A Place to Call Home. Support to Live Your Best Life.
Our Alternative Living Services (ALS) – Family Model program provides a safe, supportive, and comfortable residential environment for individuals who need assistance with daily living while remaining connected to their community.
Through Georgia’s Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP), eligible individuals may receive Alternative Living Services as an alternative to nursing facility placement.

Our leadership has over 3 decades of experience in ALS in Georgia, more than any competitor! Indeed, Mr. Petrea was a pioneer in ALS Services in the early days of the waiver. We have owned and operated Personal Care Homes and supervised Family Model Homes for decades. We understand the service like you do.
What are Alternative Living Services (ALS)?
ALS is the provision of 24-hour supervision, medically related personal care, nursing supervision and health related support services in state licensed Personal Care Homes to Medicaid eligible individuals unable to live independently.

A FAMILY STYLE HOME
We believe a care home should feel like a home—not an institution.
ALS–Family Model services are provided in a state-licensed personal care home serving 2 to 6 residents. This smaller setting allows individuals to receive individualized support while enjoying the comfort and familiarity of a home environment.
Residents are encouraged to participate in everyday activities, make choices, develop relationships, and remain connected to their families and communities.
