READ MOREIn the 2010 census, Kern County's population was 839,631, including around 90,000 residents who were 65 or older. As of 2015, 9.7 percent of these seniors were diagnosed with dementia, and many of them will eventually require care beyond what loved ones are able to provide at home. To meet the needs of these seniors and their families, Kern offers four memory care facilities.
California licenses them as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs). Note that not all RCFEs provide memory care; those that do must meet special staffing and security requirements to ensure quality care for seniors with dementia.
Memory Care costs in Kern County start around $5,260 per month on average, while the nationwide average cost of memory care is $5,694 per month.
It’s important to note that memory care rates in Kern County and the surrounding suburbs can vary widely based on factors such as location, the level of care needed, apartment size and the types of amenities offered at each community.
