In Hawaii, our geriatrician told me the cost of a memory care unit is $16,000 per month, but getting care in the home 24/7 is $24,000 per month. She said to be sure to use an agency whose staff are bonded and insured and to put a credit freeze in place.

I've always known Hawaii was expensive but those figures appear a "little" off. I would suggest verifying the amounts on your own. It's tough to believe home health aides make $288,000 a year. good luck

We paid $8,000/month at my Mom's memory care facility. $16,000/month seems high.
