Saint Louis is home to more than 300,000 residents, 12.6% of whom are people aged 65 and older. Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia affect an ever-growing share of seniors, especially in Saint Louis, claiming hundreds of lives on a yearly basis. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Alzheimer's deaths in Saint Louis rose 59.5% from 2014 to 2018, increasing from 469 to 748 per year. Over that same time frame, the overall death rate in Saint Louis only rose by 12.6%. Unfortunately, this indicates Alzheimer's disease is becoming an increasingly serious issue throughout Saint Louis.
On the bright side, there are dozens of memory care communities across Saint Louis that inhibit the impact of dementia and Alzheimer's on seniors. These programs provide personalized attention, stimulating activities, relaxing environments and around-the-clock security specifically designed for people struggling with memory loss. In this guide, you'll find loads of information about memory care in Saint Louis, including average memory care costs and local memory care resources. We'll also provide a directory of memory care communities in Saint Louis.
Saint Louis' SeniorScore is 78, which is significantly higher than the Missouri and national average of 72. The SeniorScore is split into four categories: Recreation & Leisure, Health & Safety, Finances and General Quality of Life. Saint Louis scored highest in Recreation & Leisure, earning a 74.
As far as Recreation & Leisure is concerned, seniors in Saint Louis have tons of resources at their fingertips. Its Recreation & Leisure score was high thanks to its 523 grocery stores, 255 fitness centers and 593 churches, all of which are incredibly high for a city of Saint Louis' size.
Saint Louis' second-highest categories were Health & Safety and General Quality of Life, both assessed at 69. The city was praised for having a very high number of home health providers and senior living facilities. Its Health & Safety score was also high thanks to the 31 hospitals in the Saint Louis Area, including Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St. Louis University Hospital and Missouri Baptist Medical Center. According to U.S. News, Barnes-Jewish Hospital is nationally ranked in 11 specialties. When it comes to General Quality of Life, Saint Louis accumulated points for its superb water quality, mild mean temperatures and average rainfall levels.
Assisted living, nursing home and home care costs were all lower than national averages. Saint Louis' property taxes averaged 2.81% of total income, slightly higher than the national average of 2.79%, giving seniors plenty of room to afford other living expenses. The Midwestern city was also praised for its very low overall cost of living. Despite these upsides, Saint Louis scored lowest in Finances due to the high city sales tax rate and an above-average state income tax rate.
In 2019, monthly memory care costs in Saint Louis averaged $4,810 per month. Although substantially higher than the Missouri state average of $3,601 per month, Saint Louis' memory care costs were still below the national average of $5,064 per month, making Saint Louis a relatively affordable place to settle down.
We based these calculations on the Genworth 2019 Cost of Care Survey. While memory care data is not assessed by Genworth, assisted living is, and memory care costs between 20% and 30% more than assisted living. As a result, we calculated these costs using a 25% markup on the median assisted living costs in an area.
Depending on the location, monthly memory care community costs can vary wildly across Missouri. For example, memory care costs in northeastern Missouri's St. Joseph were only $3,600 per month. In central Missouri's Jefferson City, memory care costs averaged $4,693.
Saint Louis has higher memory care costs than most cities throughout Missouri. Jefferson City and Columbia were only slightly lower at $4,693 and $4,688, respectively, but there is a significant drop for Springfield, which comes in at $4,136. Cape Girardeau is nearly $800 less than Saint Louis at $4,030. At the lowest end are Kansas City and St Joseph at $3,623 and $3,600, respectively — around 25% less than Saint Louis. Despite these high costs, seniors in Saint Louis may benefit from the city's low cost of living.
