# Georgia Medicaid Home Care: EDWP, CCSP and SOURCE

Last updated 2026-10-20

**Quick answer:** Georgia's main Medicaid home care program for older adults is the Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP). It's delivered through two models: CCSP and SOURCE.

Georgia's principal route into home-based long-term care for older adults is the Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program, a federal Section 1915(c) Home and Community-Based Services waiver delivered through two separate service models: SOURCE and CCSP (Georgia waiver programs).

SOURCE stands for Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment, and its defining feature is that it links each enrollee to a primary-care physician who helps coordinate the home- and community-based services they receive (Georgia.gov SOURCE application page).

One important catch: SOURCE isn't available everywhere in the state. It only operates in counties where a SOURCE-enrolled provider actually exists, so a family can't assume access just because they qualify on paper (Georgia.gov SOURCE application page; DCH HCBS guide).

## Questions and answers

The Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program is a federal Section 1915(c) home- and community-based services waiver. It's delivered through two models, CCSP and SOURCE.

SOURCE (Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment) links each enrollee to a primary care doctor who helps coordinate their home- and community-based services.

No. It only operates in counties with a SOURCE-enrolled provider, so qualifying doesn't guarantee access.
