Georgia Respite Inn-Lawton Place Manor

Located in Mt. Airy, GA, Lawton Place Manor is the 2nd foundation-owned signature respite inn for A Mother's Rest. Functioning as a non-profit, free of charge "bed and breakfast" style sanctuary, Lawton Place Manor serves more than (400) weary special needs parents & caregivers annually. Our primary social media theme is #SLEEPMATTERS, addressing the benefits of adequate recuperative sleep and it's positive impact on the physical and mental health of parents & caregivers. Lawton Place Manor provides affordable, frequent respite to weary moms, dads, couples, and other caregivers who have loved ones with disabilities and/or chronic illness. Open year-round, we host 3 night weekend retreats exclusively for these individuals, offering critical recuperative rest, mental health support, and therapeutic fellowship. Not only do we serve parents of children with special needs, we also host all foster and adoptive parents, special educators, spouses of wounded warriors/veterans, and caregivers to their own elderly parents living at home. We rely entirely on donations from guests, social groups, churches, and others in the community. Our monthly expenses at this location (including a full-time property manager/innkeeper, housekeeping, insurance, property maintenance, and utilities) are approx $10,000. We hold separate fundraisers for additional capital projects and improvements.
