Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps eligible older adults access health care and long-term support services.

Both programs may cover the following health care services for seniors in memory care:

  • Rehabilitative services
  • Medical care
  • Prescription drugs
  • Personal care services
  • Eligible medical supplies
