Memory care in Richmond costs an average of $6,126 per month. While higher than the national average, it’s a less expensive option than some communities in Virginia. Memory care includes an enhanced level of care and programming compared to traditional assisted living, so costs are often 20-30% higher. Specific memory care data is not available, so these costs were calculated by using assisted living costs as reported by Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey 2021, plus 25%.
Richmond is an affordable option compared to other cities in Virginia such as Charlottesville ($7,125) and Roanoke ($7,406). However, there are less expensive options, including Lynchburg at an average of $5,781 per month and Virginia Beach at $5,683.
