FAQs
Medicare does not typically cover non-medical home care services for people with dementia. This includes help with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, or supervision — even if these services are essential to daily life.
However, Medicare may cover short-term skilled services like nursing or physical therapy if prescribed after a hospital stay. Families seeking long-term dementia support often turn to Medicaid waivers, veterans benefits, or long-term care insurance to help with costs.
Common signs include increased confusion, wandering, missed medications, and unsafe behaviors like leaving the stove on or getting lost. You may also notice agitation, mood swings, or a rapid decline in the ability to manage daily routines.
Family caregiver burnout is also a strong signal. If caregiving is affecting your health, sleep, job, or relationships, it may be time to bring in trained support to share the responsibility.
On average, in-home dementia care costs between $25 and $40 per hour, depending on location, provider, and level of care needed. This translates to roughly $4,000–$8,000 per month for part-time to full-time support.
Costs can be covered partially through Medicaid waivers, Veterans Affairs (VA) Aid & Attendance, or long-term care insurance. It’s important to request a care assessment and personalized quote from providers in your area.
Yes — many individuals with Alzheimer’s can remain safely at home for years with consistent, structured support. In-home caregivers provide routine assistance, monitor safety, and create a calm environment that reduces disorientation.
This approach helps preserve the person’s independence, comfort, and sense of identity. Early-stage individuals may only need a few hours of help per day, while those in later stages may require 24-hour supervision.
Home care brings professional support into the individual’s home, offering one-on-one assistance while they remain in familiar surroundings. It’s flexible, can be tailored to specific needs, and allows for greater independence.
In contrast, memory care facilities are full-time residential programs with secure environments and 24/7 staff. These facilities are often best suited for people in later stages of dementia who require constant supervision or medical oversight.
