Does Medicare pay for memory care?
People often wonder if Medicare pays for memory care. It does not cover the cost of monthly rent, but oftentimes they will pay for additional medical services required to offset the cost. Skilled nursing services, hospice care, and medications fall into that category.
How can I pay for memory care in Houston?
- Long-term care insurance: Retirement age is a good time to shop for LTC insurance. Unlike Medicare and Medicaid, this insurance will pay a daily allowance for memory care living. Planning ahead with this option protects the savings account of your loved one.
- Veterans’ Administration Benefits: The VA Aid and Attendance pension program offers assistance to you and/or your spouse if you bravely served our country. This resource also assists in applying for benefits and helping you navigate finding care.

Will my loved one benefit from staying at home?
In late-stage Alzheimer’s and dementia, your loved one may require around-the-clock care due to the nature of the symptoms. The Alzheimer’s Association estimates $257 billion in unpaid care falls on friends and family members of those living with dementia every year.
In-home care is an option to relieve caretaking from family members, but consider:
- Will you have to pay for modifications to the home to make it accessible?
- Will you still be paying for property taxes and home maintenance?
- Will your loved one miss out on socialization and engaging programming?
- Will the home be secure enough to prevent wandering off?
