Caring's Family Advisors are here to help you with questions about senior living and care options.
Portage is located in Columbia County, Wisconsin and is home to more than 10,000 residents. A significant portion of the area's population consists of seniors aged 65 and older, many of whom require advanced care for dementia disorders such as Huntington's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease, the latter of which affects an estimated 110,000 seniors in Wisconsin.
There are two memory care facilities in the Portage area that provide residential dementia care to seniors. These facilities are officially considered assisted living facilities and are subject to similar rules as those facilities that offer only basic assisted living services to seniors. As such, both levels of care are often provided in the same location. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is responsible for regulating and monitoring all types of long-term senior care in the state.
Memory Care costs in Portage start around $3,500 per month on average, while the nationwide average cost of memory care is $5,694 per month.
It’s important to note that memory care rates in Portage and the surrounding suburbs can vary widely based on factors such as location, the level of care needed, apartment size and the types of amenities offered at each community.
