Georgia Infirmary

The Georgia Infirmary (gai) offers a variety of services for the elderly and disabled, including an alternative to nursing home placement for disabled and chronically ill adults. The adult day health program provides the elderly and physically disabled with daytime care and supervision. Registered nurses provide skilled services and serve as liaisons between doctors and families. Participants receive a blend of primary medical care, preventative care and supportive services. Case managers arrange and monitor services, making sure participants receive timely and effective care. The organization also manages housing for low and moderate income persons. As part of its social accountability responsibility, gai provides meeting and office space in its building for committee groups at no charge (i.e., the 100 black men, african-american health initiative, latin- american service organization (laso), the disability planning committee of the sav-chatham metro planning organization, the community cardio-vascular council, black nurses association, etc. ).
