Lulu Home Care for Local Families
Lulu is a small unincorporated community on State Road 100, about 10.5 miles east-southeast of Lake City in Columbia County. Lake City Home Care provides in-home care for seniors in Lulu, about 15 minutes from our Lake City office.
Life along State Road 100
Lulu grew up along the old Georgia Southern and Florida Railway, whose former right-of-way still runs beside SR 100. It had its own post office from 1891 to 1976, and the community is said to be named after the first postmaster's sweetheart. Today it's a quiet place of farms and long driveways, where neighbors look out for each other and the nearest pharmacy is back in Lake City.
Because most errands mean a drive west on SR 100 into Lake City, our Lulu clients often combine care visits with rides to appointments, the grocery store and church. Caregivers coming from our office make the trip in about 15 minutes.
