Memory care facilities in The Woodlands are regulated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. It issues licenses to those that satisfy strict rules relating to resident care and fire safety. The department also conducts unannounced inspections and investigates complaints to ensure licensed facilities continue to uphold standards. It can revoke licenses from underperforming facilities.
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 median fee for memory care in The Woodlands is $5,306 per month, although each facility has unique price points.
