At Georgia Options, we do our part to support people with Home and Community Based Services (HCBS). Everyone deserves to live in their own home, not an institution.

Pride, all year. 🧡

Today is the last day of Disability Pride Month, but pride is not something we clock out of on August first.

Every day we get to see it in action. People with disabilities living in their own homes, making their own choices, and shaping their own communities. That is what we celebrate in July, and what we show up for the other eleven months too.

You lead. We help. 🧡

That is the whole idea. The people we support decide where they live, how they spend their days, and what a good life looks like for them. Our job is to make it happen, not to run it.

Support should follow the person, always. Never the other way around.

Nothing about us, without us. 🧡

It is a promise as much as a phrase. The people we support are not along for the ride, they are in the driver’s seat.

That means we ask before we act, we listen more than we talk, and every plan starts with what the person actually wants for their own life. Real support follows the person, never the other way around.

Presume competence. 🧡

It sounds simple, but it changes everything. It means starting with what a person can do, instead of what someone else assumed they could not.

For the adults we support, that belief is the difference between being managed and being heard. It is why we ask first, listen closely, and build support around the life each person actually wants.

We help adults with disabilities write their own story. ✍️

Since 1992, we have supported our neighbors across Georgia to live in their own homes and lead lives they choose. Free from segregation. Free from the presumption of incompetence.

Want to be part of the story? There are lots of ways to get involved. Link in bio. 💛

Our entrance just got a serious upgrade. 🙌

A huge thank you to for redoing our entrance area. It looks fantastic, and it makes every arrival a little better for the people we support, our team, and everyone who visits.

Need concrete work done right? These are your people. Locally and veteran owned, right here in Athens.

Thank you, Sam The Concrete Man Athens! 🧡
