At $4,806, memory care rates run high compared to most local alternatives. For example, this type of care costs about $230 more than home health care, an option for seniors seeking skilled nursing services in their own homes. In-home care, which features private nonmedical custodial care at home, costs approximately $4,290 per month, and seniors without memory impairments pay $3,845 for assisted living, which includes housing, personal care, meals and recreation. Adult day health care rates trend even lower, with seniors saving about $3,480 per month by opting for nonresidential daytime services in a community setting instead of memory care. However, nursing home care rates run higher than memory care costs at $7,528 for 24-hour medical care.
