Memory Care FAQ

What is memory care?
Memory care is a specialized form of senior living designed for individuals with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or other memory-related conditions. Communities feature secure environments, structured daily routines, and staff trained specifically in dementia care.
How much does memory care cost per month?
Memory care typically costs $1,000–$2,000 more per month than standard assisted living — averaging $5,500–$7,000/month nationally. The higher cost reflects specialized staffing, secure facilities, and programming. Costs vary significantly by location.
How is memory care different from assisted living?
Assisted living provides general daily support for seniors. Memory care adds a secured environment (to prevent wandering), staff with dementia-specific training, structured sensory and cognitive programming, and higher caregiver-to-resident ratios.
What stage of dementia requires memory care?
Memory care is typically recommended at moderate-to-advanced stages — when wandering risk increases, daily supervision becomes necessary, or standard assisted living can no longer safely meet your loved one's needs. An early conversation with a care advisor can help you plan ahead.
