At $10,646 per month for a semiprivate room, nursing home care is the only option costlier than memory care in Rocklin. In-home care and home health care, at $6,292, are more affordable, but neither provides 24-hour care for their median fee (which is based on 44 hours of care). Assisted living is less expensive, at $5,225, but not suitable for seniors with mid to late-stage dementia. Adult day care is the cheapest option, at $2,167, but requires daily trips to the center.

Memory care facilities in California must be licensed by the Department of Social Services. Licenses are issued under the Senior Care Licensing Program and are only given once the applicants have satisfied strict criteria.
