For many seniors and families, managing memory care costs in San Jose involves a combination of public payment solutions and personal funds. The statewide Medicaid program, federally funded health insurance and veterans’ benefits help many seniors cover a portion of their expenses. Private income and assets bridge the gap between public funding and monthly fees, promoting access to ongoing specialized care.
