Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care?

Assisted living provides help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management for seniors who are largely independent. Memory care is a specialized type of care designed for individuals with Alzheimer's or dementia, featuring secure environments, specialized staff training, and cognitive therapy programs.

How much does senior care cost?

Costs vary widely by location and care type. National averages range from $25-35/hour for home care, $4,500-6,000/month for assisted living, $5,500-7,500/month for memory care, and $8,000-10,000/month for skilled nursing. Many factors affect pricing including geographic location, level of care needed, and amenities provided.

Does Medicare cover senior living costs?

Medicare typically does not cover long-term care or assisted living costs. It may cover short-term skilled nursing care following a hospital stay and limited home health services. Medicaid may cover some costs for eligible individuals. Long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and personal savings are common payment sources.
