Launching or growing a care agency in Georgia should not feel like decoding a rulebook. CarePolicy builds state-aligned documents and step-by-step guidance so you can open your doors, pass surveys, and serve your community with confidence. Our Georgia Provider Policies, Procedures & Collections are mapped to the rules your surveyors use, and our Georgia Care Provider Licensing Consultations walk you through applications, background checks, and Medicaid steps. Whether you operate home health, hospice, private home care, assisted living, adult day, behavioral health, or residential services, you get practical templates plus real-world coaching tailored to Georgia’s regulators and payers. 

Georgia Licensing Overview

In Georgia, the Department of Community Health’s Healthcare Facility Regulation division licenses and inspects facilities like home health agencies, hospices, assisted living communities, personal care homes, adult day centers, nursing homes, ambulatory surgical centers, and more. Core steps typically include submitting the correct HFR application packet with fees, undergoing pre-licensure or certification surveys, completing fingerprint background checks through GCHEXS, and preparing policies that match state rules. Many providers also enroll with Georgia Medicaid or a Care Management Organization under Georgia Families after licensure. Our Georgia Care Provider Licensing Consultations simplify each step and align your documents to the exact chapter of the rule that applies.

Georgia State Specific FAQs

1) Who licenses my agency, and what survey should I expect?

Most facility types are licensed by DCH’s Healthcare Facility Regulation. After submitting the correct packet and fees, you will complete a pre-licensure or certification survey against the rule chapter for your setting, for example, 111-8-31 for home health or 111-8-37 for hospice. 

2) What background checks do I need for staff?

Long-term care and other designated providers must use Georgia’s GCHEXS system for fingerprint-based checks. Employers submit through GCHEXS, and applicants use the ABC portal. We include GCHEXS-ready hiring policies and step checklists. 

3) Are adult day services licensed in Georgia, and what do surveyors look for?

Yes. Adult Day Centers are licensed under Chapter 111-8-1. Surveys review governance, staffing, participant rights, records, transportation, nutrition, medication practices, and physical plant safety. Our kit maps each policy to the rule sections inspectors cite. 

4) How does Medicaid managed care affect my startup timeline?

Many providers seek Georgia Medicaid enrollment after licensure and then credential with the CMOs participating in Georgia Families. DCH shows active CMOs and enrollment volumes, which helps plan your payer mix and ramp. We provide payer-ready policies and enrollment checklists. 

5) What market and workforce trends should I plan for in Georgia?

Home health and personal care aides are among the fastest-growing roles nationally and appear on Georgia’s fast-growth lists, signaling ongoing recruitment pressure. Build staffing pipelines and supervision policies early. We include orientation, competency, and retention tools.

I am working with a team therefore it took a little time to get the documents together. Also, my laptop went down on me so I was not uploading to the Google document drive correctly. Anton, who has been helping me has been great with making it work even though I was not equipped to put everything in place like I should’ve been, and I am greatly appreciative of that

Client Handbook

"Though I initially felt some hesitation about the product after reading the online table of contents, my concerns were completely addressed after a call with Anton at the home office. He provided excellent reassurance that the final product would be exactly as stated and that I would be able to customize it with my business's information. Anton also assured me that ongoing support would be available to answer any questions and guide me through the process. Upon receiving and reviewing the handbook, it perfectly matched the description. I would not only purchase from this company again but also highly recommend them."
