Valparaiso, better known as Valpo, is a quaint community of approximately 34,565 located near the sand dunes of Lake Michigan. Although seniors represent over 17% of the population, the city experiences fewer than 100 deaths related to Alzheimer's annually, according to the CDC. While the number of dementia-related fatalities increased by 8% between 2016 and 2020, this is minimal compared to the 42% surge in total deaths. However, these numbers may change in the future since the Alzheimer's Association projects that more than 130,000 Hoosiers will be living with memory loss by 2025.
Although newly approved medications can slow the progression of early-stage Alzheimer's, seniors may benefit from residential dementia care at some point. Memory care facilities provide a safe, secure environment with specialized staffing and appropriate activities designed to support maximum cognitive function.
This guide provides a complete overview of memory care options in Valparaiso, including average prices, local providers and area amenities. It also includes information about financial assistance programs and local organizations that focus on supporting Alzheimer's patients and their families.

This agency also inspects and oversees residential care facilities in Valparaiso and communities statewide to ensure uniform quality of care standards.
Â
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.
Seniors in Valparaiso can expect to pay about an average of $4,521 for memory care, including accommodations, meals, therapeutic activities and specialized staffing.Â

Memory care costs 25% more than assisted living at an average of $4,521 versus a median $3,617, but it's not the most expensive type of long-term care. Seniors who have ongoing medical needs or require rehabilitative therapy can expect to pay around $8,456 per month for skilled nursing. In-home care typically costs $1,100 more per month than memory care depending on how many hours of support are provided, and this is before regular living expenses and household maintenance are factored in.
