Medicaid: Georgia residents who qualify for facility level of care may be eligible for Georgia's Community Care Services Program (CCSP) waiver and the SOURCE Medicaid HCBS program. The CCSP waiver, administered through the Georgia Division of Aging Services and Area Agencies on Aging, and the SOURCE program can cover personal care and supports usable in a PCH/ALC setting or at home, but neither pays for PCH/ALC room and board. Not all facilities accept Medicaid — confirm directly with the provider.

How to evaluate Arbor Terrace Cascade

The strongest predictors of care quality at a senior-care community aren't in the brochure. Ask the overnight caregiver-to-resident ratio (daytime numbers hide the real picture), staff turnover rate over the past year, and how long the administrator has been in place. Ask what care needs would force a move-out and how the care plan is reviewed. Walk the halls during a meal and an activity — notice whether residents are engaged. Verify the Georgia DCH license and inspection history through the Georgia DCH/HFRD facility search.
