How much does Heartis Buckhead cost?
HFRD does not collect or publish rates, so the only reliable number is Heartis Buckhead's own written rate sheet. For context, assisted living in Metro Atlanta typically runs $3,900 to $5,900 per month in 2026.
Because Atlanta spans the full metro price range — from budget-friendly West End options to premium Buckhead communities — it is where families have the most room to compare on cost and care level.
Paying for it: Georgia's Community Care Services Program (CCSP) waiver and SOURCE can pay for care services for Medicaid-eligible residents, but neither pays room and board in a PCH or ALC, and not every community accepts them. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid & Attendance. See SOURCE vs CCSP.
