How to Pay for Assisted Living in Kennesaw:

Assisted living facilities in Kennesaw accept several forms of payment for housing and services, providing flexible payment solutions for residents. By understanding the public and private payment options available, prospective residents effectively plan for long-term care expenses.

  • Medicaid: The Georgia Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program is a Medicaid waiver that pays for some assisted living services for qualified individuals. Eligible services include personal care services, emergency response systems, meals and housekeeping.
  • Medicare: Because assisted living facilities provide nonmedical services, Medicare coverage doesn’t apply. However, residents who receive skilled nursing services or rely on durable medical equipment use their Medicare coverage for these and other medically necessary services, bringing down their overall care costs.
  • VA Benefits: Qualifying veterans have access to two programs that cover some of the services they receive in assisted living, including Aid and Attendance and the Geriatrics and Extended Care programs. These programs help pay for personal care services, skilled nursing, transportation and meals.
  • Private Payments: Seniors typically use some of their own income and savings toward some or all their assisted living expenses, including room and board, personal care, meal plans and recreation. Common sources for private payments include Social Security disability and retirement benefits, public and private pensions, long-term care insurance and 401(k)s.
