Common questions
Is memory care covered under Medicare?
Medicare generally does not pay for long-term room and board in assisted living or memory care. Medicare may cover short-term skilled care or related medical services when eligibility rules are met. Confirm coverage with your physician and each community.
What services does memory care provide?
Memory care offers secured environments, dementia-trained staff, structured activities, and help with daily activities for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias. Services vary by community; compare listings and ask about staffing ratios and care plans.
How much does assisted living or memory care cost?
Monthly costs depend on location, apartment size, and care level. Many families compare private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicaid waiver programs where available. Contact communities directly for current pricing and payer policies.
What is the difference between assisted living and memory care?
Assisted living supports daily activities for older adults who need help with meals, bathing, or medications. Memory care adds specialized dementia support and secured settings. Read our memory care vs assisted living guide, then search communities on this directory.
Are continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) a good fit?
CCRCs combine independent living, assisted living, and sometimes skilled nursing on one campus with a contract model. They can simplify future care transitions but require careful review of fees and contracts. Compare options in your area before deciding.
