Common questions
What families ask before choosing a state guide

- How long do waitlists typically last for home care waivers?
- What does assisted living vs. memory care cost here?
- How far do families usually travel to find availability?
How to use these guides
Start broad, then add local context
Begin with the statewide baseline (eligibility, coverage, and constraints), then move to city pages for pricing and availability pressure. This keeps decisions grounded in both rules and reality.
We focus on preparedness risk so families can plan before timing pressure removes options.
