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

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