Understanding the public and private payment options for funding assisted living helps seniors determine how much they can afford to spend on care. Facilities typically accept private payments for all types of care expenses, while many promote affordability by accepting certain health insurance and veterans’ benefits.
Eligible seniors can apply for financial assistance with assisted living in Atlanta through two state-operated programs: Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment (SOURCE) and the Community Care Service Program (CCSP). Both of these are Medicaid waiver programs and subject to availability.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Georgia page.
Assisted living costs have seen a rise in recent years due to inflation. In Atlanta, this has resulted in costs increasing by approximately 9.5% from 2022 to 2023 ($3,392 to $3,717).

Despite these increases, assisted living still remains affordable in Atlanta compared to the U.S. national average ($4,459) and Georgia state median ($3,952).
