Free Assisted Living Resources in Macon
Seniors and families considering assisted living but concerned about costs should find the following resources useful. There’s also information for those with concerns about care standards.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| VA Aid and Attendance Benefits | (478) 327-3346 | The VA Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly payment added to the VA pension. Its purpose is to help qualifying U.S. military veterans and their spouses pay for their care in a senior living facility. There’s no requirement to repay benefits, which can be up to $1,881 for a single vet, $1,209 for a surviving spouse and $2,230 for a couple. VeteranAid.org has included a useful tool on its website for vets to check if they qualify for the benefits. |
| GeorgiaCares | (866) 552-4464 | Adults aged 64 and over can get help from GeorgiaCares, a free program designed to provide seniors with all the information they’ll need about Medicare to make informed decisions. The program is administered by the Division of Aging Services, which utilizes the expertise of local counselors to inform and advise seniors about their options in regards to Medicare. These may include private health care insurance, although the counselors will not try to sell plans as their services are unbiased. |
| Georgia Medicaid – Long-Term Services and Supports | (404) 657-5468 | The Community Care Services Program (CCSP) is a Medicaid waiver that can help seniors who qualify get free or subsidized access to the medications they need and transportation to their medical appointments. Although seniors residing in assisted living facilities will be considered equally with others, the waiver cannot contribute towards their room and board costs. To be considered, seniors need to prove that they reside in Georgia, are U.S. citizens (or legal residents) and that their incomes are not higher than the program’s limits. |
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (912) 367-4866 | Seniors, their families and third parties can register their concerns about assisted living facilities with the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. Their complaints will be investigated, and the ombudsman will seek to resolve them with the facility’s owners, unless the complaint alleges criminality, such as neglect, in which case it will be passed on to the relevant authorities. The ombudsman also educates seniors on the rights of assisted living community residents. |

Review of Agape Personal Care Home
