Memory care requires a larger staff to resident ratio and additional training to ensure the safety of all the residents, therefore the cost is usually higher than other communities. According to Genworth.com, in 2012, the U.S. national average cost of memory care for a single resident was almost $5,000 a month. This cost does vary widely by care facility, however. For example, some communities were as low as $1,500 per month and other communities as high as $7,000 per month.

Beyond that, however, costs are figured a bit differently for the two types of care. Assisted living communities generally charge a base monthly rate, which covers room and board with two to three meals per day.
