Paying for Memory Care in Delray Beach

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.

While costs can vary based on amenities and services, the average cost of memory care in Delray Beach is $5,481 per month.

Financial Assistance for Memory Care in Delray Beach

In Delray Beach 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.

More Ways to Pay for Memory Care

Memory care residents in Delray Beach depend on a combination of public and private funding sources to manage the costs of residential care. This financial support comes from a variety of channels, including state and federal assistance programs, veteran benefits, monthly income streams and personal savings accounts. By developing a tailored financial plan, seniors and their families can ensure the sustainability of long-term memory care.

  • Medicaid: Florida’s Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program pays for a range of memory care services. Depending on an individual’s care plan, this may include case management, medication administration, personal care and nonemergency medical transportation.
  • Medicare: The federal health insurance program for seniors covers medically necessary services, such as skilled nursing and physical therapy, through Part B coverage. However, standard memory care services fall outside the scope of this coverage.
  • VA Benefits: According to our proprietary Caring.com database, over two dozen memory care centers in Delray Beach accept veterans benefits for personal care services, meals and transportation. The VA provides three programs to help qualified individuals pay for services: Housebound allowance, Aid and Attendance benefits and the Geriatrics and Extended Care program.
  • Private payments: Most memory care residents tap into their personal checking and savings accounts to pay for housing and services. This may include Social Security and pension income, investment dividends, 401(k) savings and long-term care insurance.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

Seniors who don’t require 24/7 skilled nursing care may consider more affordable options, such as in-home or home health care, which cost an average of $4,195 and $4,385 respectively. Adult day health care is even cheaper at $1,517 monthly. Assisted living is about 25% more affordable than memory care services and is for mostly independent seniors who require some supportive services. Nursing home services are for seniors that require around-the-clock skilled nursing care. This is the most expensive senior care option, at an average of $9,019 per month.
