By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.

As to A.I I am hearing more and more about how wrong it often is. Scary. Because they are now using it a lot in diagnostics.
Every year she has to recertify with Medicaid. It's ridiculous. We use an elder lawyer to help with the trust and recertification. It's expensive.
You do have to find memory care facility that takes Medicaid. Then will have to spend down her money from savings or other cash assets before she would qualify. In most states, the limit is $2000 or less in money. Her income may already meet the limits - if she's over, an elder atty can help with the trust thing or explain options. Very wise to talk to atty.
Recertification is not that hard to do on your own after the initial application process. You just provide the documents they request
Get everything in writing.
If the person is already in memory care, this information is likely already provided to you. Who is getting this person's mail? Who is legally responsible for this person? Who are you in relation to this person?

The only way you will know if they cover is to apply for Medicaid and I can tell you its a bear. If the person has anything in finances you have to have the statements. So for my BIL I had to have all statements of bank accounts, statement from his pension and statement from his social security. If he had any cash I had to report that too. For Medicaid if they have life insurance with a payout like my BIL did I had to cash that in and put it towards his funeral which I did. I had to prove what he had in finances. It was a long process but I finally got him on it. If they deny you keep at it find out why they did deny you. I had to do that too. Didn't have all the paperwork I needed.
As far as I know, there isn’t a single centralized “master list” online that details which states cover assisted living or memory care through Medicaid. However, there are some resources that provide helpful overviews and comparisons. Websites like MedicaidPlanningAssistance.org or PayingforSeniorCare.com offer state-by-state guides on Medicaid coverage for long term care, including assisted living and memory care.
Each state operates its Medicaid program differently, and most states offer some form of Medicaid waiver for home and community based services (HCBS), which can include coverage for memory care. These sites typically break down Medicaid waiver programs by state and specify what kinds of services are covered under each.
For specific, reliable information, people can visit these websites or consult directly with a Medicaid specialist or an elder care attorney in their state.
Eligibility for Medicaid coverage varies based on income, assets, and medical need. In some states, there are programs specifically for individuals with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease that may help cover the cost of memory care services.
Check with your state’s Medicaid office or a local elder law attorney for more details about coverage in your area.
Surely there must be one somewhere online.
Thank you in advance I pray you see thus. Email..
I guess you can either look online or call the facilities you're interested in.
Some memory care facilities DO cover Medicaid patients, esp. if those clients were with them for some time as private pay. It would be up to you to explore each in your area. They will be happy to explain to you whether or not they accept Medicaid.
