Alzheimer’s disease, as well as other forms of dementia, can have a serious impact on daily life for seniors, including keeping up on personal hygiene and remembering important dates. Unfortunately, Grants Pass is no different and has even seen a slight rise in Alzheimer’s-related deaths from 2014 to 2018, according to the CDC. In 2014, the number of Alzheimer’s-related deaths accounted for 4.38% of overall deaths and by 2018, 4.89% of all deaths were Alzheimer’s-related, showing an increase of 17.50% over those 4 years while the overall deaths only increased by 5.14%.

These programs and services, many of which can be accessed through the county’s Senior & Disability Services, are designed to help seniors better understand their long-term care options and improve their quality of life, whether they are looking for a memory care facility or a local support group. In this guide, we’ll also discuss the average cost of memory care in the Grants Pass area and compare it to top cities throughout the state.

In most cases, the cost of memory care is 20-30% higher than the cost of memory care. While there is no reputable source on memory care pricing in the United States, we added 25% to the assisted living costs provided by the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey to estimate memory care averages in Grants Pass and other cities in Oregon. The higher costs reflect the higher level of attention to residents’ mental wellbeing as much as their physical health. Typically offered in assisted living facilities, memory care staff are specially trained to de-escalate anxiety in residents and encourage individuality.
