GEORGIA MEDICAID WAIVER PROGRAMS

Helping You Access Personal Care Assistance at Home

Georgia’s Medicaid Waiver Programs allow eligible individuals to receive in-home Personal Care Assistance (PCA) instead of moving into a nursing home or long-term facility. At Devoted Home Care, LLC, we guide families through each program so they can receive compassionate, hands-on support in the comfort of home.

​

Our team helps seniors, adults with disabilities, veterans, and individuals with chronic conditions understand which waiver programs they qualify for, how to apply, and how to begin receiving services quickly.

What are Medicaid Waiver Programs?

Medicaid waivers “waive” certain institutional requirements, allowing individuals to receive care at home rather than in a facility. These programs pay for personal care, mobility support, ADLs, supervision, and daily assistance.

Waivers often cover services such as:

  • Bathing & hygiene

  • Dressing & grooming

  • Mobility support & transfers

  • Toileting & incontinence care

  • Feeding & meal assistance

  • Safety monitoring

  • Medication reminders

  • Daily living routines

These programs are ideal for:

  • Seniors wanting to remain at home

  • Adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities

  • Individuals with physical disabilities or mobility impairments

  • People with Alzheimer’s or dementia

  • Chronically ill adults

  • Veterans who prefer home-based support

  • Individuals needing long-term daily assistance
