READ MOREIn the California community of Long Beach, Alzheimer's continues to be an ongoing concern among older adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 11% of deaths in the region in 2020 were attributed to Alzheimer's. This is consistent with the percentage of deaths related to this disease in 2016. During this four-year reporting period, the number of Alzheimer's-related deaths increased by 29%. Alzheimer's is primarily diagnosed in those aged 65 and older, an age group that makes up 12% of the city's 470,000 residents.
The Long Beach region supports seniors who need dementia care through several residential memory care facilities. In these long-term care communities, residents get access to individualized care plans, assistance with eating and mobility and 24-hour monitoring. The facilities are secured to prevent wandering, and they use evidence-based recreational programs and therapies to promote residents' engagement.
This guide for memory care in Long Beach outlines local monthly residential care costs and compares them to rates in other California cities, and it highlights options seniors and families may have for paying for care.

READ MOREThe Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division is responsible for long-term care facilities, such as memory care facilities, in the state of California, including Long Beach. It provides licensing and regulation for facilities and investigates complaints or concerns about quality of care.
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.
In Long Beach, seniors can expect to pay around $6,563 per month on average for memory care.
Memory care in Long Beach costs the same as the state average per month at $6,563, nearly $1,000 more than the national average, but is also mostly on par with surrounding areas.

In Riverside and Bakersfield, prices decrease to $5,000 and $4,688 per month.
