Our partner memory care facilities in Marietta run an average actual cost of $4,147 a month.[01] This includes any additional services or add-on fees and covers meals, housing, laundry, housekeeping, and assorted fees for pets or other additions.

Many families will wind up using private pay methods to pay for their loved one’s memory care stay in Marietta. Retirement savings, investments, inheritance, Social Security benefits, or any of the following resources may be used:
Marietta veterans might be able to use VA benefits to help offset the cost of living or the cost of necessary in-home medical care. The most prominent available benefit is the VA Aid and Attendance benefit. This could be especially useful for veterans who need memory care services as it is used to cover the costs of anything that helps elevate the quality of life for the veteran.
Many veterans may be able to use funds from their VA Pension to help cover the cost of memory care living or necessary in-home medical services. Those who were disabled as a result of their service in the military can look into the VA Disability Compensation to help cover some costs.
The application process for VA benefits can be complex. Because of this, it is recommended that veterans use one or some of the handful of resources available to them in Marietta. Seniors and their families requiring assistance with the application process can turn to veterans services officers for guidance. These knowledgeable professionals specialize in explaining benefits and providing support throughout the application process. Reach out to these trained experts directly through the VA office or by contacting veterans services organizations (VSOs) like the Veterans of Foreign Wars or American Legion.

Known in Georgia as the Peach State Health Plan, Medicaid is a statewide health care program for those with limited assets and low incomes. It can’t cover the cost of room and board at a memory care facility, but it might be able to help cover in-home health care that a doctor says is needed. These benefits are accessed through a waiver program called the home and community based services (HCBS) waivers. Specifically in Georgia, seniors might be able to apply for the Georgia Elderly and Disabled waiver.
The Georgia Gateway website is a convenient way to apply, and Medicaid eligibility can be found online as well. Applying for the Peach State Health Plan is complicated, so there are a handful of resources seniors and their families can access to help with the application process.
Most notably, if you are looking for help applying, seek out the Georgia Long-Term Care Ombudsman. This trained specialist has plenty of experience with the application process and can help you with not only the application but getting connected to benefits. Furthermore, seniors can find more information by reaching out to the Cobb County Division of Family and Child Services (Cobb County’s primary Medicaid office) or by calling Empowerline.

Memory care facilities are licensed as a specialized form of an assisted living community by the Georgia Department of Community Health’s Healthcare Facility Regulation Division (HFRD). This means they must adhere to all the same rules and regulations that govern assisted living communities, which cover everything from meal expectations and how care is provided to medication management and staff training.
In addition to those rules and regulations, additional requirements for memory care apply:
Many of the other additional requirements for memory care facilities have to do with staffing and staff training. All staff are required to undergo training within 60 days of hire to understand the nature of Alzheimer’s and dementia and how to best care for seniors with those issues. Each facility is also required to have enough specially trained staff members to cover the needs of all residents. The regulations specify the exact ratio of how many nurses, direct care staff members, and medication aides must be available based on the number of residents and the time of day.
Residents must also have a written care plan that outlines the resident’s social and medical needs, along with any additional services necessary to ensure their well-being. It will also incorporate doctor’s orders, including specific instructions for addressing individual behaviors. This comprehensive care plan aims to address all aspects of the resident’s requirements and provide them with the best possible care.
