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.  Â
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).Â
