Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Arizona
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Arizona?

Does Arizona Medicaid cover memory care?
Arizona Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Arizona) 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.
