Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Virginia
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Virginia?
Assisted living in Virginia 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 Virginia Medicaid cover memory care?
Virginia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Virginia) 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.
