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.
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.

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.
