There are currently several waiver programs in Georgia that enable a person
to receive home-based services. Because Federal and State money for
long-term health services for people with low incomes typically goes to
institutions like nursing homes, a person who needs help with personal
support and/or nursing care for daily living tasks must get a "waiver"
("exception") if he or she wants the care given at home. A person's
situation has to match the requirements of a particular waiver in order to
get that waiver's services.
