Beyond finding a community, ATL Senior Advisor points Atlanta-area families to the free and low-cost resources that help an older adult stay safe and supported — whether they're aging at home or planning a move. Here's where to start across Metro Atlanta.
Core resources for Metro Atlanta seniors
- Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) Area Agency on Aging: free options counseling, benefits screening, and caregiver support for the 10-county metro-Atlanta region (Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Cherokee, Clayton, Douglas, Fayette, Henry, and Rockdale). The Georgia Division of Aging Services (DAS) oversees the network statewide, and the Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) of Georgia connects families to local aging services at 1-866-552-4464 (verify before launch).
- Georgia CCSP Waiver & SOURCE Program: long-term care coverage for eligible seniors — see our Georgia senior care hub.
- Veterans benefits: VA Aid & Attendance and the Atlanta VA Health Care System; VA Caregiver Support Line 1-855-260-3274.
- Meals, transportation & senior centers: Meals on Wheels, non-emergency medical transport, and community senior centers throughout the metro.
- Verify a license: check any facility's DCH/HFRD record on the Georgia DCH/HFRD facility search (dch.georgia.gov) before you tour.
