When considering the financial aspect of memory care, it's vital to understand the costs associated with helping your loved one become part of a quality community. As costs keep increasing, it's imperative to stay updated when planning for senior care. To offer a clearer perspective on how inflation affects senior living costs, SeniorAdvice.com has amassed pricing data from its broad network of over 75,000 senior living communities. This information gives an insight into the average cost of memory care in Atlanta and 51 other cities in Georgia.
Despite the 10.5% increase in Atlanta's memory care, which pushed rates up to $3,800 per month from 2022 to 2023, the city remains relatively affordable. The United States as a whole experienced the same percentage increase. Georgia's average increased by only 4.5% in the last year, raising prices $180.
Memory care costs in Atlanta are expected to rise another 8% in 2024, tracking alongside the national average and other regional cities, such as Macon, Columbus and Savannah. Georgia's overall average is expected to fall by 1%, however. This makes financial planning even more important if relocation is a possibility.
