Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Arkansas

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Arkansas?

Assisted living in Arkansas supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Arkansas Medicaid cover memory care?

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

What is memory care?
