More Ways to Pay for Memory Care

To manage memory care costs, Bradenton seniors and families typically use a mix of public financial assistance programs and private income and assets. Medicaid, Medicare and VA benefits can reduce out-of-pocket costs for qualified individuals, while retirement income and savings cover additional expenses and bridge financial gaps. By combining these resources, families can navigate the financial aspects of memory care and ensure their loved ones receive necessary support.

  • Medicaid: The Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-term Care Program pays for many services seniors receive in memory care. While it doesn’t cover room and board, it pays for personal care, case management, medication management and meals.
  • Medicare: Like most health insurance policies, Medicare doesn’t pay for standard memory care services, which aren’t medically necessary. However, it can cover a portion of the cost of home health care services residents with medical needs receive.
  • VA Benefits: The VA administers three programs, including Housebound benefits, Aid and Attendance and the Geriatrics and Extended Care program, that apply toward the cost of memory care. Our proprietary Caring.com database lists over 20 local memory care facilities that accept VA benefits.
  • Private payments: Retirement savings, proceeds from renting out or selling a house, Social Security benefits and long-term care insurance help seniors cover remaining memory care expenses. Facilities accept private payments for all expenses, including housing and custodial care.
