| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| VA Aid and Attendance Benefits | (912) 435-9748 | U.S. military veterans living in residential care facilities can apply for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit, which is also available to their spouses. The monthly benefit is included with the VA pension and is unique to the individual. Maximum payments are $1,881 for a single vet, $1,209 for a surviving spouse and $2,230 for a couple.

| GeorgiaCares | (866) 552-4464 | Administered by the Division of Aging Services, GeorgiaCares is a free program for adults aged 64 and over who are Medicare beneficiaries or need help with enrolling. Seniors can confidentially discuss their current levels of coverage with trained counselors, who can then advise them on their options, including additional Medicare plans that deal with shortfalls. Although these plans may include private health care insurance, the counselors will not try to sell plans. Their role is to provide seniors with the information they need to make more informed choices |
| Georgia Medicaid – Long-Term Services and Supports | (404) 657-5468 | Although Medicaid can’t cover the costs of room and board in assisted living facilities, there are waiver programs that may cover some associated costs, such as medications and transportation to medical appointments.

Additionally, seniors must show that their chosen type of care is the most appropriate for their needs. |
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (912) 367-4866 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman is an advocate for the rights of seniors in residential care communities. Seniors, their families and third parties can raise concerns about facilities, which the ombudsman will investigate. Depending on the nature of the complaint, the ombudsman will either seek to resolve it with the facility’s owners or refer it to a more suitable authority. |
