The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Daly City, CA for 2023

Daly City is a safe community, part of the greater San Francisco Bay area, located on California's Pacific coast. This is a state where over 650,000 residents have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease or another memory impairment. Daly City's population of 106,000 includes 17,000 seniors aged 65 and older, an age group particularly vulnerable to dementia. To care for those with the condition, Daly City has sixteen memory care facilities and there are dozens more in the greater San Francisco area. 

The California Department of Social Services regulates and licenses memory care facilities, both those exclusively dedicated to dementia treatment and those that are a separate part of a larger assisted living community. 

• Residents of Daly City enjoy moderate temperatures year-round, with breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean to help regulate temperatures and decrease the dryness in the air, even in the summer.

• Housing costs in Daly City, at more than 5 times the U.S. average, account for the high cost of living in the suburb.
