How much does memory care cost in Richmond, VA?

Memory care in Richmond costs on average $7,013, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.^[01] This starting rate generally includes housing, daily meals, and personal care services. Monthly costs can increase depending on your loved one’s care needs, the size and layout of the apartment, and any additional services or amenities that are added over time.

Memory care in Richmond is more slightly expensive than the statewide average cost of $7,372 and slightly higher than the national average cost of $6,999. According to the Economic Research Institute, the cost of living in Jacksonville is around 3% higher than the national average, which may contribute to the higher cost of residential senior care. ^[02]

When compared with other senior living options in Richmond, memory care costs more than assisted living, which averages $5,088 per month, and independent living, which averages $4,229 per month. Memory care is generally more expensive than other types of senior care because seniors living in these communities have higher care needs.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps eligible older adults access health care and long-term support services. While it doesn’t cover room and board in a memory care facility, it may help pay for medically necessary care services if your loved one qualifies and needs additional support while living there.

Medicaid in Virginia is called Cardinal Care. There are two programs under Cardinal Care that seniors may qualify for:^[04,05]

Aged, Blind, and Disabled Cardinal Care is an entitlement program, meaning anyone who qualifies for Medicaid in Virgina and is aged, blind, or disabled receives this benefit.
The Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus waiver, known as CCC+, allows adults who would otherwise need a nursing home level of care to receive care in their community of choice, including memory care. This waiver may have a waiting period for 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
Vision and hearing services
