Questions families ask

Is there a published cost figure for memory care in Wisconsin?

No. CareScout does not survey memory care as its own cost category anywhere in the country, so there is no primary-sourced memory-care median for Wisconsin or any other state.

Why doesn't a Milwaukee-specific senior care cost number exist anywhere?

CareScout, the primary national source for long-term-care cost data (formerly published by Genworth), surveys and publishes state-level medians only -- it does not break out metro-area or city-specific figures for Milwaukee or any other city.

Does Medicare pay for assisted living or memory care?

Generally, no. Medicare does not cover the room-and-board or custodial-care costs of assisted living or memory care. Medicare's coverage in senior care is generally limited to short-term skilled nursing/rehab stays following a qualifying hospital admission, home health care ordered by a physician, and hospice care.
