to begin in April 2025. PBS will also construct a new, permanent facility at the Tech Village North site in Roswell.
The company plans to hire approximately 150 professionals within a five-year period with an average annual salary of $150,000. The career opportunities include positions for aerospace engineers and technicians, quality assurance technicians, warehouse inventory positions, business development and operations professionals, finance and legal positions, and directors of supply chain, quality, engineering, and production.
PBS Aeorspace’s decision to locate in the City of Roswell was a direct result of a trade mission that City officials took to the Czech Republic in October 2024. While attending the MSV International Engineering Fair in Brno, City Councilmember Christine Hall, Government and Community Affairs Manager Katrina Singletary, and city consultant Peter Sorkoff met with PBS leadership and made a compelling case that Roswell would be the best location for their U.S. headquarters and assembly plant. Following the trade mission, PBS leadership visited Roswell, toured potential sites for the facility, and met with Mayor and City Council to discuss their vision.
Although PBS Aerospace was considering three locations in the United States—Texas, Florida, and Georgia—Roswell stood out as the ideal choice thanks to the City’s unique, strategic advantages. These include proximity to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, access to major highways to facilitate logistics and distribution, and close ties to leading universities, which provide a talent pipeline for the company’s long-term growth.
“We look forward to building our new Roswell factory, which will produce the world’s most advanced small turbojet engines designed to meet the needs of the U.S. Department of Defense,” said Erin Durham, CEO of PBS Aerospace. “This move aligns seamlessly with our larger growth strategy, which focuses on partnering with Georgia’s extensive manufacturing, aerospace, and defense sectors.”
To further solidify Roswell’s proposal, the City offered PBS a robust incentive package designed to complement the State of Georgia’s incentives. This package includes a dedicated project manager to ensure a seamless transition, a 10-year phase-in tax abatement designed to reduce upfront costs, and a ground lease option that offers flexibility for the permanent build site.
