Paying for Memory Care in Pasadena

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. No national database currently tracks memory care costs in the United States, so we've estimated the monthly memory care costs listed below by adding 25% to the rates listed in Genworth's 2021 Cost of Care Survey.

In Pasadena, seniors pay a baseline monthly rate of $6,563 for residential memory care.

What to Consider About Memory Care in Pasadena

The California Department of Social Services, Senior Care Licensing Program licenses and oversees the operation of all memory care communities in Pasadena. This department sets regulations for the scope of services facilities provide, including specialized care, and it establishes standards for building security and staff training. It also publishes information on residents’ rights and public policies that impact long-term care.

 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Pasadena

  • While a typical U.S. city scores 48 out of 100 points on the AARP Livability Index, Pasadena has a comparatively high rating of 55, indicating that it has a high number of resources and benefits for its senior population. The city doesn’t report a shortage in clinicians, promoting access to dementia-informed medical care, and about 75% of hospital patients report satisfaction with their care compared to 69% nationally.
  • Pasadena’s lack of affordability limits access to memory care services for many prospective residents, but fortunately, some facilities in the region accept the state’s Assisted Living Waiver. Overall, living costs in this city run 44% above the national average, with high housing and utility costs driving up the cost of living. However, in many cases, memory care communities have all-inclusive pricing, reducing incidents of unexpected bills.
  • Pasadena residents have access to a range of educational resources and support through Alzheimer’s Los Angeles, the county’s dementia-friendly initiative that works to create a welcoming environment for those living with memory loss. The organization operates a helpline with specialists who provide up-to-date information and support and has a team of care counselors who help families evaluate long-term care options. It also hosts The Memory Club, an eight-week program that has weekly meetings for seniors and their families.
  • Summers in Pasadena run just under 3 months in length and bring daytime temperatures of around 86 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool season lasts about 4 months, spanning late November to mid-March, and it has slightly lower temperatures of between 65 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. To let residents safely enjoy the weather while reducing the risk of off-site wandering, memory care facilities in this region have fully enclosed outdoor living areas.
  • In Pasadena, seniors pay state income taxes at rates of between 1% and 13.3%, which is high compared to most other states in the nation. However, the state exempts Social Security benefits and has a senior income tax exemption for those aged 65 and over, letting memory care residents double the standard personal exemption.
