Is the Elderly Disabled Waiver Program right for me?
The Elderly Disabled Waiver Program assists Georgians who prefer to live in the community rather than enter a long-term care facility. Some people need assistance to remain independent in their own homes but do not need the 24-hour supervision and care provided in a nursing facility. That is why the Elderly Disabled Waiver Programs were developed – to give Georgians a greater choice in deciding where to live and what assistance they need.
A team assessment of your health needs and present condition will be made by a nurse and a physician. A care plan will be recommended to you and your family. If you choose to participate in the Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program, a care coordinator will arrange for services and evaluate your condition frequently. If your needs changes, appropriate changes in services will be made. If needed, we can assist with the Medicaid application process.

To be eligible for participation in the Elderly Disabled Waiver Program, a person must:

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I obtain case management services through On My Watch?
Please call us at 1 (800) 689 – 5123 and let us know that you are interested in obtaining services. We will walk you through the referral process over the phone.
Is there a cost for services?
The Elderly and Disabled Waiver is a Medicaid-based program, but some consumers do have a cost-share. A care Coordinator will review your financial situation and advise you of any out-of-pocket cost during the initial screening process.
I don’t have Medicaid, what do I do?
Don’t worry! Our team of Care Coordinators can assist you with the Medicaid application process. Just give us a call and we will be glad to help.
How long does it take to begin receiving services?
Unfortunately there is no ‘one size fits all’ answer for that, but our referral specialists will work with local DFCS offices to make sure that you don’t have to wait any longer than necessary to receive services!
Why do I need to provide bank documents or other personal documents?
Since this is a service funded by Medicaid, there are income and asset limits for participants. This paperwork is collected by our team of specialists to make sure that you qualify for the waiver service.
