Memory Care in Rhode Island
Rhode Island has a population that’s just slightly older than average for the country, with an estimated 17.7% of the population aged 65 or over. Even so, the impact of Alzheimer’s disease in the state has been relatively high. In 2019, there were 456 deaths attributed to the disease, and it ranked fifth in leading causes of death for Rhode Island residents.
Although the state has a generally high cost of living, Rhode Island’s average health cost is 19.9% lower than the U.S. average. Short-term hospital care is often required for people with Alzheimer’s, due to a fall or accident, but shouldn’t be considered an alternative to the types of services and living environments of memory care programs. These specialized programs are relatively expensive, however, with an average cost of $8,533 for memory care in Rhode Island.
Memory care can either be offered on its own in a community designed especially for those with dementia or Alzheimer’s, or, more often, it’s provided as a service in a separate wing of an assisted living facility. Memory care programs are designed specifically for those with memory impairment, and the facilities often coordinate social activities and schedules specifically for the needs of those living with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
This guide gives seniors and families an overview of memory care costs in Rhode Island and the wider region, as well as an explanation of the state’s financial assistance and other resources.
The Cost of Memory Care in Rhode Island
When trying to decide how to pay for memory care, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living. To help shed light on real senior living prices, Caring.com has compiled proprietary cost data from its network of over 75,000 senior living providers to offer insight into the average cost of memory care in Rhode Island and its 5 cities.
Note: Memory care services and programs are generally provided by assisted living facilities, with expected additional costs of up to 20-30% of the usual rate. As such, we’ve compared costs by adding 25% to the assisted living data in Genworth Financial’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey.
Rhode Island’s monthly average cost for memory care is $8,533, which is almost $3,000 higher than the U.S. average. Prices are similarly high in some nearby states, with Massachusetts offering little relief at $8,125 per month. New Hampshire residents save approximately $1,000 per month in memory care fees compared to Rhode Island. Connecticut and New York have the lowest average costs, with a considerable gap of around $2,100 to $2,800 per month between the cost in Rhode Island.
The Cost of Memory Care in Rhode Island's Top Cities
Looking at the intriguing world of memory care in Rhode Island's top cities, there's quite the gamut of figures.

Nestled somewhat in the middle is Warwick, with an average cost of $6,250. These price disparities underscore the significance of comparing options, so be thorough when researching.

Does Medicaid Cover Memory Care in Rhode Island?
Note: For the purposes of this guide, when we say “Memory Care” we are referring to memory care provided in a “social setting,” such as an Assisted Living Facility. This is the most common way to receive Memory Care and is the best fit for all but the frailest seniors. Sometimes the actual service of memory care can be provided in a Nursing Home (“medical setting”), so the financial assistance options will be very different. To learn more about the financial assistance options available for memory care provided in a nursing home, read our guide to Nursing Home Care in Rhode Island.
Yes, some low-income residents may be eligible for at least partial coverage of memory care services received in licensed facilities via Medicaid in Rhode Island. This type of personal care and supervision in a residential setting is provided as one of many Medicaid Long-Term Services and Supports that may be granted upon approval.
Applicants for LTSS must be eligible for Medicaid, financially and otherwise, while also meeting certain functional/clinical requirements that can only be determined during the initial and follow-up assessments. Further details on eligibility and where to find help are provided below.
What Memory Care Services Are Covered by Medicaid in Rhode Island
Some or all of the services listed below may be provided at no cost to residents of approved assisted living and memory care facilities in Rhode Island. Room-and-board costs aren’t covered by Medicaid.
- Assisted living/personal care
- Homemaker/housekeeping
- Medical equipment and supplies
- Case management
- Environmental modifications/minor home modifications
- Personal Emergency Response System
Coverage of many services is determined for each person based on their needs, including financial, functional and medical requirements. A case manager or memory care facility staff can help with the process.
How to Know if You’re Eligible for Medicaid in Rhode Island
Medicaid is available to low-income residents in various eligibility groups, including the elderly and people with disabilities. Coverage for assisted living and memory care services, however, requires additional approval for Medicaid Long-Term Services and Supports. As such, the eligibility overview below is designed for seniors and people with disabilities, and these details are relevant to memory care coverage in particular.
The maximum allowable income for an individual is equal to 300% of the current SSI Federal Benefit Rate. As of 2023, this adds up to a maximum income of $2,742 per month or $32,904 per year for an individual. Virtually all sources of income are considered in the financial eligibility process. Many assets don’t count toward the limit of $4,000 per person, however, such as a vehicle, household goods and the home/property itself if it’s occupied by family.
| Household Size | Number of Applicants | Income Limits Per Year* | Asset Limits: Applicant(s) | Asset Limits: Non-Applicants |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One Person | 1 | $32,904 | $4,000 | |
| Two People | 1 | $32,904** | $4,000 | $148,620 |
| Two People | 2 | $65,808*** | $8,000**** |
*Depending on the facility setting, a recipient may not be able to keep income up to this level.
**Income limit is for applicant only.
***Income is limited to $2,742 per month per spouse.
****Assets are limited to $4,000 per spouse
In addition to the financial criteria, the following requirements must be met by applicants for Long-Term Services and Supports coverage from Medicaid.
- Aged 65 or blind/disabled (as defined by Social Security)
- Documented need for the level of care provided (help with functional activities, for example)
- Rhode Island resident and United States citizen or satisfactory immigration status
Applicants are assessed as to their medical diagnosis and treatments, cognitive status and functional ability. Memory loss and other issues related to Alzheimer’s are reported in the assessment, as well as the individual’s expected daily care needs in their home, a memory care program or other long-term care. The level of care assessment must be performed by a licensed health care provider, which will be arranged soon after a request for LTSS is made.

Does Medicare Cover Memory Care in Rhode Island?
The short answer is that no, Medicare does not cover the cost of memory care in Rhode Island. As was mentioned above, this doesn’t apply to Memory Care received in a Nursing Home. Since it is the most common to receive memory care in a “social setting” (such as an assisted living facility), Medicare won’t be a viable financial assistance option for most seniors who need Memory Care. However, Medicare will still cover things like approved medications, doctor visits, medical equipment, etc., just like it would if you lived at home.
For more information about when Medicare can be used to pay for Memory Care in a nursing home, and for Medicare-related resources, see our guide to Nursing Homes in Rhode Island.

| Long-Term Care (LTC) Insurance | Learn more about Long-Term Care Insurance and how to apply for a policy at acl.gov. | Seniors who already have long-term care insurance may be able to use it to pay for Memory Care.

In Rhode Island, all long-term care facilities are inspected annually, licensed and regulated by the state’s Department of Health, Center for Health Facilities Regulation. Memory care is provided in assisted living facilities, and those facilities must hold an F1-M1 license, which means residents require assistance in an emergency situation, and the facility provides medication storage and medication administration. Facilities that advertise dementia care services and/or house one or more residents with dementia-related functional impairments must also have a special dementia care license.

| Care Plan Requirements | A registered nurse must complete a comprehensive Assisted Living Resident Assessment prior to admission to determine placement suitability. Once the resident is admitted, the assessment is used to develop an individualized care plan which is reviewed on a regular basis, or whenever the resident displays a significant change in behavior or physical health. |
| Medication Management Requirements | Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and staff who have successfully passed the four-hour medication administration training and exam who work in M1 licensed facilities that offer memory care services may administer most oral and topical medications. Only licensed medical staff may administer controlled substances such as prescription narcotics. |

| Staff Training Requirements | Once hired, staff assigned to work in a dementia care program must complete a minimum of 12 hours of workplace orientation and training related to dementia care. All dementia care units must have at least one registered nurse either on-site or on-call at all times. |
