Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Tennessee

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

Assisted living in Tennessee supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

Does Tennessee Medicaid cover memory care?

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