Laties Personal Care Home sits on over two acres of fenced land in Jonesboro, GA, with a large gazebo outside where folks can walk, garden, or do exercises, and there's a big sunroom inside for lounging, games, or staying active year-round, so there's room to breathe and plenty of fresh air if someone wants it. The home feels friendly and private, with spacious single and double bedrooms, a large eat-in kitchen for casual meals, a separate formal dining room for group dinners, and a family room that has a fireplace plus cable, DVD, and VCR, which is handy for gatherings or just relaxing in the evening. The building is handicap accessible, and showers are wheelchair-friendly too, so moving around isn't a problem if mobility is limited. Staff members stay on site all day and all night, which means someone is always around in case of a need, and they've got experience-over 25 years' worth-looking after seniors living with conditions such as diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, mild retardation, mental disorders, head injuries, and disabilities, so they know how to manage a lot of different care needs.
The home is licensed by the state (license number PCH008549), welcoming male residents and only allowing female residents, which is something to consider. They allow a few pets, so some animal companions can stay, and everyone must be at least 55 years old to move in. The amenities include indoor and outdoor common areas, free resident parking, devotional activities both on and off the property, a beauty and barber area, and meals provided daily. There are also regular onsite and offsite programs, doctor-on-call, nurse-on-call, and dentist services, plus access to podiatrist, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, so many health and comfort needs are met without needing to leave. The care covers assisted living, Alzheimer's care, hospice, and respite stays, and programs help residents maintain independence and enjoy social time, games, and activities as they're able. The staff try to keep things simple, comfortable, and suited to each person's needs, with attention to safety since the whole property is fenced and smoking isn't allowed indoors. All in all, Laties Personal Care Home gives a steady, home-like setting with room to stretch out, shared meals, and enough support for those needing more than just a place to live but a place to be cared for with experience and patience.
