Georgia Assisted Living

Georgia offers a place of home for 10+ million people and has grown moderately over the last few decades. Compared to Florida, it has way fewer people and is not growing nearly as quickly.

Why look for assisted living in Georgia?

Georgia offers a similar climate to Florida yet in far smaller towns (outside of Atlanta of course) than the touristy and exclusive communities of Florida. For this reason, some senior citizens who would like to avoid the busy city life yet want to get treated to the same weather opt to live in Georgia.

Georgia, like Florida, is also very affordable. Both states rank within the Top 5 in the nation for assisted living costs, so who doesn’t like a good deal in the expensive climate of senior care?

You will also find familiar faces here as a significant population is 62+ or older, who also appreciate the southern charm and historical value of the Peach State.

Paying for Assisted Living in Georgia

Monetary help in Georgia is provided for families seeking help under the Community Care Services Program. It allows a family member to live in one of what the state defines as “Community Living Homes”.

The Georgia SOURCE Waiver also can provide aid for those in need. The program is only available in select counties, however.
