Tarr Personal Care Home sits on a peaceful six-acre property at 1180 Mundys Mill Rd in Jonesboro, Georgia, and holds a license from the State of Georgia to provide care for up to five residents in a house-like setting that feels calm and private, with six furnished bedrooms, both private and semi-private, and all linens provided. Karbea and Susannah Tarr, who started their care home business back in 2015, run this locally owned and operated residential care home with a team of trained staff and a registered nurse who visits three times a month, and they work hard to give support and respect to every resident, focusing on the elderly and people with disabilities, including those who have Alzheimer's or dementia.
Residents get three nutritious meals and two snacks every day, with special menu options available for those who need diets for diabetes or allergies, and the staff are always there to help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, offering both assisted living and board and care level services, plus incontinence care for those who need it. The home has a good number of safety features, like emergency alert systems and 24-hour supervision, so families don't have to worry as much, and there are many amenities such as housekeeping, linen and laundry services, dry cleaning, a small library, garden, walking paths, furnished rooms, and a dining room for meals and socializing.
Life at Tarr Personal Care Home includes daily activities and community-sponsored programs - movie nights, gatherings, and a chance for companionship for those who want it, but the home also lets residents keep their routines and privacy, and they help families with move-in coordination and keep open communication about care. The property gives everyone room to move about, with a tranquil setting that helps you relax, and the staff treat every person with kindness and dignity.
The home has a flexible approach, so if a resident's needs change and they need more specialized care beyond the regular assisted living or board and care, family members can bring in private care providers, and there's also an option for short-term respite care. The monthly rate starts at $2,000, and Medicare isn't accepted unless there's special certification. Tarr Personal Care Home employs both part-time and full-time staff, offers staff positions for weekend caregivers and CNA/PCA roles, and takes pride in working with families and keeping up with licensing standards in Georgia, making sure all procedures, policies, and files are kept in order for inspections and regulatory needs. While the home doesn't offer every advanced medical service, it does cover most of the caregiving needs for residents who want a small, quiet, and supportive place to live.
