Understanding Medicaid Coverage for Assisted Living: A Comprehensive Guide
The guide outlines the complexities of Medicaid coverage for assisted living, highlighting significant state-to-state variations, limited coverage often restricted to personal care services, and the existence of specialized waivers for certain needs like memory care. It advises families to consult local Medicaid offices for options while emphasizing the importance of understanding state-specific regulations and facility policies.
How and When Medicaid May Cover Assisted Living Costs
