How people pay for memory care in Seattle

There are several ways families can pay for memory care through private savings or public assistance. In this section, you will learn more about the different ways people can pay for memory care, from private pay methods to utilizing Medicaid, Medicare, or VA benefits.

Private pay methods in Seattle

For those who want to privately fund memory care, using savings and pension accounts, Social Security benefits, and investment returns are all common options. Some additional ways families can privately pay for memory care include the following:

VA benefits for memory care in Seattle

Veterans can use several local and national resources to support and pay for their time in memory care. While government-organized local veteran programs like King County Veteran Services and the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) provide financial assistance and home modifications for some long-term care services, additional local VA assistance programs exist.

Disabled American Veterans (DAV) has a Seattle chapter that provides support related to VA benefits claims, appeals, transportation, and more. In addition, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion Department of Washington both assist with claims and appeals and also offer other support and advocacy for veterans and their families.

A popular option for families is the Aid and Attendance benefit, which contributes to expenses that improve quality of life. This benefit is in addition to the VA Pension. People who don’t qualify for the Aid and Attendance benefit may be eligible for the Housebound allowance, which helps cover costs associated with in-home health care services. Most of the resources we’ve provided in this guide will be able to help you determine whether a veteran is eligible for either of these benefits.

Applying for VA benefits can be a time-consuming process, so it’s wise to reach out to local resources before applying for benefits.

Seattle Medicaid for memory care

In Washington, Medicaid is known as Apple Health and will pay for some memory care costs depending on the resident’s care needs and income. Washington has the Specialized Dementia Care Program, which provides Medicaid funding for people with dementia who can no longer live at home. Services in this program can include the following:

  • Medication management
  • Nursing services
  • 24/7 staffing and supervision
  • Safe outdoor environments to walk securely

For support with necessary in-home care services, families may be able to apply for help through Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers, which allow states to use Medicaid funding to support eligible seniors in memory care facilities.

Navigating Medicaid can be tricky, so several local organizations are available to help families navigate the eligibility and claims processes. The Aging and Long-Term Support Administration (ALTSA) is a valuable resource while looking for the right care option. Washington’s local ombudsman is also vital for navigating the complaints and appeals process. To get help determining eligibility for a variety of benefits and programs, Washington’s Community Living Connections (CLC) Network can help.

Medicare memory care coverage in Seattle

Medicare, the federal health insurance program for people over the age of 65, is an option for Medicare beneficiaries with an Alzheimer’s or dementia diagnosis but will only cover certain costs. For example, Medicare doesn’t cover the costs associated with memory care for people with Alzheimer’s or dementia, but it can help pay for other services related to dementia care:

  • Inpatient hospital care
  • Physician’s fees
  • Medically necessary items
  • Short-term nursing care
  • Some care if a person is admitted to a memory care unit

The type of support families can claim will depend on whether a person has Medicare Part A or Part B. Part A generally covers inpatient and home health care. In contrast, Part B covers outpatient services, diagnostics, and some forms of therapy.

The Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) in Washington offer free and confidential assistance with Medicare, while other programs like the Medicare Savings Program can help eligible people with costs related to Medicare fees and deductibles. Note that it is actually administered through the state’s Medicaid program, Apple Health. The Pharmaceutical Assistance Program can help defray prescription drug costs.

Washington residents can also contact their local Social Security Administration and ombudsman for information, advocacy, and support.

Understand Washington’s laws and regulations for memory care facilities

Washington’s Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) is responsible for regulating memory care facilities, which must be licensed and are regularly inspected to ensure compliance in medication management, safety and security protocols, resident care, and more.

There are two types of facilities for memory care: adult family homes and assisted living facilities. And each type has its own set of requirements.

Adult family homes in Seattle

An adult family home is licensed to provide housing and care for up to six adults in a regular house within a residential neighborhood. In these types of homes, staff members assume responsibility for the well-being and safety of residents. Adult family homes are required to be well-maintained and provide a sanitary and safe environment for residents, and they must ensure staff members receive the necessary training to care for residents. They have to have fire safety and accessibility (for both mobility and communication) measures in place, offer nutritious foods, establish health care procedures for all residents, offer activities, and ensure financial solvency.

To find out more about the license of an adult family home specializing in memory care, you can visit the Washington State DSHS website. From there, you can also look up inspection reports and other records. Just click “advanced AFH search”; search by county, city, or ZIP code; and select “Dementia Care” under “Specific Criteria.”

Assisted living facilities in Seattle

An assisted living facility is licensed to provide housing and care services to seven or more residents in a home or facility that’s located within a residential neighborhood. Assisted living facilities are required to prioritize residents’ health, safety, and well-being and provide a comfortable, clean, and safe living environment. Staff members have to be fully trained to provide the necessary scope of care and assistance, including emergency medical care and medication administration. Residents in assisted living facilities must receive nutritious meals and ample opportunities for social interaction. These facilities must have systems in place for emergency preparedness and fire safety, and both communication accessibility and financial solvency are required.

To look up licenses, inspections, and other records, visit the Washington State DSHS website. Then click “advanced ALF search”; search by county, city, or ZIP code; and select “Dementia Care” under “Specific Criteria.”

Beyond the above requirements, memory care facilities in Washington have additional specific standards, particularly relating to staffing and staff training. These include the following:

  • Staff must be on duty around the clock to care for residents.
  • Additional training is required for staff members providing direct care to residents.
  • Individual care plans, programming, and activities should be available for residents.[03]

If inspection reports and licenses for memory care facilities are not publicly available via the databases provided above, they can be requested. Families or caregivers can find additional information and resources for Washington memory care laws and regulations via the following resources:

COVID-19 regulations for Seattle memory care facilities

Washington has scaled back many COVID-19 regulations to better align with guidelines recommended by the CDC. Currently, memory care facilities in Seattle are following guidelines from the Washington State Department of Health’s recommendations for COVID-19 infection prevention in health care settings [04], as well as the CDC.[05]

Single icon image

Vaccinations. Memory care facilities recommend for residents and staff to be up-to-date on vaccines.

Single icon image

Masking. An N95 mask, or another well-fitted mask, is recommended for staff.

Single icon image

Facility cleanliness. Staff should use dedicated medical equipment if a resident is suspected of having, or has a confirmed case of, COVID-19. Routine cleaning and disinfection, including optimized ventilation and filtration, is also recommended.

Single icon image

Quarantining. For residents with COVID-19, staff should limit movement within the facility to medically essential purposes.

What to expect from memory care living in Seattle

Seattle’s memory care facilities focus on safety and security while offering residents the opportunity to continue living with a high quality of life.

Memory care facilities in Seattle are secured communities that have been explicitly designed to accommodate people with memory loss. Because of this, 43% of in-network facilities offer enclosed walking spaces. Eighty-five percent of memory care facilities in Seattle also feature amenities including beauty salons, housekeeping, laundry service, and grocery shopping and errands.

There are two distinct types of memory care facilities in Seattle: memory care group homes and facilities that offer a combination of memory care, assisted living, and independent living.

Group homes for memory care in Seattle

Group homes are residential care facilities that provide a homelike environment for seniors to reside. A family-style alternative to assisted living facilities or nursing homes, group homes are staffed 24/7 and offer residents engaging activities, home-cooked meals, and a sense of community. In Washington, some group homes provide skilled nursing care, as well as assistance with daily living tasks.

Sixty-two of the 99 memory care facilities in A Place for Mom’s Seattle network are group homes.[01] These types of memory care facilities offer a homey, comfortable environment for residents, and they provide a higher staff-to-resident ratio than other types of senior care facilities. Smaller communities like these can be ideal for memory care, as residents are less likely to experience overwhelm and have fewer faces to get used to. Plus, group homes are typically more cost-effective for residents than assisted living facilities or nursing homes.

Facilities that offer memory care, assisted living, and independent living in Seattle

If you’re looking for a broader spectrum of care as your loved one moves through the next phases of life, facilities that offer a combination of memory care, assisted living, and/or independent living in Seattle might be a good option.

Residents can take advantage of amenities like salons and libraries, as well as on- and off-site activities. These facilities are staffed 24/7 and provide the memory care your loved one needs while also providing varying degrees of additional care depending on residents’ individual needs.

Transportation for seniors in Seattle

While memory care facilities provide transportation to doctor’s appointments and even chaperones, there are still other options for getting around — especially with the help of a friend or family member.

Seattle has a transit score of 60, based on a scale of 1 to 100, from Walk Score.[01] This score considers how easy it is to get around Seattle using public transport. The availability of public transportation in downtown Seattle is high, and it fans out to other hubs in the greater Seattle area. For people with disabilities, including those with Alzheimer’s and dementia, Access Transportation provides door-to-door transportation services for medical appointments and social outings.

For caregivers or family members, ride-sharing apps are starting to offer services that make it easier to book transportation for people with dementia. For example, GoGoGrandparent book rides on ride-sharing apps for seniors who may not have a smartphone.

Some other transportation options for seniors who are unable to use fixed routes include Via to Transit, which provides door-to-door transportation. Sound Generations offers rides to medical appointments and shuttle services. Reduced-rate community transit is also available for people who are unable to use traditional buses.

Senior activities in Seattle

Partaking in social activities with friends and loved ones is a great way to keep people with dementia mentally alert and physically strong, which is why activity directors at our partner facilities provide a lot of great in-house options. If friends or family want to take a resident out, Seattle has a number of gardens and attractions that provide an enriching experience for people with dementia.

Seattle Japanese Garden and Volunteer Park Conservatory are both tranquil ways to spend an afternoon. Each has beautiful gardens and rest areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Volunteer Park Conservatory, a historic greenhouse, is also enclosed, making it an ideal way to spend a cold or rainy afternoon.

Seattle Parks and Recreation also has a wealth of dementia-friendly activity options. Partnering with organizations in the community, Seattle Parks and Recreation has the Dementia Friendly Recreation Program, which offers ways for people with memory loss to stay engaged in the community through field trips, volunteering, art classes, and exercise groups.
