Lilburn’s average monthly cost of assisted living is $4,000 per month, which is higher than the state average of $3,500, yet lower than the national average of $4,300. Compared to adjacent states, its average cost is much higher than Alabama’s $3,150 and slightly higher than Florida’s $3,700. It’s also barely higher than South Carolina’s $3,988 but just under Tennessee’s $4,039.
Because Lilburn’s assisted living cost is higher than the state average, it’s also higher than that of many other Georgia cities. It’s significantly more than Macon’s average cost of $2,730, Rome’s $3,088 and Athens’ $3,366. Lilburn’s average cost is also higher than that of Savannah at $3,500 and Columbus at $3,650. However, it’s lower than Brunswick’s average cost of $4,124 and Gainesville’s $4,263.

The Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program helps seniors pay for alternative living services as a substitute for nursing homes, including 24-hour supervision, nursing and personal care and health-related support services provided at a state-licensed personal care home. Applicants must be aged 65 or older, be impaired by physical limitations and choose to receive services in their community instead of in a nursing home. The Georgia Division of Aging Services administers the EDWP through the Area Agencies on Aging.
