READ MOREThe California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) and Continuing Care Contracts Bureau monitors long-term care communities, including memory care facilities, to make sure they are in compliance with state rules and regulations.
Memory care is typically provided in establishments licensed as assisted living facilities. The costs of memory care usually average around 20% – 30% higher than standard assisted living. Because no authoritative data exists for the costs of memory care, we estimated them by adding 25% to the costs of assisted living in the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey.
Memory care costs in San Diego County average $6,844 per month, which is $321 higher than the California average of $6,563 and $1,219 higher than the national average of $5,625. Within the state of California, the lowest memory care costs are found in Visalia at $4,313, while the highest are found in Santa Rosa at $8,810. Costs are slightly lower in Sacramento, at $6,531 but rise to $7,899 in San Francisco.
