A dash means the underlying source can't support that figure for this area. We leave the cell empty rather than estimate around it.

Why is this number different on other websites? Most sites average "starting at" prices. Base rent, before care fees. We estimate the full monthly cost families actually pay. Budget from the all-in number. Our methodology →

Ways families typically pay

  • Private pay (savings, income, home equity)
  • Long-term care insurance
  • VA Aid & Attendance for eligible veterans and surviving spouses
  • Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) waivers, where eligible. Rules vary by state

Medicare generally does not cover long-term custodial care. State-specific Medicaid waiver guides are coming soon.

Every licensed memory care provider

A note on counting: we show 0 licensed memory care providers listed for Secretary proper. Other sites show bigger numbers when they count a wide radius. Nearby options are linked below, labeled by city.

Providers appear with their government data: CMS star ratings where they exist, license status, capacity, and inspection history. You can sort them yourself. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody pays to move up. If a listing says "Sponsored," a provider paid for that placement and the label says so.

Looking for a transparent sort by CMS stars, inspection records, and staffing? That is a separate data ranking, not an editorial pick.
