According to Caring’s 2022 Senior Living Report, Atlanta ranked second in the state for overall care for seniors. This is partly due to the number of parks, restaurants, shopping centers and points of interest for older adults. While the cost of living may be slightly higher than the national average, the cost of groceries and health care tends to be more affordable. The city is also home to a few nationally recognized hospitals, including Emory University and Northside Hospital Atlanta.
For these reasons, many seniors prefer to remain in their homes and communities when they require personal care. They can opt for home care, which offers help with daily living tasks like grooming, bathing and housekeeping, or add medical care with home health care. For those who choose home care, the monthly cost is around $4,290.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Atlanta area – complete with services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled resources to help seniors and their families to access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

The other company would not even ask their employees whether they were vaccinated. They provide some bathing, home cleaning, laundry services, basically the ADLs. The caregiver has been OK so far. We had some difficulty originally with the billing, but that has resolved itself. They are easy to work with, and so far, I believe you get a decent service.

Financial Assistance for Home Care in Atlanta, GA
Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
- Long-Term Care Insurance: Long-Term Care Insurance covers expenses related to senior care, including in-home care. Depending on the policy type, beneficiaries may receive a cash payment to use towards long-term care or reimbursement for qualifying long-term care expenses. Note that there are limitations- typically a maximum benefit of $150 per day- and exact coverage terms vary depending on the exact policy, so always check the details.
- Medicare: Medicare does not cover in-home care because it is classified as custodial, or non-medical, care. However, some Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, which offer expanded benefits, may cover in-home custodial care.
- Medicaid: Medicaid coverage of in-home care varies between different states because it is not a federally mandated benefit. Currently, all states cover some in-home care either through their standard Medicaid or a waiver program. The specific coverage rules are set individually by each state.
- Veterans’ Benefits: The Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly cash payment that beneficiaries can use to pay for senior care, including in-home care services. To qualify for A&A, Veterans must already receive the VA pension and meet several additional requirements, including needing assistance with the activities of daily living.Contact the Department of Veterans Affairs to learn more.
- Reverse Mortgages: Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are federally insured loans that are available to homeowners age 62 and over. Reverse mortgages allow you to access a portion of your home’s equity in cash, tax free. Many seniors use reverse mortgages to finance their care expenses, including in-home care. Note that although there are no monthly payments due on reverse mortgage loans, borrowers do have to repay the loan once the last surviving homeowner passes away, moves, or sells the home.
Free & Low-Cost Home Care Resources in Atlanta, GA
Homebound seniors can get help with various needs from businesses and organizations within the community. These resources can help with home repairs, energy bills, meals and other general needs.
House Proud of Atlanta provides free necessary home repairs to seniors in the area. These repairs include wheelchair ramp repairs, installation of outdoor lights and repairing rotting floors, roofs and gutters, replacing outlets and fixtures and replacing or repairing broken windows. Funding is provided by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners.
LIHEAP provides financial assistance to seniors 65 and older with their heating and cooling costs. The program also assists with minor home repairs. To be eligible, an individual must be a US citizen, meet the state income requirements for assistance and be responsible for the heating or cooling costs. The program is not an entitlement program, so acceptance depends on the available funds.
Georgia WAP helps seniors and those with limited incomes increase the energy efficiency of their homes. The program provides air and duct sealing, HVAC improvements, water heater insulation and the installation of water conservation appliances.
Meals on Wheels Atlanta helps fight hunger by providing more than 1,800 meals per day within the city for seniors and their pets. The program also provides fellowship, wellness checks and nutrition education.
Respite Care Atlanta helps caregivers rest and ensures the safety of those in care. The program operates three days a week with the exception of holidays.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for in a good home care agency near me in Atlanta?
Search for agencies that provide the services you need. Once you’ve narrowed your search down to three or four agencies, look for awards and reviews on each company. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a good place to learn basic information and discover any complaints against the company. Ask friends, health care workers and other family members for recommendations, then visit and speak to your top choices.
What is the difference between in-home care and home health care?
The main difference between home care and home health care is home health care offers medical support, including skilled nursing, wound care, medication administration, IV therapy and additional medical care. In contrast, home care provides non-clinical support, including dressing, bathing, housekeeping and meal prep.
How do you pay for senior care at home?
Most insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare, cover the cost of home health care and all medically necessary services. To pay for non-medical care, most seniors cover the cost using personal savings and income from Supplemental Security Insurance. Other ways to pay include reverse mortgages, which allow you to borrow off the equity in your home, and annuities from past investments. Veterans may use veterans’ benefits, while other family members often help with the cost.
Who pays for cleaning supplies for in-home care?
The cost of cleaning supplies is typically provided by you and not the home care provider, unless it’s been specifically determined. In some cases, the home care provider will provide housekeeping services but request you pay extra for cleaning supplies.
What is in-home respite care?
In-home respite care provides a break for caregivers. This is most often offered to friends and family members who provide daily care. The service may be offered for several hours or weeks and can be provided as a one-time or recurring event.
