Questions families ask

Is memory care more expensive than regular assisted living in Wisconsin?

There is no published memory-care cost median for Wisconsin or any other state -- CareScout, the primary national cost-of-care survey source, does not survey memory care as its own category. Any memory-care price figure you see online is an estimate or extrapolation, not a primary-sourced figure.

What are common early warning signs that a loved one may need memory care rather than aging in place?

Common signs include getting lost in familiar places, missed medications or medication errors, unpaid bills or financial confusion, unsafe stove or appliance use, significant weight loss, wandering, and increasing difficulty managing personal hygiene -- especially when these appear together rather than as a single isolated incident.

What's the difference between Family Care and IRIS in Wisconsin?

Family Care is a managed long-term-care program in which a Managed Care Organization coordinates a care plan and provider network for the member. IRIS (Include, Respect, I Self-Direct) is a self-directed alternative in which the participant manages an individualized budget and can hire and direct their own workers.
