I visited this facilityReview of Legacy Ridge at Marietta

It looks like I'm going to move in to Legacy Ridge at Marietta, probably end of December. It's new and it's really nice looking. I hope I'm going to be able to adjust to it because it will be a change. Everybody seemed happy and helpful there. We spent a lot of time there today, looking around, answering questions and my daughter was there with me and filled up some paperwork. The staff was good, they were terrific. They have no Covid positive there. We didn't see much of activities, it was in the afternoon. There was a courtyard but it was a bad weather, there was nobody out in the court. They ask me what I like and I've seen the dining area and it's very nice. It's definitely clean.

I visited this facilityReview of Arbor Terrace Acworth

We're very happy with everything. The facility was nice and the people were nice; everything would have worked but my mother-in-law decided she didn't want to go yet. The staff was excellent, the room was very nice and everything was very comfortable for what her needs were. In terms of amenities and activities, we went through what they do but with COVID it's not as much as before. The meals are included.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Manor Care Rehabilitation Center - Marietta

My father checked out of Manor Care Rehabilitation Center two weeks ago yesterday. They were very helpful in keeping you abreast of what was going on. They were very thorough in providing you with information related to what they do and what would be happening during his stay. We were allowed to visit him through the window of his room, and any time we asked a question, people were very responsive. The facility, from what we could ascertain, appeared very well kept. It's a very nice campus. Overall, we felt he got good care. He said the food was tasteless, though.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Anderson Mill Center for Nursing and Healing

Anderson Mill Health and Rehabilitation Center is a good facility. My friend stayed there and gave me a good review of them, which is why I decided on my father going there. It's clean and spacious. The staff has been good. I haven't had a bad experience since he's been there. The communication could be better. It's very challenging when trying to call and check on your loved ones. That's the only thing I would say is not good. Everything seemed pretty clean with the feeding that they give him.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Signature HealthCARE at Tower Road

My uncle was at Signature Healthcare. It was wonderful. His room was great; however, he shared it with another person. Four people also had to share a bathroom, which was rough. The staff members were fantastic. They were wonderful. My uncle didn't complain about the food. He had a lot of physical therapy and occupational therapy. It did not feel like a nursing home when you walk in. You didn't get that impression at all. It didn't smell that way. It was bright and wonderful.

It is good. My brother is in their assisted living. The staff is friendly, the surroundings are very nice, and the food is good. The activities are very good and varied. They have bus trips, trips to lunch, and tours to different areas.

I visited this facilityReview of Woodland Ridge Assisted Living & Memory Care

Woodland Ridge is very safe and secure. The residents there can't get lost and the people were very nice. The place is really clean and didn't have any residual odors that some nursing homes have. Overall, it's very welcoming. The staff member who assisted me during my tour was very nice and informative. I saw some residents having a meal somewhere in the garden, which I thought was interesting. The place was very quiet because many of the people were going on a field trip. They offered us a meal, and we had fish with vegetables, which was very tasty.

I visited this facilityReview of The Carriages of Marietta

We went to this facility. It was nice, a little bit isolated, and in an almost rural area, but it had good facilities. Some of the rooms were 2-bedrooms, and that was nice. I liked it. It has beautiful outdoor areas where you can sit out in good weather, and I was impressed with the manager, she took me through, and showed me everything.

I visited this facilityReview of Charter Senior Living of Vinings

I was very impressed because it's a fairly new facility. It was very clean, very modern, and the people were very nice. I was just disappointed because all they have are apartments with one bedroom, and all the ones I looked at were small, but they've got enough room that you could certainly do OK there. The staff was great and invited us over for lunch. The location was perfect for us. I was just impressed with everything about it, the way it looked, and the people I met there.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Cobb County

Medicaid in Georgia

Medicaid is a national program that provides low-income seniors, adults with disabilities and children with government-funded health insurance. Federal law dictates that every Medicaid plan must provide coverage for certain benefits, including:

Doctor visits
Emergency, outpatient and inpatient hospital services
X-rays and medical lab services
Nursing home care
Transportation to medical care

Additional state-specific Medicaid benefits, such as case management, personal care, vision and dental care, and rehab services, may be available through waivers.

To be eligible for no-cost Medicaid in Georgia, seniors must:

Be aged 65 or older
Be permanent Georgia residents
Have U.S. citizenship or hold valid immigration status
Have a valid Social Security number
Have monthly earnings of $2,313 or less (individual), or
Have monthly earnings of $4,626 or less (per couple applying together)
Own $2,000 or less in countable assets, or
Own $3,000 or less in joint countable assets (per couple applying together)

Some assets are excluded from the Medicaid limits. These include personal effects, household furnishings, one vehicle and a house, mobile home or condo assessed at $585,000 or less and owned and occupied by the applicant and/or their spouse.

Spousal Income and Asset Limits

Special income and asset rules apply to married couples when only one spouse needs Medicaid coverage.

The community spouse can keep up to 50% of the couple’s joint assets up to a maximum value of $126,420. The community spouse can also receive up to $3,160.50 per month of income transferred from the applicant if the community spouse is financially dependent on the applicant.

To apply for Georgia Medicaid, seniors can complete an online application through the Georgia Gateway or phone the Medicaid hotline at (877) 423-4746.

Medicaid Waivers

Georgia has two Medicaid waiver programs that are open to seniors who reside in assisted living facilities, the Community Care Services Program and Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment. To qualify for either waiver, seniors must be aged 65 or older, have Medicaid coverage and meet the clinical criteria for nursing home placement.

Services provided by each waiver are assigned based on medical need and may include:

Adult day health care
Personal care
Skilled nursing
Medical equipment
Medical supplies
Home delivered meals
Case management
Housekeeping
Transportation

Seniors may only enroll in one of these two waivers.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Elderlife Financial Bridge Loan

Elderlife Financial offers an assisted living bridge loan designed to provide seniors with short-term financing to cover care costs. This loan is structured as an open line of credit, and interest is charged only on the funds used by the borrowers.

A bridge loan may be a good option for seniors who:

Are selling their home to transition into an assisted living setting

Are waiting for VA Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits

Need to pay up-front assisted living move-in fees and would like to spread those costs out over 12 months

Are waiting for private insurance to begin paying assisted living costs

Need time to liquidate assets, such as stocks, bonds or real estate to raise the funds they need for care costs

To qualify, applicants must have a good credit rating as the loan is unsecured. Applications can be processed over the phone, and up to six people can be listed on the loan to disperse care costs among family members. In most cases applicants receive a response within 24 hours, and if approved, money from the loan can be sent directly to the assisted living provider.

For more information call Elderlife Financial at (888) 228-4500.

Optional State Supplementation

The Optional State Supplementation program helps low-income seniors pay for the room-and-board portion of their assisted living costs. Eligible seniors may receive up to $20 per month, and couples may receive up to $40 per month.

To qualify for the OSS, seniors must be aged 65 or older, on Supplemental Security Income benefits, and reside in a Medicaid-approved assisted living facility.

For more information, call the Social Security Administration at (800) 772-1213.
