Archbold Living Camilla is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources.

Medicaid, as a joint federal and state program, may cover longer-term care for residents who meet financial and functional eligibility criteria under Georgia Medicaid rules. Prospective residents and their families are advised to contact the facility directly at (229) 336-8377 to confirm current bed availability, specific payment arrangements, and admissions criteria.
