Find Senior Living in Atlanta

Georgia licenses two distinct types of community care. Personal Care Homes (PCH) are lower-acuity settings licensed under Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 111-8-62, while Assisted Living Communities (ALC) — created by O.C.G.A. § 31-2-7 and licensed under 111-8-63 — offer a higher level of hands-on care. Some ALCs (and select PCHs) may also carry a Memory Care Center certification for secured dementia care. Both PCHs and ALCs are licensed and inspected by the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH), Healthcare Facility Regulation Division (HFRD). Families can verify a community's license and inspection history at the DCH/HFRD facility search (dch.georgia.gov).

Georgia's Community Care Services Program (CCSP) waiver can cover personal care and supports in PCH/ALC settings or at home for those who qualify, and SOURCE (Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment) may also help, but neither generally covers room & board. PACE availability in metro Atlanta is limited — our advisors help you understand current eligibility and options.
