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 Wesley Woods Health Center

Staffing and transparency are the most important signals at any licensed community. Find out the awake-overnight staffing level, caregiver turnover, and the tenure of the administrator. Ask for an itemized, all-in monthly rate for your parent's specific care level, and what triggers a move to a higher-cost care tier. Visit more than once, unannounced, and check the license and inspection record with Georgia DCH via the DCH/HFRD facility search.
