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 of memory care in Dayton is $5,313 per month, several hundred dollars less than both the Ohio and national averages.

| Miami Valley and Dayton Area - Alzheimer's Association | (937) 291-3332 | The Miami Valley and Dayton Area chapter of the Alzheimer's Association furthers the mission of the national organization by hosting local workshops, educational seminars and support groups for area seniors and their families.

The Ohio Department of Health regulates all residential care centers in the state, including memory care facilities. Every facility in Ohio receives at least one inspection every nine to 15 months. At each inspection, the DOH evaluates all aspects of the facility’s care and service to ensure they’re in accordance with state standards.
Canton Memory Care Communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all Memory Care Facilities in Ohio are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Ohio page for more information about these laws.
