READ MOREThe Maryland Health Care Commission implements licensing requirements for memory care facilities statewide. This agency also performs inspections and maintains a quality reporting system to address health and safety concerns in dementia care communities.
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 facilities in Bowie charge $5,938 monthly on average, but this figure can increase or decrease depending on location and amenities.
Memory care in Bowie is affordable compared to Maryland's statewide norm, averaging 9.48% less monthly. However, the city's rates are about 5.5% higher than the U.S. average, and the nearby city of Hagerstown is notably cheaper at $5,788 monthly. Still, Bowie costs less than most Maryland cities. Seniors in Cumberland pay about $622 more monthly than those in Bowie, while memory care residents in Salisbury pay about $287 more.

Memory care costs about $5,938 monthly in Bowie, reflecting its high-level support and security. Seniors who don't need dementia care can consider assisted living, which provides personal support in a residential setting for about $1,188 less than memory care. Nursing home care, also in a residential setting, is about 81.8% costlier than memory care due to intensive medical services. While adult day health care provides medical support, it's considerably cheaper than memory care at $1,927 as the scope of services is much more limited. Alternatively, seniors who want to age in place can consider in-home care, which costs 16.5% less than memory care, or home health care, which is also more economical at $5,053.
