Projections suggest a 21.7% rise in Alzheimer’s cases among California seniors between 2020 and 2025. This trend has potential implications for cities such as Escondido, CA, where individuals aged 65 or over make up 14.1% of its 150,270 residents. According to CDC figures, the surge in Alzheimer’s-related deaths from 2016 to 2020 in the city was 10.79%, less than the overall death toll growth of 16.88% during the same period. Given that the prevalence of memory impairments increases as the U.S. population continues to age, the importance of accessible dementia care options cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, memory care communities offer a solution for individuals with Alzheimer’s. They provide round-the-clock supervision, therapeutic activities and cognitive treatments that can help slow the progression of dementia. Assistance with meals, medication and other daily tasks is also typically available.
This guide provides information about retirement living in Escondido, focusing on the benefits and drawbacks it offers to individuals seeking long-term care. It also shares a list of helpful programs and financial assistance options for those moving into or already in memory care communities.

READ MOREThe Community Care Licensing Division, which is part of the Department of Social Services, licenses and monitors memory care communities throughout California. The agency enforces state regulations and conducts periodic inspections, which helps ensure that residents with cognitive impairments, such as Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, receive appropriate health care services and are safe.
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.
