How to Pay for Assisted Living in Alpharetta

Assisted living residents incorporate various strategies to pay for their monthly care fees. By using a mix of public and private payment options, seniors can avoid overextending themselves financially and ensure long-term care remains economically viable.

  • Medicaid: Georgia Medicaid operates two waivers that pay for assisted living services: the Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program and the Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment Program for Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries. Neither program pays for room and board, but both cover personal care services, meals and rehabilitative therapies.
  • Medicare: The federal health insurance program pays for skilled nursing services, medication administration and durable medical equipment, helping older adults reduce out-of-pocket care costs. However, it doesn’t pay for assisted living through its regular coverage, Medicare Advantage plans or Medigap.
  • VA Benefits: Veterans may pay for some or all of their assisted living expenses through VA programs. These include Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits, which increase their monthly pension, and the Geriatrics and Extended Care program, which pays for personal care services, meals and transportation.
  • Private Payments: Social Security benefits, pension income, retirement savings and long-term care insurance help seniors pay for housing, personal care services and other fees in assisted living.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Alpharetta

Eligible seniors can apply for financial assistance with assisted living in Alpharetta through two state-operated programs: Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment (SOURCE) and the Community Care Service Program (CCSP).

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Alpharetta

  • Alpharetta sees about 39 crimes per square mile every year. While this rate outpaces the state norm of 19 and the national median of 27, it’s considerably lower than typical rates in other cities with similar population sizes. Its safest neighborhoods are on the east and west sides of the city, providing plenty of options for prospective assisted living residents who prioritize safety.
  • Georgia’s generous income tax laws help many seniors afford assisted living costs in Alpharetta. Seniors aged 65 and over don’t pay state income tax on their Social Security benefits, and they can claim a deduction of up to $65,000 to offset what they owe for other retirement income.
  • Alpharetta has hot, muggy summers and mild winters, with average year-round daytime temperatures ranging from 52 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit. Many assisted living communities in the region have outdoor amenities for residents who enjoy warm weather, with the proprietary Caring.com database highlighting over two dozen facilities with swimming pools.
