TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around whether moving into a long-term senior dementia care home in Thailand qualifies for a medical visa. Several comments suggest that medical visas are typically for short-term treatments and emphasize the need for supportive documentation from a physician. It's mentioned that the facility may handle the visa application process. Alternatives such as retirement visas (Non-O visas) are discussed, as they may be more suited for long-term stays, especially for seniors. A comment highlights that specific care homes can assist with visa administration based on individual requirements.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

I know of one assisted living/ care home complex in Hua Hin that can provide a care package specific to your requirements. Part of their basic services is to do the admin for your visa, whichever one you choose to be on.
No. To get a chepaer elderly health care, some American Health Insurance companies give a big discount if you are insured with them and accept to undergo medical treatment in Malaysia or Thailand.
A pensioner visa with Thai insurance would bring you nearly there.
Some, oldies that I know of, on pensioner visa, get a maid that comes some hours a day, about 10,000 THB a month . Live in, goes up to 30,000 THB a month.
Medical visa is for hospitals like Bumrungrad where the treatment allows even family members to cling on it, 6 months max. Mostly Arabs use that.
I was under the impression that you will only get visa & care payments if you can't not get the help in your own country

You would want to contact the facility to find out. They are the ones who would be responsible for applying for the visa with paperwork from a doctor, so it would be up to them if they're willing to do it and if they know of the process.
