In Columbus, the average monthly cost of memory care is $6,940, based on A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.^[01] This amount typically includes the base cost for housing, meals, and standard services. Additional fees may apply for personal care or specialized support. Total costs can vary based on factors such as the community’s location, the size and layout of the apartment, and the level of memory care or medical assistance your loved one requires.

In Columbus, the average monthly cost of memory care is comparable to both the national average of $6,999 and Ohio’s statewide average of $6,894.^[01] According to the Economic Research Institute, Columbus’ overall cost of living is slightly below the national average,^[02] which may help families better manage the expense of memory care services.

How to pay for memory care in Columbus

Many older adults and families in Columbus pay for memory care using a mix of private and public resources. Common funding sources include personal savings, home sale proceeds, long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and Ohio’s Medicaid programs that help cover care-related services.

Private pay options

Personal income and assets that families often use to pay for memory care include:

Social Security benefits
Pension payments
Retirement account distributions (e.g., 401k, 401a and 403b, Roth, and others)
Health saving accounts
Long-term care insurance
Certain kinds of life insurance policies
Proceeds from selling a home or other real estate
Proceeds from a reverse mortgage

In some cases, family members contribute to help cover monthly costs.

VA benefits

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers several programs that can help eligible veterans and surviving spouses pay for memory care services. Commonly used VA benefits include:

Veterans Pension
Aid and Attendance benefits
Disability Compensation

In addition, surviving spouses may qualify for financial assistance through the Survivors Pension or Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) programs, which can help reduce out-of-pocket memory care costs.

Because the VA application process can be detailed, missing paperwork or incomplete information may lead to delays or denials. To avoid setbacks, it’s best to start early and work with a VA-accredited benefits counselor who can explain eligibility requirements and guide your family through the process with confidence.

Resources for veterans in Columbus

Over 34,000 veterans live in Columbus, and many are age 65+.^[03] To assist these veterans and their families, several local organizations and agencies offer guidance and support in accessing available benefits and resources. Consider contacting:

Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps people with limited income access essential health and long-term care services. In Ohio, Medicaid does not cover room and board in memory care communities, but eligible residents may use it to pay for care-related services.

Ohio’s Medicaid program supports seniors in memory care settings in three main ways:^[04,05,06]

The standard Medicaid plan for aged, blind, and disabled residents
MyCare Ohio, a managed care program
The Assisted Living Waiver Program, which helps cover care services in approved communities

Coverage can include:

Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs)
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
Recreational and social programs
Transportation for medical or personal needs
Daily meals, housekeeping, and laundry services

The Aged, Blind, and Disabled (ABD) Medicaid Program in Ohio is an entitlement, meaning all eligible residents can receive assistance. MyCare Ohio is also a waiver, but the state doesn’t limit availability. The Assisted Living Waiver Program, however, has limited availability and may not be immediately accessible.

Because eligibility depends on both financial and medical factors, families are encouraged to review each program carefully and consult a Medicaid specialist to determine which option best meets their loved one’s care needs.

Medicaid resources in Columbus, Ohio

In Ohio, elderly residents can apply for Medicaid in one of four ways:

Online through Ohio’s self-service portal
In person at a local Job and Family Services office
By phone at 800-324-8680
By mail, email, or fax after completing an application

For assistance applying for Medicaid, or for help with specific questions, caregivers in Columbus can contact:

Franklin County Job and Family Services
1721 Northland Park Ave.
Columbus, OH 43229
Phone: 844-640-6446

Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging (COAA)

Phone: 614-645-7250

Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program available to adults age 65 and older, as well as to younger individuals with certain disabilities or medical conditions, such as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or ALS.^[07] While Medicare doesn’t cover the cost of memory care or other long-term care, it can help reduce medical expenses for residents, including prescription medications, durable medical equipment, and other eligible health care services.

What is memory care like in Columbus?

Memory care communities in Columbus provide personalized, compassionate care for seniors living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Care teams take time to build meaningful relationships with each resident, learning their preferences, routines, and interests to support comfort, familiarity, and engagement.

These communities offer many of the same amenities as assisted living, along with specialized features and programs designed to meet the unique needs of residents with memory loss, such as:

Secure environments and safety systems to help prevent wandering
Cognitive and sensory-based activities that encourage connection and stimulation
Indoor and enclosed outdoor walking areas that promote independence and calm

Multiple tiers of care on one campus

Many of A Place for Mom’s partner communities in Columbus offer not just memory care but assisted living and independent living as well. Hosting people who have different care needs on one campus offers more variety among residents, often providing more opportunity for friendships and social engagement, regardless of an individual’s specific level of need.

Communities that integrate multiple levels of care enable residents to conveniently transition to a support level that fits them if their needs change, making them ideal for aging in place. Additionally, since memory care units tend to have a lower maximum number of residents than assisted living, seniors who are in the earlier stages of memory loss can start assisted living as a more cost-effective option and then transition to the memory care unit should they need more specialized cognitive support.
