Paying For Memory Care in Reston

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.

Expect to pay an average of $7,435 per month for memory care in the Reston area. This price could be more or less depending on the size of the community and the amenities it offers.

Free & Low-Cost Memory Care in Resources in Reston

There are a number of area and state organizations that provide supportive programs and services to seniors with memory loss, as well as their caregivers and families. Services include everything from medical equipment loans and transportation to support groups and social services. The following table lists some organizations seniors can lean on for additional assistance. 

What to Consider About Memory Care in Reston

The Virginia Department of Social Services oversees the licensing of assisted living and memory care communities, as well as adult day care centers. It also regularly monitors facilities to ensure they're keeping up with federal and local regulations and standards regarding staff orientation and training, reports of neglect and the safeguarding of residents' funds. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Reston

 

  • Health care is easily accessible to area seniors. The city is home to the Reston Hospital Center, and there are four additional hospitals within 10 miles. The United States has an average of 210 physicians per 100,000 people, but Reston far exceeds that at 299 doctors per 100,000. Of those physicians, more than 30 have a specialty in geriatrics, and close to 10 specialize in treating those with Alzheimer's. 
  • Reston's climate makes it ideal for those who enjoy warm summers and mild winters. The area enjoys an average of 197 sunny days per year, which offers residents plenty of opportunities for outdoor walks and other activities. Summer temperatures top off at around 86 degrees, while winter lows rarely dip to lower than 24 degrees. Though Reston sees snow in the winter, it averages just 22 inches per year, which is less than the national average.
  • On a 100-point scale, the cost of living in Reston is 137.4, which is higher than the state's rating of 104.2 and the country's rating of 100. The high costs are most likely due to the city's proximity to Washington, D.C., which is less than 25 miles away. It's also primarily driven by the cost of housing, which is almost double the national and state averages. Fortunately, this usually wouldn't apply to those who reside in a memory care community. 
  • As far as crime rates go, the Reston area is reasonably safe. On a scale of 100, the area's violent crime rate is just 19.6, which is much lower than the national average of 22.7. Property crimes, however, rank at 43.2, which is far higher than the country's rating of 35.4. These types of crimes shouldn't impact those who live in memory care communities, which usually put a high priority on safety. 
  • The median age for Reston's diverse population of over 60,000 is close to 40 years old, and more than half the population is married. This indicates a relatively quiet community where seniors should feel at home.
