READ MOREThe Office of Health Care Assurance is a division within Hawaii’s Department of Health and is tasked with overseeing the general licensing and regulation of communities that provide memory care. Inspections are scheduled every two years with additional unannounced inspections conducted if there is a complaint or to ensure regulatory compliance.
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.
The average cost for memory care in Honolulu is $6,719 per month which is over $1,000 higher than the national monthly average of $5,625. Surprisingly, memory care costs on the west coastal mainland are higher than on the Islands.
With senior care prices calculated for only two cities in the state of Hawaii, Honolulu’s average monthly cost of $6,719 for memory care is higher than the $4,781 average price tag in Kahului on the island of Maui. Despite being higher than the national average, the cost seems much more reasonable when compared to two major cities in California, with Los Angeles offering slight savings at $6,563 and San Francisco averaging significantly higher at $7,899.
