Palmyra Personal Care Home sits at 1901 Palmyra Rd in Albany, Georgia, and serves seniors and other adults who need help in daily life, and they've been doing this in the Albany area for over 15 years now, which means lots of folks have come to know and trust the name. The community's set up like a residential care home, which gives folks a homelike feel and shared living, and you'll find licensed practical nurses (LPNs), registered nurses (RNs), and personal care assistants (PCAs) all working together to provide care, so people get help with things like bathing, grooming, meals, dressing, transfers, walking, even medication management and skilled nursing tasks like IV therapy, wound care, and lab draws when the doctor says it's needed. There's a strong focus on matching caregivers with residents based on your personality and needs, making sure everyone gets along and feels comfortable, and staff always go through background checks, drug tests, reference checks, and skill checks before starting their job, with ongoing training to follow state rules.
Palmyra Personal Care Home offers several types of services, covering personal care, caregiver relief, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and even pediatric care, which is a bit different from most places. They offer non-medical home care that means help with chores, hygiene, household tasks, errands, meal prep, grocery shopping, laundry, dry cleaning, bill paying, and escorting to doctor visits or running errands to stores or pharmacies, and if someone just needs company, companionship and sitter care's available too. Residents can use both indoor and outdoor common areas, including a special movie or theater room, and there are group activities such as stretching, art classes, devotional activities, local outings, and even day trips, which folks often find keeps things interesting, while those needing peace and quiet can relax in their own space or sit out for a smoke since outdoor smoking's allowed.
They're open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm, but if anyone needs care around the clock, that's possible by arrangement, including respite and short-term stays if a family caregiver needs a break. The home caters to people with different needs, whether someone's got physical disabilities, is an older adult needing mobility help, has developmental disabilities, or is a veteran or going through behavioral health treatment. Rooms come with wheelchair accessible showers, and meals are provided in the community, taking care of daily nutrition without fuss. While they don't accept Medicare unless they have the required certification, they do take Medicaid, VA insurance, Humana, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and other insurance plans, aiming to keep services affordable for many families, and estimated prices for in-home care range from $14 to $21 per hour.
Palmyra Personal Care Home doesn't just offer its own care but is also connected with several home care agencies in Albany like All Ways Caring HomeCare, M.R.S. Homecare, Heaven Sent Home Health Services, Ware Health Care Services, Phoebe Home Care, Jay and Jay Health Care Agency, Caring Hearts Home Care Services, Alive Home Care, Acti-Kare Senior & Home Care of Albany, Compassion Comfort & Care, Jr's Loving Care Services, S & S Private Home Care, South Ga Family Care, and Compassionate Keepers Home Care, so they help find the right fit if someone prefers care at home. Staff also help with care planning and connect folks to senior care experts if needed. The focus stays on meeting daily needs in a simple, safe, and comfortable way, without a lot of fuss, making sure seniors and their families get a bit more peace of mind when health starts to change or a little extra help is needed to stay independent, and local programs and state surveys check in to ensure standards stay in place.
