READ MOREIn Broward County, memory care facilities are licensed as assisted living facilities and are regulated by the Agency for Health Care Administration’s Long-Term Care Services Unit. This agency conducts regular inspections to ensure memory care facilities comply with safety and quality standards. It also provides up-to-date information on Medicaid waivers that may help cover care costs.
In Broward County, residential memory services are available in licensed assisted living facilities. Reliable cost data isn’t available, but on average, dementia services cost 20-30% more than standard assisted living. To calculate the following memory care rates, we’ve added 25% to the assisted living costs in the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey.
In Broward County, memory care residents pay $5,481 per month on average for services. This is higher than the state median of $5,000, but it’s affordable compared to the national rate of $5,625. While several cities in Florida have lower residential memory care costs, such as the Tampa area where seniors pay $4,188, Broward County is a cost-effective alternative to many other major cities. In the Naples area, rates are over $1,000 higher at $6,625, and in the Crestview region, facilities charge $6,155. In Tallahassee, costs are more affordable but still exceed Broward County’s median at $5,813.
