Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Athens may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Athens care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Athens, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Riverbend, Kingswood and Normaltown.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Watkinsville, Statham or Green Acres.

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:
Athens, home to the University of Georgia, hosts all the resources and conveniences of a modern city with many local attractions both on and off campus. Residents can get the most of Athens in their own way through the city’s lively music and football cultures, its pristine natural areas, or the diverse shopping and dining experiences in the downtown district.
In Athens, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The median monthly cost of a room in a care home in 2019 was about $2,000 in the Athens area and $2,100 in the state of Georgia. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
The total household expenses associated with living in Athens are rated 26 points below the national average. Grocery and other essential costs are also rated well below the average, indicating that Athens is relatively affordable.
