What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Georgia?

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Georgia Medicaid cover assisted living?

Georgia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Georgia) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
