What Personal Care Services Include in Fulton County, GA: Costs, In-Home Options, and Family Assistance Programs

Helping You Care for Your Loved One and Yourself

Caring for an aging parent or loved one can be rewarding, but also overwhelming. You may be juggling work, family, and daily responsibilities while also trying to ensure your loved one is safe, clean, and cared for. You’re not alone in this journey. At Simplicity Healthcare Management, we offer personal care services across Fulton County, GA, designed to support your loved one and give you the breathing room you deserve.

Not Sure Where to Begin? Here’s What Happens Next

We know the hardest part is often the first step. That’s why we’ve made it simple:

  1. You can call or contact us for a free consultation
  2. We assess your loved one’s needs and create a care plan
  3. We help you apply for any Medicaid or support programs you may qualify for
  4. Services can begin within 24 to 72 hours (or sooner if needed)

Our team is here to walk you through everything from paperwork to your first caregiver visit.

What Personal Care Means for Your Family

Personal care refers to non-medical, hands-on assistance with everyday tasks. It helps seniors stay independent, reduces fall risks, and brings peace of mind to families.

Services may include:

  • Bathing and personal hygiene
  • Dressing, grooming, and toileting
  • Meal preparation and feeding
  • Light mobility assistance and fall prevention
  • Medication reminders and companionship

These services are especially valuable for loved ones with arthritis, stroke recovery, mobility issues, or early dementia.

Why In-Home Care Is Often the Better Fit

Many Fulton County families want their loved ones to stay at home, not move into a facility. Our in-home personal care helps make that possible without compromising safety or dignity.

What you get with us:

  • Matched caregivers based on personality and needs
  • Flexible schedules (from short shifts to round-the-clock care)
  • Services in familiar, comforting surroundings
  • Plans that grow with your loved one’s changing condition
  • Open communication with your family every step of the way

We’re here so you can go from being just a caregiver back to being a daughter, son, or spouse again.

What Will It Cost?

Most families ask this early, and you should.

In Fulton County, personal care costs typically range from $22 to $30/hour, depending on the level of care and time required.

Example:
If you need 20 hours per week of care at $25/hour, that’s around $2,000/month.
You may pay less if Medicaid or caregiver grants apply.

At Simplicity Healthcare Management, we provide transparent pricing upfront. You’ll never get surprise bills or upsells.

Real Story: It Changed Everything for Us

When Lisa’s mother in Sandy Springs began forgetting meals and missing medications, Lisa tried to manage everything on her own. But the stress was mounting.
She reached out to Simplicity Healthcare Management. Within 48 hours, we completed an assessment, began her mom’s Medicaid application, and assigned a caregiver for weekday visits.
Now Lisa has time to work, rest, and be present, not just exhausted.

It’s more than care, it’s relief.

Questions You May Still Have

Personal care helps with daily tasks like bathing and meals. Home health involves medical care from a nurse or therapist.

Yes. If eligible, Medicaid may cover your personal care services under programs like SOURCE or CCSP.

Can I get paid to care for my parent?
Sometimes, yes. Georgia’s caregiver support programs may allow you to be reimbursed for caring for a loved one at home.
