Can my mother stay at home instead of going to a nursing home?
Often, yes. Georgia’s Elderly and Disabled Waiver pays for personal care, home-delivered meals, adult day health, respite and skilled nursing at home, for people who would otherwise qualify for a nursing facility. A nurse case manager coordinates it.
Can I get paid to care for my own parent?
In some cases. Georgia has three routes, and which one fits depends on the program your parent is in and your relationship to them. We walk through all three, and what each pays.
Dad is being discharged and can’t go home alone. What now?
Three phone calls, in order: the hospital discharge planner, the Area Agency on Aging, and us. We tell you what to say on each one and what to have in hand.
What is the difference between Medicare and Medicaid for care at home?
Medicare pays for short, skilled care after a hospital stay. Medicaid, through the waiver, pays for ongoing help at home: a helper, meals, and a nurse who checks in. Most families need the second one.
What is a case manager, and do I get to choose mine?
A nurse who arranges your helpers, meals and visits, builds your care plan, and checks in every month. You choose your case management agency, and you can change it.
How long does it take, honestly?
Two to six months from first call to services starting. Starting the phone call today is the fastest way through; we do the paperwork with you.
