Community Care Services Program (CCSP)

Home and community-based care so you can stay out of a nursing home

The Community Care Services Program (CCSP) is a Georgia Medicaid waiver that provides home and community-based services to older adults and people with physical disabilities who would otherwise need nursing-home care but want to stay in their own home.

CCSP helps your family member keep their independence and quality of life — with a case manager who coordinates a personalized plan of care.
