Directory for
Senior Adults in the Atlanta Region
The Atlanta region’s 10 counties are home to a third of all Georgians age 60 and older and
this population is growing. Today, one person in 10 is over age 60 and it is projected that
by 2030, one person in five will be over 60. This Resource Directory for Senior Adults and
Individuals with Disabilities in the Atlanta Region provides information to help individuals and
their caregivers identify opportunities and services aimed at enriching and supporting a long
and healthy lifestyle for our region’s expanding population. It also includes a listing of services
to help individuals that are frail remain in the community and maintain their independence
as long as possible.
As the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) and the Aging & Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) for
the 10-county Atlanta region, the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) is responsible for planning, developing, implementing and coordinating the delivery of services through a network
of locally based agencies and service providers. ARC serves senior adults, individuals with
disabilities, family members, caregivers, friends, professionals and the community at large.
AAAs were established under the Older Americans Act in 1973 to respond to the needs of adults
aged 60 and over and that charge has grown over the years, most notably with the creation
of ADRCs which were created to allow people of all ages, incomes and disabilities to go to
one location to get information and one-on-one counseling on the full range of long term care
supports and solutions. AAAs/ADRCs are part of a comprehensive, nationwide information and
referral/assessment system that responds to the aging, disabilities and long term care needs
of individuals throughout the country.
The Atlanta Regional Commission AAA/ADRC coordinates and maintains the ESP statewide
database containing more than 26,000 services and programs. Many of the resources listed
in this publication are from the ESP database. Information and Referral Specialists and others
throughout the state use ESP to find services for Georgia’s residents. The database provides
detailed information, customized for each service category, including hours of operation,
eligibility, cost, and services or programs offered by agencies and fee for service companies
in the community. For more information about ESP, call (404) 463-3232.
This directory is a tool to help connect you to local services and activities. Services offered may
be subsidized by government, provided for a fee, covered through insurance or offered at no
cost to the user. For additional detailed information on resources, contact the Atlanta Regional
Commission’s Aging & Disability Resource Connection. ARC’s trained and certified Information
and Referral Specialists can consult with you, help you assess your needs and provide you
contact information for appropriate resources. There is no charge for this Information and
Referral service.

A special thank you goes out to the Information and Referral Specialists from the county-based
aging programs for their input in the creation of this directory.

County-Based Aging Programs and
Frequently Called Numbers
ARC contracts with an agency in each of the region’s 10 counties to manage and coordinate
the delivery of services to older adults and other eligible individuals in that county. With the
exception of Fayette Senior Services, each of these county-based agencies is a unit of the
local government. Funding for the services the county-based agencies provide or manage
includes federal funds through the Older Americans Act, other state and federal funding, county
appropriations, donations and contributions.
Cherokee County Senior Services
Cherokee County Senior Services (CCSS), a unit of Cherokee County government, manages and
coordinates the delivery of services to senior adults and other eligible individuals in Cherokee
County. The agency provides information and assistance, care management, homemaker or
respite services, a senior center and three satellite centers (Waleska, Ball Ground and Bells
Ferry) that provide both meals and opportunities for recreation, education and socialization.
Additional services include transportation and volunteer opportunities. Cherokee County
Volunteer Aging Council, a 501C(3) organization, works in cooperation with CCSS, providing
supplemental funding for emergency financial assistance, a chore program, a fan drive and a
ramp/home modification program for persons with mobility challenges. Funding sources helping to support this array of services include the Older Americans Act, other state and federal
funding, Cherokee County government, donations and contributions.

Medicaid Waiver Programs
Medicaid waiver programs allow states to provide services to people who are elderly or
disabled and need help to live in their home or the community instead of an institution such as
a nursing home. Below are brief descriptions of several Medicaid Waiver programs in Georgia:
Community Care Services Program (CCSP)
The Community Care Services Program (CCSP) helps Medicaid eligible individuals of any age
who are functionally impaired and meet a nursing home intermediate level of care to continue
living in their homes and communities. CCSP offers community based care such as adult day
health, personal support, skilled nursing and placement in an alternative living arrangement
(licensed personal care home) as an alternative to nursing home placement.
To obtain more information and determine potential eligibility, contact........... (404) 463-3333
SOURCE
The SOURCE Program (Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment), serves
persons who meet program financial criteria, have a chronic health condition and meet an
intermediate nursing home level of care. Clients must reside in the SOURCE site’s designated
service area, and must, with assistance, be capable of safely residing in the community. The
Program is an alternative to nursing home placement and provides comprehensive preventative medical care with in-home support services, including adult day health, emergency
response units, home delivered meals, personal support services, and alternative living
services (24 hour care in a personal care home). Enrollment in the program is open to eligible
Individuals of any age. Participants must be willing to use a SOURCE physician as the primary
care physician. There are currently four case management agencies that arrange and coordinate services in the Atlanta area.
Independent Care Waiver Program (ICWP)
The Independent Care Waiver program provides in-home support to individuals between
the ages of 21 to 64 who are either physically disabled or have traumatic brain injury
with limitation(s) in one or more Activities of Daily Living and are currently at risk of institutionalization. Services under the program are determined on an individual basis depending on
the disability. Services may include personal support, environment modification, personalized
equipment and supplies and vehicle adaptation. To obtain more information and determine
potential eligibility, contact (404) 982-0411.
The NOW Waiver
The COMP Waiver
The Comprehensive Supports Waiver (COMP Waiver) is funded through Medicaid and is
designed for individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability who need a full range
of out-of-home services or intensive in-home services.
The COMP Waiver is also used for people who are transitioning out of institutions into community living. Services include, but are not limited to, Community Residential Alternative Services,
various therapies, behavioral supports and community access.
Aging & Disability Resource Connection (ADRC)
The Atlanta Regional Commission, Area Agency on Aging, operates an Aging & Disability
Resource Connection where caregivers, family members and individuals with disabilities of
all types can learn about available publicly funded and private fee for service programs. For
more information, contact:
Atlanta Regional Commission, Area Agency on Aging (Atlanta)........................ (404) 463-3333
The New Options Waiver (NOW) Program, funded under Medicaid, provides home and community-based services for persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities. A diagnosis
of developmental disability includes conditions such as cerebral palsy, developmental delay,
epilepsy, autism or some neurological issues. The NOW program enables individuals with
less intense and urgent needs to live independently in the community. Services may include
support coordination, day programs, residential services, respite care and specialized medical
supplies and equipment.
