Understanding the Georgia Medicaid Care Pathway
Georgia’s Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program includes CCSP and SOURCE. These programs may help eligible older adults and people with disabilities receive services at home or in the community instead of a nursing facility.
Step 1

Contact Ageless and tell us about current care needs, daily routines, recent health changes, Medicaid status, and the type of assistance needed at home.

Review the Program and Referral Pathway
We can explain general program information and help connect your family with Georgia’s Aging and Disability Resource Connection for screening.
Eligibility, level of care, service approval, and provider assignment are determined by the authorized agencies and care coordinators.
