Many use “nursing home” as a broad term to refer to senior care, but there are some key differences to be mindful of to choose the most appropriate option. Nursing homes, as defined by the Georgia Department of Community Health, are facilities that provide services that include round-the-clock medical supervision, rehabilitative therapies, and skilled nursing care to patients admitted on a referral-only basis. In most cases, patients are transferred to these facilities after hospitalization or a serious health decline. Seniors that don’t need a nursing home level of care may find assisted living or memory care better suited for their needs.
A Place for Mom partners with 32 senior care facilities within 10 miles of downtown Atlanta that offer assisted living and memory care. A number of these communities also offer on-site skilled nursing care, and around 65% have access to an on-site physician.

The costs of senior living in Atlanta can fluctuate depending on the level of care offered, the location, and the floor plan selection. Due to the costs to provide medical support and round-the-clock supervision, the most expensive senior care facilities are usually skilled nursing homes. In 2022, Atlanta nursing homes, or skilled nursing facilities, cost an average of $8,593 per month for a private room and $7,528 a month for a semi-private room, according to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey.[03]
You’ll find other types of senior living may be more cost-friendly, if a senior doesn’t need the continuous medical care and supervision provided in a skilled nursing facility. A stay in an Atlanta assisted living facility is significantly less expensive than a skilled nursing facility with an average rate of $3,969 per month in 2022, according to our proprietary data.[02] This amount increases slightly for a memory care facility, with an average cost of around $4,144 per month in 2022.[02]
As with the nursing home costs above, the prices of Atlanta assisted living and memory care facilities can be different depending on whether you live in a one-bedroom or semi-private unit. Below, you’ll find the specific costs for both options at these communities in the Atlanta metro. You’ll notice these prices are for the starting costs, which means they don’t include amounts related to care services or any add-on amenities and fees.

There are various means available to pay for senior care in Atlanta. Families often utilize a mix of private and public sources, depending on the type and amount of care needed. You’ll find some sources of public funding have specific limits when paying for specific types of senior care facilities. We highlight several private and public funding options below and lay out what specific costs may be covered.
Many families will start by looking into what private sources of funding can be used to pay for a senior care facility. These sources often come in the form of savings accounts, investment returns, and sources of retirement income.
Georgia’s tax-friendly policies for seniors may be able to help some of these private funds go even further. Social security benefits aren’t taxed in the Peach State, and senior residents age 65+ can take a tax deduction of $65,000 for income accumulated from pensions and retirement accounts.[04]
For some, private funds may be able to fully cover the cost of a senior care facility, depending on a person’s financial situation and the level of care needed. If you feel these funds may fall short in the long run, consider one of the following options below:
In Atlanta, nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities are licensed and regulated by the Healthcare Facility Regulation Division (also known as HFRD), which is a branch of the Georgia Department of Community Health. HFRD is responsible for overseeing and enforcing state and federal regulations at different types of senior care facilities in Georgia.
HFRD also conducts routine nursing home inspections and may conduct them more often to investigate complaints or follow up on any previous violations found. Below, you’ll find a summarized version of some of Georgia’s regulations specific to nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities.
Georgia assisted living and memory care facilities are also inspected, licensed, and regulated by HFRD. However, there are some differences in the regulations for these types of facilities versus nursing homes. Specifically, regarding matters such as admission requirements, medication administration, and the care provided. These distinctions may be worth noting if you or a loved one are considering a move into an assisted living facility.
You can access all of HFRD’s laws and regulations for nursing homes, assisted living, and other health care facilities on the Georgia Department of Community Health website.

There aren’t any statewide COVID-19 mandates in place for Atlanta nursing homes or senior care facilities, as of January 2023. However, all Georgia nursing homes are required to have infection control practices within the facility. These are outlined in the Georgia Department of Community Health Rules and Regulations for Nursing Homes.
You can find more information about COVID-19 protocols for nursing homes and other long-term care facilities in Georgia on the Department of Public Health’s website. The Fulton County Board of Health Office of Epidemiology is another excellent source for local COVID-19 guidance. Both entities regularly publish COVID-19 status reports on their websites, and you’ll also find information about local testing and vaccine resources.

The Georgia Department of Public Health (or DPH) offers COVID-19 resources for nursing homes based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). While there currently aren’t any regulations set in stone, many Atlanta nursing homes and senior care facilities continue to follow these practices:
Vaccinations. Nursing homes must educate residents and staff about vaccines and offer vaccine administration, but vaccines aren’t required unless a facility has to follow federal mandates to receive federal funding.
Masking. Residents and visitors may choose to wear face coverings while in their rooms, but facilities may require them to be worn in communal settings.
Facility cleanliness. Facilities should frequently disinfect high-touch surfaces and encourage hand hygiene practices.
Testing. Routine screening of staff, residents, and visitors may be performed at a facility’s discretion.
While the vaccines are available to Atlanta nursing home staff and residents, many facilities are still taking precautions to limit the risk and spread of COVID-19. It’s never a bad idea to check directly with a nursing home about their current infection control practices before visiting.

Atlanta is chock-full of senior living options, with care types ranging from assisted living and memory care to skilled nursing. These communities can differ on several levels, with a key one being the type of care offered on-site.
Some Atlanta assisted living facilities may exclusively offer assisted living services, while others may also offer more extensive care services, such as memory care and on-site skilled nursing. You can find a brief description of what to expect from each type of senior care in Atlanta below.
In Georgia, a nursing home is considered a facility that provides skilled nursing services. Patients in a skilled nursing facility have complete access to comprehensive medical services and licensed health professionals around the clock.
A stay in a skilled nursing facility is usually a temporary living option to recover from hospitalization or to receive treatment. Most patients will either return to their homes or move into a different type of senior care setting — like one of the varieties listed below — if it’s no longer safe for them to live by themselves.
Assisted living communities in Atlanta may be an optimal care option for seniors who don’t need the round-the-clock medical care services provided at a skilled nursing facility. Assisted living communities can provide help with everyday tasks and meals, as well as personal laundry and housekeeping services. These communities can range from luxe high-rise buildings to homelike residential facilities.
Some facilities have resort-inspired amenities like swimming pools and putting greens. All assisted living facilities should have indoor and outdoor common areas for activities and exercise. And assisted living communities always provide some sort of leisurely activities, like gardening and cooking clubs. Some communities even organize off-site trips for residents to stay close to the local community happenings.
Just about half of our in-network, partner assisted living facilities are designed to accommodate residents with Alzheimer’s or other dementias, but some communities may solely offer memory care. Memory care centers are specifically designed with enhanced safety features, such as enclosed courtyards, wander prevention systems, and secured entrances.
Staff members who work directly with residents in memory care are required to receive annual specialized training in memory care in addition to a facility’s general caregiver training requirements. Additionally, memory care centers in Georgia are required to provide therapeutic activities that encourage sensory enhancement, the use of motor skills, and socialization.

Outstanding health care is one of Atlanta’s most attractive attributes for seniors and families. The city is home to some of the best hospitals in the country, nationally recognized in specialties that include cancer and neurology. We highlight some of the top hospitals in the Atlanta metro below.
Piedmont Atlanta is located in Buckhead and has received national recognition for its brain tumor center, its heart and vascular health services, and its comprehensive cancer care. Piedmont Atlanta offers 24-hour emergency care, as well as primary care and all major medical services. This nonprofit hospital ranks as the No. 4 hospital in both Atlanta and the state of Georgia.[06]
Northside Hospital is made up of five campuses, and its Atlanta location is ranked as the No. 3 hospital in Atlanta and Georgia.[06] Northside’s Cancer Institute offers the most advanced radiation therapy units in Georgia, and it’s among the largest community cancer networks in the country. Northside Hospital Atlanta is anticipated to add an innovative radiation therapy system for cancer patients in February 2023, which will be the first of its kind offered in Georgia.
Emory St. Joseph’s Hospital (ESJH) is ranked as the No. 2 hospital in both Atlanta and the rest of Georgia.[06] It’s Georgia’s only NCI-Designated Cancer Center and one of the Southeast’s leading cancer referral centers. ESJH participates in over 60 clinical trials for several forms of cancer, as well as national cancer prevention studies for high-risk patients. ESJH has received six Magnet recognitions from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) as of January 2023, which is the most prominent award for nursing professionalism.
Emory University Hospital is the No. 1 hospital in Atlanta and all of Georgia. It is among the country’s leading hospitals in cancer and neurology, as well as cardiology and heart surgery.[06] Emory University Hospital is a teaching hospital staffed by Emory University School of Medicine faculty members. This acclaimed hospital has received two Magnet recognitions from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), as of January 2023.
More than 75% of our partner Atlanta senior care facilities provide complimentary transportation services. This service is particularly advantageous to residents in assisted living or memory care who might not have access to certain health services in the community and need help getting to appointments.
While public transportation can seem daunting to some seniors, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (also known as MARTA) strives to make it accessible for residents of all ages and abilities with its Travel Training Program. This program teaches seniors and people with disabilities how to use MARTA’s transit safely and independently. Additionally, MARTA also offers discounted fare cards for seniors and Medicare cardholders.
Another safe and reliable way for seniors to navigate around Atlanta is on-demand ride services through Uber Health and the Health Force of Georgia. This service is available to senior Health Force of Georgia clients, and it aims to provide convenient and affordable transportation to any type of activity. Rides are arranged and paid for by the Health Force of Georgia, and the bill is conveniently sent to clients every week.
You can access even more Atlanta senior transportation services near you by contacting Empowerline, which is part of Georgia’s Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) network. They have trained counselors available to point you to nearby resources, as well as an online search tool you can access below this section to locate senior services near you.

Many Atlanta nursing homes offer engaging on-site activities, ranging from art classes, gardening clubs, and happy hours to birthday parties. Nearly 60% of our Atlanta-partner senior living communities also coordinate day trips and off-site excursions.[02]}
Visiting families will find Atlanta has several attractions that are age-friendly and wheelchair accessible, which include the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coca-Cola, and Zoo Atlanta. Additionally, the College Football Hall of Fame provides closed captioning at all of its exhibits and offers visual and hearing accommodations upon request.
The ATL’s food scene is unrivaled, with an assortment of casual and high-end restaurants at every corner. The city’s exceptionally flavorful dining selection isn’t limited to traditional Southern fare. You’ll find a wealth of international cuisine along Buford Highway and legendary Atlanta staples available throughout the city’s eccentric neighborhoods.
Atlanta has some of the best access to shopping, with its premier retail districts. Whether you’re antiquing in Bennett Street District, spending a day at Ponce City Market, or indulging in Buckhead Village’s high-end designers and posh boutiques, you’re bound to find everything you need — and maybe a couple of things you don’t necessarily need — in Atlanta’s shopping scene.
Atlanta’s flourishing parks and green spaces are second to none for those who enjoy the outdoors. Atlanta is among the most tree-dense cities in the country with a nearly 50% urban canopy coverage, and it’s frequently referred to as “The City in a Forest.”[09]
After enjoying the city’s lush foliage, immerse yourself in Atlanta’s arts and culture scene by exploring Midtown’s art district. There, you can find never ending entertainment options: catch live performances at Fox Theatre, watch the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, or take the grandkids to the Center for Puppetry Arts.
