Does Alabama Medicaid cover memory care?

Alabama Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Alabama) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
