CCRCs: what you're actually buying

A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) spans independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing on one campus, so a resident can age in place as needs change.

The assisted-living portion is licensed as a Personal Care Home or Assisted Living Community and the skilled-nursing portion is DCH/HFRD-licensed under 111-8-56, with CCRC contracts governed by Georgia insurance and consumer-contract law. A typical monthly range is $3,200 to $6,800 a month plus a significant entrance fee.

The details that matter most rarely show up in the brochure:

  • the entrance-fee refund terms in the contract
  • the financial health of the operator and its reserves
  • guaranteed access to higher levels of care and at what price

Does Medicaid cover ccrc in Kennesaw?
Medicaid does not directly pay for room and board in ccrc settings, but Georgia's Community Care Services Program (CCSP) waiver and the SOURCE Medicaid HCBS program cover personal care, attendant care, and in-home/community-based services, which can offset much of the care portion for eligible residents. Eligibility is income- and asset-based. Our advisors can walk you through what your parent qualifies for and which Kennesaw facilities accept the plan.
How do I know if a ccrc facility in Kennesaw is licensed?
Every legal ccrc provider in Kennesaw is licensed by the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH), Healthcare Facility Regulation Division (HFRD), under Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 111-8-62 (Personal Care Homes) and 111-8-63 (Assisted Living Communities / Memory Care Centers). You can look up any facility's license, inspections, complaints, and regulatory actions directly through the Georgia DCH/HFRD facility search (dch.georgia.gov). The only facilities we ever put in front of a family are the ones holding an active, clean license.
What's the difference between ccrc and a nursing home?
Ccrc is for older adults who need help with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication reminders) but don't require 24/7 skilled medical care. Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs) provide ongoing medical care from licensed nurses for residents with serious medical conditions or post-hospital recovery needs. Many Kennesaw families start with ccrc and transition to skilled nursing if care needs increase.
How fast can I move my parent into ccrc in Kennesaw?
Most Kennesaw facilities can accept a new resident within 3–10 days, assuming the health assessment, financial paperwork, and physician's order are complete. When a secured unit happens to have room, memory care can even come together same-day or next-day.
