In-Home Care for
Decatur Families.
Decatur is a city unto itself, walkable, progressive, deeply community-minded, and home to Agnes Scott College, the beloved Decatur Square, and families who choose to put down roots rather than move on. We provide in-home care that honors that commitment.

Care as community-rooted as Decatur itself.
Decatur residents aren't just Atlanta's neighbors, they're citizens of their own city, with their own identity, institutions, and rhythms. Seniors here often have decades of relationships with their neighbors, their churches, and their local businesses.
HomeWell Care Services serves Decatur with the same thoughtfulness we bring to every neighborhood, caregivers who understand the community, Care Managers who know the local medical providers, and care plans that support independence rather than diminishing it.
Whether it's Saturday morning at the Decatur Farmers Market or a visit to the DeKalb Medical campus, our caregivers are here to make those things possible, not just to manage the clinical necessities.

Returning home after surgery or a hospital stay in Decatur.
Decatur's strong sense of community and walkable downtown make it a place where seniors are deeply rooted — and where staying at home, surrounded by familiar streets and neighbors, is often the most meaningful option during recovery or as care needs grow. The transition home after a hospital stay is one of the highest-risk periods for older adults — falls, missed medications, and lack of supervision are the leading causes of readmission. In-home care bridges that gap so recovery happens safely.
Coordinating with local hospitals
Decatur families discharged from Emory Decatur Hospital or DeKalb Medical can typically have a caregiver in place within 24 to 48 hours of their call.
Care starts in 24–48 hours
Discharge timelines don't wait. In most cases we can have a caregiver in place within 24 to 48 hours, fully briefed on your loved one's needs before the first visit.
GoHomeWell transition program
Our GoHomeWell program is specifically designed for the first 30 days post-discharge — the window when readmission risk is highest and consistent support matters most.
Common reasons Decatur families call us after a hospital stay:

Dementia and Alzheimer's care in Decatur homes.
For a longtime Decatur resident, the familiarity of their home and neighborhood can be a stabilizing anchor during a dementia diagnosis, far more so than a move to an unfamiliar facility. Our LEAP-trained caregivers provide consistent, structured in-home memory care — often the most effective way to maintain quality of life and reduce anxiety in the early to mid stages of the disease.
What in-home dementia care looks like in Decatur
Our caregivers who work with memory care clients receive specialized training through HomeWell's LEAP program — focused on behavioral approaches, routine reinforcement, and meaningful engagement that reduces agitation and maintains dignity.
Families managing a parent's dementia while running demanding careers or lives rely on our Care Manager as the primary contact — sending updates, coordinating physician visits, and flagging changes before they become crises.
Many of our clients see specialists at the Emory Brain Health Center, one of the country's leading memory care programs. Our Care Managers review care plan notes and provide transportation to follow-up appointments.

When Decatur families typically call us.
Decatur families are often deeply hands-on and values-driven — they've been managing on their own longer than they probably should. Here are the moments that typically bring them to us.
- ✓A parent was discharged from Emory Decatur Hospital and the transition home feels precarious
- ✓Medications are being missed or self-managed inconsistently
- ✓A longtime Decatur resident is showing early signs of dementia — confusion, repetition, disorientation
- ✓Driving has become unsafe and the family is dreading the conversation
- ✓A Decatur resident who has always been independent is increasingly reluctant to leave the house
- ✓A family caregiver — often a spouse or nearby adult child — is stretched to their limit
- ✓A fall happened, or the house has become a fall risk
- ✓An adult child living outside Atlanta needs someone reliable and local
If any of these feel familiar, a free care planning call is a low-pressure way to figure out what the right next step actually is.
