READ MOREIn Orange County, as in the rest of California, memory care facilities follow regulations set by the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division. This division ensures quality care for residents by conducting regular inspections and criminal background checks of facility employees.
Orange County residents with dementia obtain residential memory care services in assisted living facilities that are specially licensed to provide this level of care. On average, dementia services cost 20-30% more than assisted living due to additional licensing requirements, caregiver training and dementia-informed programming. Nationwide memory care cost data isn’t available, so we add 25% to the assisted living rates in Genworth’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey to estimate monthly costs.
In Orange County, memory care costs $6,563, which is equal to the state median but almost $1,000 higher than the national average ($5,625). Costs are significantly higher in San Francisco ($7,899) and Santa Rosa ($8,810). Memory care is much more affordable in Fresno ($4,875) and Stockton ($4,561).
