READ MOREMemory care communities in Margate obtain licensing and support through the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, which provides oversight and sets minimum operating standards. This department publishes rules related to minimum staffing and staff training requirements, dementia-specific services and the scope of care facilities must provide. It also investigates reports of abuse or neglect.
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 Margate, the baseline rate for local memory care services comes in at $5,481.
