What Is the Cost of Memory Care in the US and How Wearable Devices Work for Remote Healthcare for Seniors with Dementia or Disabilities in the US?

Have you ever heard that a smart GPS watch may increase the independence, autonomy, and freedom of some people with early-to-moderate-stage dementia and reduce caregivers' anxiety and stress? Plus, a GPS watch with geofencing settings, emergency button, vital signs, and fall alarm may help caregivers and emergency responders to quickly locate and ensure the safety of people who wander.

In recent years, memory care seems to be more crucial for individuals with dementia, and it doesn't come cheap. The national average cost for memory care in the United States is US$6,935 per month, but costs can vary depending on the level of care required. In Florida, on average, memory care can cost anywhere between US$2,400 and US$6,000 per month depending on the level of services needed and the community's location. Monthly fees typically cover accommodations, meals, medical supervision, and personal assistance with bathing and dressing. However, in New York City, memory care services in NYC cost around US$7,188 per month, which is US$1,463 more than the state average and US$1,563 more than the national average.


Though memory care facilities can provide 24-hour supervised care for patients suffering from all stages of Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, not every one can addord such huge costs while away from beloved aging parents. You know what? Recently has shown that the average life expectancy figures for the most common types of dementia are as follows:

Alzheimer's disease – around 8 to 10 years. Life expectancy is less if the person is diagnosed in their 80s or 90s. A few people with Alzheimer's live for longer, sometimes for 15 or even 20 years!

 

Since then, how can we prevent from huge costs while taking care of those who suffer from dementia in the US? Recently, a Taiwanese supplier offers a wearable assistive device which can support dementia care services. While we are far away from aged parents, we may order the anti-lost tracker GPS watch on AMAZON for our parents.
