Georgia Home Care Medicaid

CCSP services cover several community needs

Georgia's CCSP materials list case management, adult day health, alternative living services, personal care, home-delivered meals, and respite care among available services (Georgia CCSP Manual Chapter 200; Georgia Medicaid long-term-care overview).

EDWP eligibility criteria include an intermediate nursing-facility level of care, actual or potential Medicaid eligibility, a documented choice of community care, and community services costing less than equivalent nursing-facility Medicaid care (Georgia Aging Services eligibility criteria).

Financial criteria for SOURCE and CCSP follow ABD/SSI-level Medicaid or the $2,982 monthly cap with a Qualified Income Trust where needed (Georgia Aging Services eligibility criteria; DFCS PAMMS §2407).

Do not guess at enrollment or availability

A current primary-source enrollment count for SOURCE and CCSP was not located in the research behind this page, so no participant total is asserted here.

Georgia also operates ICWP, NOW, and COMP as separate 1915(c) waivers, so EDWP is not the only community-care route for every disability profile (Georgia waiver programs).

EDWP's two models and provider geography mean that a service request needs a local assessment rather than an assumption that all services are available in all counties (DCH HCBS guide).

Plan for both care access and eligibility

Community care can be an alternative to institutional care, but it has its own care-level, choice, cost, and financial requirements. Compare Florida's home-care Medicaid page for a different access model and see Medicaid (Baseline) for the broader funding framework.

Start early with the local aging network and confirm the applicable model, provider availability, and DFCS financial requirements before depending on a home-care plan.
