Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Connecticut
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Connecticut?
Assisted living in Connecticut 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 Connecticut Medicaid cover memory care?
Connecticut Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Connecticut) 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.
