Next Level Healthcare Agency Personal Care Services
Personal care for the elderly and medically frail involves providing non-medical assistance to help individuals maintain their dignity, comfort, and independence. These services typically include help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. Caregivers may also assist with mobility, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. For the medically frail, personal care often includes additional support to ensure safety and well-being, such as monitoring for changes in health or providing companionship to reduce isolation. This type of care is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, promoting a better quality of life while allowing them to remain in their preferred environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Medicaid Cover Personal Support Services?
Yes, Medicaid in Georgia does cover personal support services through programs like the Community Care Services Program (CCSP) and the Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP). These programs provide assistance with daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and light housekeeping, for eligible individuals who are elderly or disabled. To qualify, applicants must meet specific financial and medical criteria, including requiring a nursing home level of care but preferring to remain in their home or community setting. You can learn more about these programs and their eligibility requirements on the Georgia Medicaid website.
