Paying for care in Duluth
Georgia's Medicaid waiver programs - CCSP, SOURCE and ICWP - can cover in-home care for people who qualify. Agate Home Care is an approved provider for all three, and we serve CareSource members. If you are not sure whether your parent qualifies, we will walk through it with you on the phone at no cost.
​
Many Duluth families start with private pay while a waiver application is pending, or use private pay for hours beyond what Medicaid approves. We can explain both and tell you honestly which makes sense for your situation. If you already have a waiver and are unhappy with your current agency, you can change providers without losing your hours or your eligibility.

When families call us
Most families reach out in one of three situations: a parent is managing at home but the gaps are widening, someone is coming home from a hospital or rehab stay and the first two weeks matter most, or a family caregiver is running out of road and needs respite.
