SOURCE (Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment)

Coordinated medical and in-home care for chronic conditions

SOURCE is a Georgia Medicaid waiver that combines primary medical care with long-term, in-home support — for older adults and adults with disabilities who have chronic conditions and would otherwise need nursing-home care.

What makes SOURCE different is the tight coordination: a care coordinator works with your primary care doctor and service agencies to manage your health, prevent hospital stays, and keep you safely at home.
