Memory Care: what you're actually buying
Memory care is a secured, structured setting with dementia-trained staff for residents who wander, need extra cueing, or are no longer safe in standard assisted living.
Pennsylvania has no separate memory-care license; dementia care is delivered within a Personal Care Home or Assisted Living Residence under the applicable chapter (55 Pa. Code Ch. 2600 or 2800), which require disclosure of the specific dementia-care services offered. A typical monthly range is $6,200 to $8,600 a month.
When you visit, look past the lobby and check these:
- that the specific secured unit is disclosed and staffed as a dementia-care setting
- how many dementia-training hours staff have completed, and how recently
- the awake-overnight ratio in the secured unit specifically
