Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Savannah

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.

Free Assisted Living Resources in Savannah

The following resources include examples of how seniors and their families can get financial help to make assisted living a more affordable option, as well as where to go when help is needed.

ResourceContactService
VA Aid and Attendance Benefits(912) 435-9748U.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. VeteranAid.org provides a useful free tool on their website for seniors unsure if they qualify.
GeorgiaCares(866) 552-4464Administered 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) 657-5468Although 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. The Community Care Services Program (CCSP) is available to seniors who can provide evidence that they’re residents of Georgia, are U.S. citizens (or legal residents) and that their income and assets are below the thresholds. Additionally, seniors must show that their chosen type of care is the most appropriate for their needs.
Long-Term Care Ombudsman(912) 367-4866The 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.
