In Georgia, Medicaid is a very common source of funding for long-term care. Approximately 74% of nursing home residents in Georgia use Medicaid to pay for their nursing home care. Without Medicaid, long-term care like nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home health care is unaffordable for most people. In 2011, the average daily cost of a private room in a nursing home in Georgia was $179, or $65,000 per year.
Medicaid State Plans, in most but not all states, will pay for home care in the form of Personal Care Services (PCS) or Personal Attendant Services (PAS). Institutional Medicaid is provided in long term care institutions (nursing homes and intermediate care facilities) and therefore does not pay for home care.
