Caring for a parent or spouse with memory loss is one of the hardest jobs a family can take on, especially out here in rural Oglethorpe County where the nearest hospital, Piedmont Athens Regional, is a drive away in Clarke County rather than just down the road. Families often juggle farm schedules, long commutes to Athens, and caregiving duties all at once, and it can feel like there just aren't enough hours in the day.
Cedar Grove Private Home Care is based right here in Crawford, at 245 South Woodlawn Dr., so we understand the pace and character of this county—the quiet roads, the close-knit communities, the distance between neighbors. We build dementia care plans around your loved one's existing routine, not a generic schedule, so familiar faces, familiar rooms, and familiar comforts stay part of daily life as memory changes.
Talk With a Care Coordinator
Dementia care from Cedar Grove isn't a single service—it's a blend of support chosen to match where your loved one is right now. That might mean a caregiver helping with bathing, dressing, and mobility in the morning, gentle medication reminders at midday, and quiet companionship in the afternoon so confusion and anxiety have less room to take hold. Meals get prepared, light housekeeping gets done, and routines stay consistent, which matters enormously for someone living with memory loss.
As needs shift, so does the plan. Some families start with a few hours of companion care a week; others need more hands-on personal care or regular respite so a spouse or adult child can rest, work, or simply breathe. We also provide non-medical transportation for appointments or errands, which is especially useful in a county like ours where driving distances to Athens or Lexington can add up quickly for a caregiver already stretched thin.
We provide care throughout the county's towns and crossroads communities—Lexington, Crawford, Arnoldsville, Maxeys, Philomath, Point Peter, Sandy Cross, Stephens, Vesta, and Smithonia—covering ZIP codes like 30648, 30630, 30619, 30671, 30659, and 30683. Whether your family is near the Oglethorpe County Courthouse in Lexington, out toward the historic Smithonia community, or closer to Athens Road, our caregivers come to the home and work within the rhythms of rural life rather than asking families to adapt to us.
Because Oglethorpe County has no hospital of its own, many families already coordinate care with Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center in neighboring Clarke County, and we're glad to support that coordination, including rides to and from appointments. The Oglethorpe County Senior Center on Oglethorpe Drive in Crawford is also a great local resource for caregiver support and connection, and we're happy to work alongside it as part of a larger circle of care for your loved one.
This is one of the most common concerns we hear, and it's a fair one—someone living with dementia may not understand or welcome a new face in their space. That's why we take time during the free care consultation to learn about your loved one's personality, history, and preferences before any care begins. A caregiver who understands that your dad was a cattle farmer near Maxeys for forty years, or that your mom still likes her coffee on the porch every morning, can connect in ways a stranger never could.
We also encourage families to start slowly when possible, introducing a caregiver for shorter visits first and building trust over time. Consistency matters too, so we try to match clients with caregivers who can return regularly rather than a rotating cast of unfamiliar faces. The goal is always the same: your loved one feels safe and respected, and you feel confident that they're in good hands even when you can't be there.
There's no single way families cover the cost of in-home dementia care, and we try to make the financial side as clear as possible from the start. Cedar Grove accepts private pay, long-term care insurance, VA benefits for eligible veterans, and Georgia Medicaid waiver programs including CCSP and SOURCE for those who qualify. Many families in a rural county like ours combine resources, using a veteran's benefit alongside private pay, for example, to cover the hours needed.
During your free consultation, we'll talk through which of these options might fit your family's situation and help you understand what documentation or next steps are involved. We know navigating VA benefits or Medicaid waiver programs can feel overwhelming on top of everything else, so we aim to make that conversation as straightforward and pressure-free as possible, right from the first phone call.
Families often use private pay or benefits to arrange dementia support; we can help you consider which path fits your household.
Private-pay care can give families a straightforward way to arrange help at home. Long-term care insurance is accepted, and we can discuss how it may fit your plan.
VA benefits are accepted for eligible veterans and surviving spouses seeking dementia care. We can help you understand options like Aid & Attendance.

Our office is located right in Crawford, so our caregivers are familiar with the area and able to reach clients throughout these communities without added delay.
Yes, since Oglethorpe County doesn't have its own hospital, many clients need rides to Piedmont Athens Regional in Clarke County. We offer non-medical transportation for medical appointments, errands, and pharmacy trips as part of a care plan, helping reduce the burden on family members who would otherwise need to arrange every trip themselves.
We understand how important consistency and familiarity are for someone living with memory loss, so we do our best to match clients with caregivers who can return regularly. This helps build trust over time and makes daily routines, like bathing or mealtime, feel more comfortable and less disorienting for your loved one.
