READ MOREFlorida’s Bureau of Health Facility Regulation oversees the state’s memory care facilities. This agency licenses memory care facilities as assisted living facilities with specialty services. This ensures that staff members are trained to assist people with memory loss and that communities provide the proper security and environment to maintain residents’ safety and meet needs.
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.
Memory care in Deltona averages about $4,969 per month, although costs may vary according to the levels of care and amenities offered by particular communities.
Deltona’s memory care communities charge less for their services than the national average of $5,625 and even the Florida state average of $5,000. Compared to costs in other Florida cities, memory care in Deltona falls at the lower end of the cost spectrum. Tampa’s rates come in nearly $800 lower than those in Deltona, but prices in Miami are over $500 higher. Rates in Tallahassee and Jacksonville are higher yet, at $5,813 and $5,825, respectively.
