More Ways to Pay for Memory Care

To pay for memory care services in St. Petersburg, seniors typically rely on public benefits and personal funds. Depending on an individual’s access to financial resources and eligibility status, they may cover long-term care costs with Medicaid, Medicare, veterans benefits and their own money. 

  • Medicaid:  Qualified seniors in St. Petersburg pay for memory care services through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program. This entitlement program covers personal care services, recreational activities, meals and transportation.
  • Medicare: Medicare’s coverage doesn’t apply to nonmedical care services such as custodial care, meals and housing. However, seniors can use this insurance to pay for medically necessary services and supplies they receive in memory care facilities.
  • VA Benefits: The VA helps seniors pay for memory care services, including custodial care, meals and transportation, through two benefit programs. The Aid and Attendance benefit increases the recipient’s monthly pension, providing more money for care and living expenses, while the Geriatrics and Extended Care program provides direct coverage for a variety of services.
  • Private Payments: Seniors in memory care facilities rely on personal income and assets to cover all types of expenses, such as housing, personal care and recreational activities. Common sources for private payments include pensions, Social Security benefits, retirement savings and reverse mortgage loans.

What to Consider About Memory Care in St Petersburg

Located just to the south of Tampa, Florida, St. Petersburg is home to more than 47,000 seniors over the age of 65, some of whom make up the 520,000 people in the state who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia. To care for these seniors, there are 11 memory care facilities located in St. Petersburg and surrounding cities like Pinellas Park.

In St. Petersburg and the state of Florida, memory care facilities are assisted living facilities (ALFs) that operate under a limited mental health license (LMH).
