Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Illinois

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

Assisted living in Illinois supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

Does Illinois Medicaid cover memory care?

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