Understanding in-home care in Georgia
In-home care brings a caregiver to the house for companionship, personal care, and help with daily tasks, on a schedule that flexes from a few hours a week to live-in.
Home care agencies operate under Georgia DCH licensing rules, and for eligible seniors, personal care can be covered through Georgia's Community Care Services Program (CCSP) waiver or the SOURCE program. A typical monthly range is $25 to $32 an hour.
Here's what separates a strong community from a weak one:
- whether caregivers are employees (bonded and insured) or contractors
- how the agency handles a missed shift or a caregiver mismatch
- whether they accept the CCSP waiver, SOURCE, or long-term-care insurance
