What Is the SOURCE Medicaid Waiver Program in Georgia?
The Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment (SOURCE) program is part of Georgia’s Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP).
SOURCE helps eligible older adults and individuals with disabilities receive coordinated services in their homes or communities instead of entering a nursing facility.
For many families, SOURCE offers an opportunity for a loved one to receive assistance with daily living while remaining in familiar surroundings.
Depending on eligibility and the approved care plan, SOURCE services may include personal care assistance, adult day services, home-delivered meals, respite care, and other community-based support.
At Serenity Care & Compassion, our focus is providing compassionate in-home assistance that supports each client’s dignity, safety, comfort, and independence.
How SOURCE Helps Georgia Families
SOURCE is designed to help eligible individuals:
- Receive assistance with daily living activities.
- Remain in their homes or communities when appropriate.
- Access coordinated services based on assessed needs.
- Maintain greater independence.
- Receive support that may reduce the need for nursing facility placement.
- Obtain additional assistance for family caregiving responsibilities.
