What Influences the Cost of Dementia Care?

The cost of dementia care varies based on several important factors. Understanding each of these can help you choose the level of care that meets your loved one’s needs while staying financially manageable.

Type of Care Required

Individuals with dementia often need specialized care that includes emotional reassurance, behavior management, and close supervision. The cost of care increases when personal care services such as bathing, mobility support, and safety monitoring are added to basic companionship and assistance with daily tasks.

Frequency and Hours of Care

The more hours of care your loved one needs each week, the higher the overall cost will be. Some families require care only a few times a week, while others benefit from full-time or 24 hour dementia care. At SYNERGY HomeCare of Smithfield, we offer flexible scheduling so you can find a plan that meets your needs without overcommitting.

Level of Supervision and Customization

Dementia care often involves one-on-one supervision to prevent wandering or confusion. Our care plans are customized to each client’s stage of memory loss and preferred routines. The more specialized and comprehensive the care, the more tailored the pricing becomes.

Home Care Versus Facility Care

Many families are surprised to find that in-home dementia care can be more affordable than memory care facilities. With in-home care, you pay only for the services and hours your loved one actually needs. There are no added expenses for room, board, or facility fees.

Making Dementia Care Affordable

The cost of dementia care is an important part of your long-term planning. We are here to help you explore all available options and create a plan that balances quality and cost. Some common ways families pay for dementia care include:

Private pay using savings, retirement income, or family contributions
Long-term care insurance that includes memory care coverage
Veterans benefits for eligible individuals and their spouses
Medicaid programs which may cover some aspects of home care based on eligibility
Flexible care plans that allow families to adjust hours as needs change

Our care team can help you understand what programs may apply to your situation and guide you through each step of the process.
