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.
Compared to parts of Southern and Northern California where memory care costs can be costly, the central state city of Bakersfield represents value. At $4,688 per month, the cost of memory care in Bakersfield is much lower than the state and national average. Rates may vary depending on the facility that you choose.
