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

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