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

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