With its median fee of $4,188, Clearwater’s seniors save $812 per month when compared to Florida’s average and another $625 on top of that when compared to the country’s. The city also holds up well against neighboring alternatives, such as North Port ($5,181), Orlando ($5,000) and Homosassa Springs ($5,313). The exception is Lakeland, although the monthly savings of $63 may not be sufficient to entice families away from Clearwater.

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.
Memory care fees can fluctuate because each facility’s prices are based on numerous factors, such as location and staff-to-resident ratios, but the median monthly fee of $4,188 should give families an idea of likely costs.
In Clearwater there are options for seniors who need financial assistance paying for Memory Care. For more information about other options, who qualifies, and how to apply, visit our Memory Care in Florida page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for memory care, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance memory care costs include:

Clearwater’s memory care is one of the most affordable types of care in the city, only surpassed by assisted living’s $3,350 and adult day care’s $2,123. However, neither of these is suitable for elders with cognitive issues. In-home care and home health care can aid people with early-stage dementia, but their fees of $4,767 and $4,962, respectively, are much higher than memory care. Nursing homes are costlier still, at $8,927.

Clearwater’s memory care communities provide appropriate care to the elders in their charge, but this isn’t the only help available to the city’s seniors. Numerous nonprofits dedicate themselves to helping Clearwater’s older residents handle an array of issues free of charge. The following table lists several support services seniors can use to address issues about the quality of their care, learn how to live with Alzheimer’s and seek legal assistance in matters of civil law.

Clearwater’s memory care communities are licensed and regulated by the Bureau of Health Facility Regulation. The bureau monitors facilities by investigating complaints and conducting unannounced inspections to ensure they continue to comply with the terms of their licenses. It can revoke a facility’s license if it fails to uphold standards, such as having inadequate staff-to-resident ratios.
Clearwater Memory Care Communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all Memory Care Facilities in Florida are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Florida page for more information about these laws.
