Assisted living facilities with memory care must pass additional certification and licensing standards through the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) department. This agency is responsible for facility licensing and performs regular and unannounced visits to ensure the Texas rules and regulations for long-term memory care are followed.
The Genworth Cost of Care Survey doesn’t list memory care costs. However, memory care runs 20 to 30% higher when considering the additional services needed. With this in mind, 25% was added to the cost of assisted living to arrive at the averages for memory care. Frisco’s monthly cost for memory care averages $5,244, higher than Texas at $4,998 and lower than the national average of $5,625.
Frisco’s average monthly cost for memory care of $5,244 is similar to nearby cities such as Killeen to the south averaging $5,271 and College Station at $4,998. Lower costs for memory care are found in Waco, averaging $3,500 and Abilene to the west with an average of $4,311.
