Note: Residential memory care is usually offered in assisted living facilities, and in general, memory care rates tend to be 20-30% higher than assisted living rates.

In Costa Mesa, memory care typically costs $6,563 per month, though rates can vary based on a community's location, amenities and services.

As memory care is tailored to seniors with memory loss, it is more expensive than assisted living, at $5,250 monthly. Seniors with lesser needs may consider adult day care — a much more budget-friendly option at $1,625 per month.

Both cost $5,911 per month, which is $652 less than memory care. Nursing homes are another alternative. Ideal for those with complex medical needs, these facilities cost over $2,500 more than memory care.
