Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Minnesota
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Minnesota?
Assisted living in Minnesota supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

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