Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Massachusetts

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

Does Massachusetts Medicaid cover memory care?

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