Services List: Community Care Services Program

The Community Care Services Program (CCSP) is a state Medicaid program administered through the Division of Aging and the Coastal Georgia Area Agency on Aging. CCSP helps people who are elderly and/or functionally impaired to continue living in their homes and communities. CCSP offers community-based care as an alternative to nursing home placement. Comprehensive Care Coordination for Coastal Georgia is managed by the Coastal Health District.

CCSP offers community-based services to those people who are:
- Appropriate for a Nursing Home Level of Care
- Eligible or potentially eligible for Medicaid
- In need of services provided by the CCSP, and who have physical limitations which restrict his or her ability to perform normal activities and live independently
- Able to live safely in the community with the CCSP services

Services may include:
- Home Health Services such as nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and medical social services to individuals who meet homebound criteria.
- Personal Support Services provides assistance with light housekeeping, meal preparation, shopping, personal care, and in-home respite care.
- Emergency Response is a system that enables a client to summon help for family, friends, or emergency medical service.
- Home Delivered Meals are delivered to the home Monday through Friday, with frozen meals available for weekends.
- Adult Day Health clients are transported to and from the ADH center where daytime activities, therapeutic services and meals are offered in a group/social setting.
- Alternative Living Services provides a residence other than a nursing home for those clients unable to remain in their own homes.

There is no fee for those individuals who receive Supplemental Security Income. There may be a fee for those individuals who qualify for Medical Assistance Only Medicaid.
