Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Dauphin County, PA
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Pennsylvania?

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