READ MORELocated in the western region of Michigan, Holland is a welcoming community with a large senior community that makes up 17% of the city’s 34,000 residents. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention underscores the need for dynamic dementia care services by showing the impact memory-related disorders have on public health and life expectancy. In 2016, about 13% of deaths in the county were linked to Alzheimer’s. Four years later, it was the primary cause of death in 15% of cases. Between 2016 and 2020, Alzheimer’s-related deaths went up by 54%, compared to the total death rate increase of 34%.
Alzheimer’s care can become challenging as the condition progresses, making residential memory care services a practical solution for many seniors and families. Memory care facilities have teams of highly trained caregivers and promote an engaging lifestyle with evidence-based programming. To help families stay connected to their loved ones’ care, many facilities host regular events and support groups.
This guide outlines some of the most common ways seniors and families in Holland pay for residential dementia care. It also highlights some resources that can help individuals navigate the system and choose the best care options for their situation.

READ MOREMemory care services in Holland are typically provided in assisted living facilities, which are officially called adult foster care or homes for the aged. These facilities are licensed by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, which outlines the scope of care the facilities must provide along with rules related to staffing, care planning and dementia services.
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.
In Holland, memory care residents pay approximately $6,035 per month for housing and dementia services.
Memory care communities in Holland charge $6,035 monthly for care, which is well above the state average of $5,313 and the national average of $5,625. Seniors may save hundreds of dollars by opting for care in one of the nearby surveyed cities, including Kalamazoo, where rates average $5,438. In Muskegon, rates are about $1,000 less than in Holland, and seniors may save about $1,800 per month by opting for care in Battle Creek.
