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

Assisted living in New Mexico supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does New Mexico Medicaid cover memory care?

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

What is memory care?
