Most families layer several sources rather than relying on one. Folks tend to lead with private savings and Social Security, then lean on long-term-care insurance where a policy is already in hand. Wartime veterans and surviving spouses should check VA Aid & Attendance through the Atlanta VA Health Care System. And Georgia's Community Care Services Program (CCSP) waiver (with the SOURCE program as an alternate path for some households) can cover care services — though not room and board — for seniors who meet the functional and financial tests, after a nursing-facility level-of-care assessment. Roswell pricing runs near or slightly above the metro median.

Medicare Nursing Home Coverage: what drives the number
Medicare is not a long-term-care program, and this is the single biggest cost misunderstanding families have. Medicare Part A covers skilled nursing only for short-term rehab after a qualifying three-day inpatient hospital stay — up to 100 days, with a daily co-pay after day 20 — and stops once a patient stops improving. Long-term custodial care is private-pay or Medicaid.
