For those looking for a nursing home, you’ll find a bevy of options here. But first, we should discuss what a nursing home actually is. This term is often used as a catch-all for senior care.

Assisted living facilities give residents personal care, such as help getting dressed, walking down the hall, or using the restroom, while memory care facilities provide all of that plus specially trained staff who can help those with cognitive issues.
This guide is going to tell you everything you need to know about skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, and memory care facilities in Marietta, Georgia. You will learn about how to pay for senior care, state laws, and regulations, available health care and transportation, plus all of the wonderful attractions in downtown Marietta.

Marietta Medicaid for nursing homes
The Peach State Health Plan is Georgia’s Medicaid program for low-income individuals. It can help seniors cover some of the costs associated with skilled nursing, assisted living, or memory care living in Marietta. It should be noted that Medicaid will not cover custodial costs for assisted living or memory care, but it will cover custodial costs for skilled nursing homes. For assisted living and memory care, Medicaid can potentially help offset some of the costs of necessary in-home care through home and community based services (HCBS) waivers.
Applying for Medicaid is a long, complex process. You can check your eligibility and apply online or you can reach out for help. Call Empowerline to get connected to the resources that can help you, reach out to your ombudsman, or contact the Cobb County Department of Family and Child Services.

Medicare nursing home coverage in Marietta
Medicare is the federal health insurance program that can help Marietta seniors cover some of the costs related to medical care. Medicare will not pay for room and board at assisted living or memory care facilities, but it will cover skilled nursing facilities. However, it will only cover nursing homes for short-term needs; it doesn’t cover long-term care at a nursing home.
Seniors in Marietta who meet the criteria can also use Medicare Savings Programs to help them cover the costs of Medicare’s premiums or cover deductibles and copayments. Seniors can apply for Medicare online or by visiting the local Social Security Administration office.
To get help with the process, reach out to the State Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). SHIP counselors can help you review your options and answer your questions, and the service is free. You can also call Empowerline to connect with resources or contact your local ombudsman.

Understand Georgia laws and regulations for nursing homes
Nursing homes, assisted living communities, and memory care facilities are all considered to be long-term senior care facilities and are required to be licensed. In Marietta, these licenses are obtained through the Healthcare Facility Regulation Division (HFRD) of Georgia’s Department of Community Health.
To get a license, a skilled nursing, assisted living, or memory care facility must successfully complete an inspection by the Georgia Department of Community Health. These inspections cover the following:
- The process of care for residents, and its effectiveness
- Staff and resident interactions
- The overall environment of the skilled nursing, assisted living, or memory care facility
- Interviews with family members, caregivers, and staff
- A review of residents’ clinical records
The results of all inspections are made public. If you would like to see inspection results for a specific facility, you can do so by visiting HRFD’s Find a Facility website.
