What is the difference between assisted living and memory care in Connecticut?
Assisted living is personal care and nursing services delivered by a DPH-licensed Assisted Living Services Agency inside a Managed Residential Community; memory care is that same agency's dementia special care unit or program, which needs separate DPH approval and a written disclosure. Neither is a nursing home.
| Assisted living (ALSA in an MRC) | Memory care (dementia special care unit) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who licenses it | DPH licenses the Assisted Living Services Agency (ALSA) that provides the care | Same ALSA license, plus DPH approval of the dementia special care unit or program (Public Act 21-121) |
| What the building is | A Managed Residential Community (MRC), registered with DPH — not licensed | A unit or program inside an MRC, often secured, with its staffing plan on file with DPH |
| What it is | Private apartment, meals, housekeeping, help with daily activities and medications | Dementia-focused care, activities and supervision for people with Alzheimer's or related disorders |
| What it isn't | Not a nursing home — no 24-hour skilled nursing | Not a separate license, and not a nursing-home dementia unit |
| What you get in writing | Residency agreement with fees, services and discharge terms | A signed dementia special care disclosure: philosophy, staffing ratios, training, placement and discharge criteria, extra fees |
| Typical Greater Hartford cost | $6,000–$8,500/mo | $7,500–$10,000/mo |
| Medicaid | Rent is private pay; CHCPE can pay for care services in participating communities | Same — rent is private pay; ask whether CHCPE is accepted |
