Payment planning

How to pay for memory care in Columbia, SC

Families often combine private income or assets with benefits for which a resident qualifies. Coverage depends on the person, care setting, and facility contract—never assume that a program pays room and board.

Medicare.gov

Understand what Medicare does not cover

Medicare generally does not pay for non-medical long-term care. Use this official coverage page before treating Medicare as a housing or custodial-care payment source.
