READ MOREAlzheimer’s, a degenerative disease that primarily affects those aged 65 and over, ranks as the sixth leading cause of death in Oregon. As the state’s population continues to age, the Alzheimer’s Association predicts a 22% increase in Alzheimer’s diagnoses in the coming years, heightening the need for effective dementia care solutions. In Lake Oswego, where 22% of residents are at least 65 years old, local trends align with the Alzheimer's Association’s projections. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of Alzheimer’s-related deaths in the Lake Oswego region climbed by 24% between 2016 and 2020. This increase drove the 10% uptick in the number of deaths from all causes during that period.
Fortunately, Lake Oswego has several memory care facilities for seniors with all stages of memory loss. These communities have specially trained caregivers who provide personalized services, reassurance and around-the-clock monitoring. They also feature evidence-based therapies and programs, and many have support groups and activities for families.
This guide includes details on how much memory care in Lake Oswego costs, and it highlights helpful local resources.

READ MOREThe Oregon Department of Human Services, which licenses and regulates all residential care communities in Lake Oswego and the rest of the state, officially recognizes memory care facilities as community-based care facilities. This department has a unique set of rules for memory care communities related to move-in and move-out criteria, security, services and staffing.
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.
Seniors in Lake Oswego pay $6,219 per month for residential memory care services.
