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

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