CCSP (Community Care Services Program) & SOURCE Programs

What Are the CCSP & SOURCE Programs?

The Community Care Services Program (CCSP) and SOURCE are Georgia Medicaid waiver programs that provide Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) for eligible elderly and disabled residents. These programs help individuals receive the care and support they need in their homes and communities as an alternative to nursing home placement.

CSP & SOURCE Programs: When to Consider

When might a person consider learning more about CCSP or SOURCE? These programs may be worth exploring when an elderly or disabled individual needs ongoing assistance at home and may otherwise require a higher level of care from a CCSP home care services provider in Georgia. They can also be relevant when everyday activities have become difficult and additional support could help the individual remain safely in a familiar environment.

Families may begin considering these programs when a loved one needs help with personal care, household routines, meals, mobility, or other daily activities. They may also be appropriate to explore when a family caregiver needs respite or when the individual’s current support system is no longer enough to meet their needs. If remaining at home is an important goal, understanding available home and community-based options can help families make more informed care decisions. CCSP and SOURCE are designed to support eligible individuals in community settings while addressing needs identified in their approved care plans.
