How Georgia Licenses Assisted Living
Georgia Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division (DCH HFRD) licenses assisted living communities and personal care homes in Georgia. License categories in Georgia:
- Assisted Living Community (25+ beds)
- Personal Care Home
- Memory Care Center certification
What it means for your family: Georgia requires a separate Memory Care Center certification for communities that market memory care. Because 61 of 90 Georgia partners run memory care too, ask early whether a community can keep your loved one as needs change.
You can look up inspection results for any Georgia community through the DCH HFRD licensing page.
How Georgia Families Combine VA Benefits With Other Sources
Elderly and Disabled Waiver (CCSP and SOURCE)
The Elderly and Disabled Waiver can cover alternative living services in approved settings.
Aid & Attendance in Georgia
The benefit is paid to the Georgia veteran or surviving spouse, not the community, so it can go toward any assisted living bill. It is not federally taxable.
The family home
Selling or renting a Georgia home can fund several years of care. Time the sale with the VA claim in mind.
Long-term care insurance
If your Georgia parent bought a long-term care policy years ago, it may pay a set daily amount toward assisted living.
