I’m a new caregiver (going on ~ 2 months) to a mother with moderate dementia (based on online assessments and general research). She’s on a waitlist to be assessed, but in the meantime I’ve quickly realized that I can’t give her the level of care she needs (and other siblings won’t take her). The memory care facilities seem to be about $4-5K per month. Are there any decent ones in Massachusetts less than that? Is there any financial support offered for non-Medicaid pts?
You can call your local social services to see if they offer any help or point you in the right direction. Some states even offer some adult day care to give you time on your own. If she is younger than 65, the social service person may be able to enroll her in some other MA care.
There sometimes is congregate housing for low income but they do not provide memory care, just housing and meals. Those have wait lists.
