READ MOREWith 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.

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.
