Prosper Home Care is a licensed home care provider specializing in helping older adults and those with physical challenges remain in the residential setting where they are most comfortable. We have been providing in-home care services for 10 years and provide ongoing care management services by a licensed social worker to our clients as well. Caregivers are held to a high standard of care and families are encouraged to interview a caregiver prior to using their services to assure a comfortable "fit." We pay for (2) caregivers to be on-call every single day in the event that a regular caregiver is sick or has a life circumstance where they cannot work on a particular day. No client will be left without care when they require someone to attend to their needs. Every caregiver employed with Prosper Home Care is covered under worker's compensation, bonded, and covered by our professional liability insurance and company liability insurance. We want families to have peace of mind and focus entirely on the care needed to support Aging in Place. We provide care in a minimum of 4 hour increments of time. We can offer care 4 hours a day to 24 hours a day. Care is customized based on your need and a care plan is uniquely created just for your needs. Prosper Home Care works with many Long Term Care Insurance Companies to help clients/families with care services being provided. We also serve many Veterans and can help Veterans and spouses of Veterans (alive or deceased) explore how they may receive in-home services when care with activities of daily living are necessary. The leadership team with Prosper Home Care actively supports and advocates for older adults in Georgia. We are engaged regularly with legislative action to help increase home and community based funding for older Georgians. In addition, in 2016, we were instrumental in helping to expand the elder abuse registry in Georgia of caregivers who have committed an act of abuse, neglect, or exploitation towards an elder. Older adults and their families need a care provider who is genuinely looking out for their best interest and well-being. This is what we feel we do best. We can't wait to partner with you!

While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
