Financial Assistance for Memory Care in Scottsdale
In Scottsdale, there are options for seniors who need financial assistance paying for Memory Care. For more information about other options, who qualifies, and how to apply, Memory Care in Arizona page.
More Ways to Pay for Memory Care
Memory care residents often have financial strategies that incorporate public and private payments to cover their care. By understanding the programs they qualify for and out-of-pocket expenses, seniors and families can ensure the long-term viability of residential dementia care.
- Medicaid: The statewide Medicaid managed care program, Arizona Long Term Care Services, pays for memory care expenses, such as case management, personal care services, respite care, and rehabilitative therapies.
- Medicare: Medicare doesn't cover nonmedical custodial care, which makes up the bulk of memory care services. However, Part B coverage pays for medically necessary services in a memory care facility, such as skilled nursing and medication administration, helping seniors reduce out-of-pocket costs.
- VA Benefits: Qualifying veterans pay for some memory care services through the Geriatrics and Extended Care program, which covers personal care and meals, and they receive increased monthly pension payments through the Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits programs. The VA also operates the Arizona State Veteran Home, which sits 10 miles away in Phoenix and features a 25-bed memory care unit.
- Private Payments: This funding covers all memory care costs, including room and board fees, meals, recreation and personal care services. Some common private payment methods seniors in Scottsdale rely on include Social Security benefits, pension income, long-term care insurance and money from their retirement savings accounts.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Adult day care ($2,167) is the most affordable senior care option in Scottsdale. Assisted living costs $3,975 per month. Home care and home health care providers both charge around $5,958. Nursing homes are the costliest senior care providers in Scottsdale, with rates ranging from $6,418 for a semiprivate room and $7,908 for a private room.
