Program
Georgia in-home care waiver (CCSP / SOURCE)
Georgia's Medicaid program for home care instead of a nursing home. There is often a waiting list.
What it can pay for
- a home care aide
- personal care
- homemaker help
- adult day care
- respite care
- meals
- rides
- a medical alert button
- assistive devices
- assisted living
- caregiver pay
- Official name
- Georgia Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP), also called CCSP or SOURCE
- Where
- Georgia
- Status
- Waiting list
- About the amount
- No dollar voucher — you get a care plan whose annual cost is checked against nursing-facility cost. Assistive Technology is 'payor of last resort' with no dollar cap stated.
- Housing rules
- Serves people in their own home, a rental, a relative's home, or an alternative living setting; ownership only matters for estate recovery.
- How long it takes
- Unknown; screening (DON-R) happens fast, but funded slots depend on the waitlist.
- How to apply
- Call 1-866-552-4464 (routes to your regional AAA/ADRC) for the DON-R phone screening; if eligible, you're placed on the EDWP waiting list until funds open, then a Care Coordination Agency or SOURCE site does a face-to-face MDS-Home Care assessment and DFCS processes Medicaid financial eligibility.
- Does not pay for
- No structural home-modification service in EDWP at all — only device-level Assistive Technology (added 2022). For ramps/bathroom remodels, use the AAA's separate $2,000 home-mod door (S2-GA-03).
