There are two places for a person who has memory care. If a person is self-pay, Assisted Living/Memory Care is a good choice. Some States have waivers through Medicaid to help pay part of the rent.
If one needs help with paying for a facility and all the care, then Medicaid jumps in to help, and the main choice is a nursing home. One would need to apply and be approved by Medicaid [this is different from Medicare].
Or do you mean a place to take care of a person during the day, but they come home at night? Some areas have a special Alzheimer's/Dementia day care centers. You would need to check around, and see what is the daily fee.
