Who We Are
Ark Family Counseling Center, The Ricky Homes are dedicated to serving children who have experienced or are at risk of abuse, neglect, or abandonment, providing them with a safe and stable environment. Our services cater to youth who range in age from 12-21 years old.
Since our establishment in 1994 by Kelly Gibbs, Ark Family Counseling Center, The Ricky Homes has been committed to making a positive difference in the lives of vulnerable children. Kelly recognized the need for a unique residential facility and opened our first home in South Dekalb County, Decatur, GA. Over the years, our organization has grown alongside the surrounding communities, prompting us to expand our reach by establishing additional homes in various metropolitan areas across Atlanta. At Ricky Homes, we pride ourselves on offering a warm and welcoming space for children in need, staffed by caring and dedicated professionals who serve as quality care providers and Residential House Parents.
