My home is currently approved via The State of Georgia to operate as Edna Mae Lockett Personal Care Home, which is a six-bed facility. Also, currently hold a Dekalb County Business License to operate as a 6 bed. would like to increase myi intake size to a community model as there is a desperate need for our elderly population to receive quality care in a quality home that's affordable. The home is in great condition and sits on 2.91 acres and a large frontage in which the home is extremely far back from the traffic/road- The home is quiet, and no one really knows we are there on the street. Our direct neighbors are extremely supportive. This home is considered a family model personal care home dedicated to care and services for the Elderly, Disable and Mentally fragile that will operate 24hrs; include a staff of five. We have been in business since 2017, and we haven't received any state citations. In fact, I receive several calls from people who have been referred to by doctors, nurses and others alike. It is our motto and pledge that our home will provide compassionate quality care and services in a client-centered family environment. Being approved to operate as a special land use will not impact or impede my neighbors within the community. sincerely state that there will be no modifications nor renovations or signs placed. During our fire inspection the inspector indicated that our home occupancy size could be 16, report attached. Please contact me should you have any questions.
