10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Atlanta, GA

Answer a few questions to get personalized results
Who are you searching for?

Lovely weather, first-rate health care, and a diverse fusion of cultures are a few qualities that draw people to Atlanta, also called ATL. This bustling yet darling Southern city is also home to world-class memory care facilities for seniors with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. Memory care facilities provide a secure haven with specially trained staff and therapeutic activity programs for residents with cognitive impairments. A Place for Mom partners with 20 memory care facilities within a 10-mile radius of downtown Atlanta. Half of these communities are stand-alone memory care facilities, which means they exclusively accommodate residents with Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia.

We’ve fashioned this guide to help families throughout every stage of finding memory care for a loved one in Atlanta. Using proprietary data from our partnered Atlanta memory care communities, we highlight specific information about the costs, amenities, and types of services available in these communities. We also outline different ways to pay for memory care units in Atlanta, laws and regulations for memory care facilities in Georgia, and what you can expect to find from Atlanta memory care facilities.

Cost of memory care in the Atlanta area

The cost of memory care at our in-network Atlanta communities averages around $4,500 per month, according to A Place for Mom’s 2022 proprietary data.[01] This amount factors in the cost of room and boards, care costs, and potential fees for pets, parking, and medication administration.

Memory care facilities must provide additional resources, such as round-the-clock supervision, additional staff training, and additional security features. These extra services usually make memory care pricier than assisted or independent living and are typically included in the monthly rate.

When touring different memory care facilities, you may hear some communities start their pricing at a baseline cost. This is essentially a memory care facility’s starting cost before any extra fees or services are added in. You can take a look at the average starting cost of memory care facilities in Atlanta and surrounding areas below.

How people pay for memory care units in Atlanta, GA

Paying for memory care can seem like an impossible feat at first, but it’s attainable with planning. Part of this entails becoming familiar with what financial resources may be available, including both public and private sources of funding. Since many families utilize a combination of private and public payment methods, we highlight several examples of both types that may be able to help pay for memory care in Atlanta.

Private pay methods in Atlanta

The availability of private funds differs from family to family. In many cases, these payment methods come from personal savings, retirement income, and investment returns from stocks, bonds, etc. These can all be used to pay for an Atlanta memory care facility, and some families look to these resources before diving into public funding options like Medicare and Medicaid.

While those are among the most common forms of private pay methods, there may be additional assets you may be able to leverage as a means to pay for memory care. You can explore how to use these different types of assets below.

VA benefits for memory care in Atlanta

Federal benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) can provide some financial support for veterans and their families. Some benefits, like Aid and Attendance, provide supplemental monthly income that can be used to pay for long-term care costs of memory care. VA benefits can be a huge financial relief for veterans and families, but many often find the VA benefits system tricky.

Atlanta is chock-full of local Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs), which can help veterans and their families apply for and access benefits that can be put towards memory care costs. VSOs are an invaluable resource to make sure veterans don’t miss out on any benefits they may be eligible for. You can reach out to one of the VSOs located in the Atlanta Regional Office below.

Atlanta Medicaid for memory care

Georgia’s Medicaid program covers some services provided in a memory care facility in Atlanta, but it can’t be used for room and board expenses. Eligible seniors may qualify for a Medicaid waiver program, which helps provide an alternative to nursing home placement. You can learn more about Georgia’s Medicaid waivers that can be used for a memory care facility below.

Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment (SOURCE)

Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment (SOURCE) benefits seniors age 65+ who need a nursing home level of care but can receive services within their community setting or from home. A person must be eligible for Medicaid to qualify and meet the following criteria:[03]

  • They are age 65+.
  • They want to receive care services from a community or their home instead of a nursing home.
  • They have a physical impairment.

You can apply by contacting your local Area Agency on Aging, which can help you get started with an eligibility screening. If you’re approved, a SOURCE staff member will perform an assessment to become familiar with your loved one’s needs and develop an appropriate care plan. Before getting started, make sure you have proof of income, assets, and citizenship on hand.

Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program

Formally known as the Community Care Services Program (CCSP), the Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program also makes it possible for eligible seniors to receive services in a community setting rather than a nursing home. To qualify, seniors must meet the following requirements:[04]

  • Be at least age 65
  • Need a nursing home level of care

You can apply for this waiver program by contacting your local Area Agency on Aging. You’ll want to make sure you have the following available beforehand:[04]

  • Proof of citizenship
  • Verification of income and assets
  • A doctor’s support for nursing home care and creation of a care plan

It’s worth noting you can only participate in one Medicaid waiver program at once. Both SOURCE and the Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program provide services that include the following:

  • Home-delivered meals
  • Personal care services, such as activities of daily living
  • Care coordination and management
  • Home health services including speech, physical, and speech therapy

You’ll need to be enrolled in Medicaid to apply for any of the state’s Medicaid waiver programs. You can apply for Medicaid online using the Georgia Gateway website. In-person applications can also be completed at your local Division of Family and Children Services office.

Medicare memory care coverage in Atlanta

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for seniors age 65+ and people with disabilities that is aimed at helping with medical- and health-related costs specifically. Because of this, it doesn’t pay for the cost of living in a memory care community in Atlanta.

Any memory care costs related to custodial care, such as room and board or personal care support, aren’t considered Medicare-approved expenses. Some short-term health costs and preventative services that can be paid for by Medicare include the following:[05]

  • Vaccines
  • Hospice care
  • Skilled nursing care
  • Inpatient hospitalization
  • Durable medical equipment (DME)

Certain memory care-related costs and services may qualify for Medicare coverage for seniors with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. These include cognitive assessments, medications, and care planning support services for patients and caregivers.

There’s often a lot of confusion surrounding what is and isn’t covered by Medicare. The Georgia State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) has free Medicare counseling services to guide seniors through Medicare coverages, find a plan that fits their needs, and even identify financial assistance resources to lower out-of-pocket costs.

Understand Georgia laws and regulations for memory care facilities

In Georgia, stand-alone memory care facilities and assisted living communities with specialized memory-care units are licensed and regulated by the Georgia Department of Community Health’s Healthcare Facility Regulation Division (HFRD). The HFRD is also in charge of inspecting facilities. You can access inspection reports, license verifications, and facility listings on its website.

All facilities have to comply with the state’s rules and regulations for assisted living communities, which include the following:

  • Providing medication administration or supervision
  • Serving nutritiously acceptable meals
  • Planning daily social activities

Atlanta assisted living facilities with specialized memory care units must meet a few extra requirements on matters such as community design, admission requirements, and staff training. You can browse through some of the criteria in place for Atlanta memory care facilities below.

Pre-admission requirements

Assisted living communities in Georgia can’t admit residents who require skilled nursing care, are bedridden, or have care needs that can’t be met at the facility. Additionally, prospective residents must meet special requirements to be admitted to a memory care center, which includes completing a physical examination within 30 days of admission. This report must be able to confirm the following:[06]

  • The resident has a confirmed or likely diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia.
  • The resident doesn’t need round-the-clock nursing care.
  • The resident has symptoms that warrant the need for memory care placement.

Post-admission and care plan

Memory care centers must conduct an assessment of residents after admission to determine their care needs. The post-admission assessment should identify elements such as the following:[06]

  • Physical care needs
  • Amount of familial support
  • Level of behavioral impairment
  • Functional levels and ability to perform activities of daily living

All residents in a memory care center should receive a direct care plan that’s reviewed and signed by all participating direct care staff. Residents’ families are also encouraged to participate in developing a care plan, when possible, to factor in personal and family history. These care plans should be reassessed quarterly and updated as needed to reflect any changes in a resident’s needs.

Enhanced security measures

Certain safety measures need to be met in a building’s physical design to make sure memory care residents can safely live within a community. Memory care facilities must provide multipurpose common spaces for dining and group activities, as well as the following:[06]

  • Adequate lighting that reduces shadows and glares
  • Secured, wheelchair-accessible outdoor spaces and walkways
  • High-contrast design elements that distinguish walls from doorways and floors
  • An automated alert system to notify staff of any unauthorized entrance or exit
  • Personalized entrances that help residents recognize and identify their personal living space
  • A communication system that helps staff directly connect to each other and to emergency personnel services

Specialized activities

Just as assisted living communities are required to provide residents with social activities, memory care centers must provide activities that promote the following:[06]

  • Socialization, which can include games and trivia
  • Gross motor skills, such as exercising, gardening, and cooking
  • Sensory enhancement, which includes reminiscence programs and light therapy
  • Self-care and personal hygiene

Staffing

Memory care centers must be properly staffed to make sure the unique needs of each resident can be met. At a minimum, the following requirements must be provided by memory care centers:[06]

  • Two on-site direct care staff must be available at all times.
  • An on-site registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, or qualified medication aide must be available at all times.
  • There should be one dementia-trained direct care staff per 12 residents during awake hours, and one on-site for every 15 residents during non-awake hours.
  • A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse should be on-site or available in the building from 8 to 40 hours per week, depending on the number of residents in a memory care center.

Staff training

All memory care center staff should receive initial and annual training. Memory care centers are required to preserve all documentation for all training sessions that details the course content, attendance rosters, and instructor qualifications.

All direct care staff in an assisted living facility must receive an initial orientation within the first 30 days that goes over matters such as general infection control practices, emergency preparedness, and recognizing physical or cognitive changes in residents.

All direct care staff who work in a memory care center, regardless of their role, must complete 4 hours of dementia-specific orientation within their first 30 days of employment. This orientation specifically covers the following topics:[06]

  • How to recognize and reduce safety risks for residents
  • General information about Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia
  • Techniques to diminish challenging dementia-related behaviors from residents
  • Ways to effectively communicate with residents with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia

Additionally, memory care staff must complete an annual 8 hours of dementia-specific training, as well as 16 hours of specialized training that include subjects such as those listed below:[06]

  • Common dementia-related behavior problems
  • Effective interventions and therapeutic activities
  • A family’s role in caring for residents with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia
  • The memory care community’s philosophy, policies, and procedures for providing care to residents with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia

Why do licensure and inspection reports matter to families?

State regulations — and a community’s track record with inspections and licensing — offer important insights into safety and quality of care in senior living communities.

Download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports to learn what to look for in inspection reports and what questions to ask when touring communities. This resource explains how to use state licensure and inspection information to evaluate a community’s compliance, care standards, and responsiveness to issues.

COVID-19 regulations for Atlanta memory care facilities

Georgia doesn’t currently have COVID-19 regulations in place for memory care communities, but facilities will likely have their own policies in place to protect staff and residents. You can find general guidance for long-term care facilities on the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) website, but it’s always a good idea to check with an Atlanta memory care facility directly before visiting.

Atlanta has lifted most of its emergency COVID-19 restrictions, but city officials encourage residents to continue following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the following:

Single icon image

Vaccinations. Everyone should stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, especially people who are immunocompromised.

Single icon image

Quarantining. People should self-isolate for at least five days if they test positive for COVID-19 and follow the CDC guidelines on when to end isolation.

Single icon image

CDC guidelines. The CDC recommends getting tested if you have symptoms, were exposed to COVID-19, or will be in contact with someone at risk of getting very sick.

Single icon image

Masking. People should consider wearing a mask when visiting people with a higher risk for severe illness, and some communities may require them in public indoor spaces.
