Major types of senior living include assisted living (help with daily activities), memory care (specialized Alzheimer's/dementia care), independent living (active lifestyle communities), continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), skilled nursing facilities, and board and care homes. Each serves different needs and care levels.
Medicare generally does not cover long-term senior living costs like assisted living or memory care. It may cover short-term skilled nursing care after a hospital stay. Medicaid, which is different from Medicare, may help cover assisted living costs in many states through waiver programs. VA benefits and long-term care insurance are other common payment options.
Assisted living provides help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living designed for people with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other cognitive conditions. Memory care typically costs 20-30% more than standard assisted living and offers secured environments, specialized staff training, and structured activities.
