How much does memory care cost in Asheville, NC?

The average starting cost of memory care in Asheville is $8,128 per month, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.^[01] This figure reflects starting base rent and may not include care fees, upgraded floor plans, certain amenities, or other extras. The final monthly amount can vary based on the community’s location, apartment size, your loved one’s needs, and the way services are priced.

While Asheville’s overall cost of living is about 4% higher than the national average and 10% higher than the North Carolina average, according to the Economic Research Institute,^[02] the city’s average cost for memory care is less expensive than both North Carolina’s state average of $7,410 and the national average of $6,999, making the city a strong choice for senior living.^[01] Housing and health care costs may influence what families pay for senior living in the area.

Starting costs generally rise with the amount of support provided. In Ashville, independent living averages about $3,749 per month, while assisted living averages about $4,475 per month. Memory care usually costs more because it includes dementia-trained staff, added supervision, structured programming, and safety features designed for people with memory loss.^[01]

Please note that the costs shown in the following bar charts are based on starting base rent and may not include fees for care services, certain amenities, or other extras.

How to pay for memory care in Asheville

Most families combine more than one source of funds to pay for memory care. Private income and assets are common starting points, while veterans benefits, North Carolina assistance programs, Medicaid, and Medicare may help with eligible care or medical expenses.

Private pay options

Families often use personal income and assets to cover monthly memory care costs. Common private pay options include:

Social Security benefits
Pension payments
Retirement account distributions (e.g., 401k, 401a and 403b, Roth, and others)
Health saving accounts
Long-term care insurance
Certain kinds of life insurance policies
Proceeds from selling a home or other real estate
Proceeds from a reverse mortgage

VA benefits

For Asheville families with a loved one who served in the military, veterans benefits may be an important part of the memory care payment plan. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers pension, health care, and disability programs that may help eligible veterans and surviving spouses offset care-related costs.

Common VA benefits that may help include:

Veterans Pension or Survivors Pension
Aid and Attendance benefit
VA health benefits
VA Disability Compensation
Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC)

Applying for VA benefits can take time, especially when families are gathering service records, medical documents, and financial information. A VA-accredited benefits counselor or local veterans service officer in the Asheville area can help your family understand eligibility, prepare the right forms, and reduce the risk of delays or denials.

Resources for veterans in Asheville

Asheville is home to about 3,900 veterans, almost 5% of the city’s population.^[03] Local and state resources can help families explore VA benefits, health care, and application support.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps people with limited income and assets pay for health care and long-term care. In North Carolina, the state Medicaid program is called NC Medicaid.

NC Medicaid generally does not pay for memory care room and board. However, eligible residents may receive Medicaid-covered health and personal care services in certain licensed adult care homes or other residential settings if the community accepts Medicaid and the resident meets program rules. Families should confirm coverage with NC Medicaid, the community, and the local Department of Social Services before relying on Medicaid as a payment source.^[04,05]

North Carolina also offers several programs that may help eligible seniors with long-term care costs, including:^[06,07,08]

Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA)
NC Medicaid for Aged, Blind, and Disabled residents
State/County Special Assistance, which may help eligible low-income residents pay for room and board in licensed adult care homes and other approved residential settings

Depending on the program and eligibility, coverage may include:

Support with activities of daily living (ADLs)
Personal care services
Physical, occupational, or speech therapy
Medical supplies and equipment
Care coordination and case management

Eligibility is based on income, assets, and documented medical need, and some programs may have enrollment limits or waiting lists.

Medicare

Medicare may still help pay for approved medical services your loved one receives while living in memory care. This can include:

Hospital stays
Doctor visits
Prescription medications

Other medically necessary care

What is memory care like in Asheville?

Memory care in Asheville includes stand-alone communities as well as dedicated memory care neighborhoods within larger assisted living campuses. Families may also find smaller adult care homes that support residents with dementia. The right setting depends on your loved one’s stage of memory loss, mobility, health needs, preferred daily routine, and comfort with a larger or more intimate environment.

Secure spaces with room to move

Memory care layouts are designed to make daily life easier to navigate while reducing the risk of a resident leaving the community unnoticed. Common features may include secured entrances, clear visual cues, simple hallways, enclosed courtyards, and indoor or outdoor walking areas. In Asheville, outdoor spaces can be especially appealing for families who want their loved one to enjoy mountain air, gardens, and seasonal scenery within a protected setting.

Personal care and health support

Staff members help residents with routines that may become difficult as dementia progresses, including bathing, dressing, meals, mobility, medication management, and continence care. Communities may also coordinate visiting nurses, therapists, hospice providers, or other health professionals. Families should ask how staffing changes overnight, how the team responds to falls or sudden confusion, and whether the community can continue meeting a loved one’s needs if mobility or health changes.

Familiar routines and engaging days

A predictable rhythm can help residents feel more comfortable. Asheville communities may build the day around meals, music, art, movement, devotional activities, gardening, games, and small-group social time. Some also organize supervised outings. The strongest programs adapt activities to each person’s history, abilities, and interests rather than expecting every resident to participate in the same way.

Options for couples and changing needs

Some Asheville communities provide assisted living and memory care on the same campus. This arrangement may help couples remain close when they need different levels of support. It can also reduce disruption if a resident later needs a secure memory care setting, although families should ask whether transfers depend on space, assessments, and the community’s ability to meet new care needs.

Unfamiliar with Asheville? Highlights for seniors

Asheville has about 95,000 residents, and adults 65 and older make up roughly 21% of the city’s population.^[03] Families searching for memory care can access a major regional hospital, rehabilitation and veterans health services, local aging resources, and calm destinations for shorter visits with a loved one.

Top hospitals for seniors in Asheville

Asheville’s health care network supports older adults managing memory changes, stroke recovery, heart conditions, mobility concerns, cancer, and other complex needs.

A graphic of a capital letter H in a circle

Mission Hospital provides emergency care, a Comprehensive Stroke Center, advanced cardiac care, cancer services, orthopedic care, surgery, and trauma services in Asheville.

CarePartners Rehabilitation Hospital provides inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, home health, hospice, and other post-hospital services for people recovering from illness, injury, stroke, or changes in mobility and daily function.

Charles George Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center provides primary, specialty, surgical, mental health, rehabilitation, and long-term support services for eligible veterans in Western North Carolina.

Transportation for seniors in Asheville

All of A Place for Mom partner memory care communities in Asheville offer complimentary transportation.^[01] Depending on the community, these rides may help residents get to medical appointments, pharmacies, errands, and supervised outings. Families can ask how often transportation is available, whether advance scheduling is required, and whether a staff member accompanies residents.

For outings with visiting family, Asheville Rides Transit (ART) operates local bus routes throughout the city. Mountain Mobility provides paratransit service for eligible people with disabilities and other transportation options for qualifying older adults.

A loved one living with dementia should be accompanied by a family member, caregiver, or community staff member when using public transportation or paratransit. These services can help families reach appointments and attractions, but they don’t provide dementia-focused supervision during the trip.

Things to do in Asheville for seniors and their families

Asheville offers gardens, museums, wildlife, music, and local history that can work well for a calm outing with a loved one in memory care. Shorter visits, familiar activities, quieter times of day, and a simple plan for meals and rest can make an outing more comfortable.

Gardens, wildlife, and mountain scenery

Asheville’s gardens and nature attractions give families flexible ways to enjoy fresh air and mountain scenery. Choosing a shorter route and allowing time to rest can help keep the experience relaxed.

The North Carolina Arboretum offers cultivated gardens, seasonal displays, nature exhibits, and places to pause. Families can choose a short garden route rather than trying to cover the larger trail system.
The Western North Carolina Nature Center features animals native to Southern Appalachia, including bears, otters, wolves, and farm animals. A short route focused on a few favorite habitats may be more comfortable than a full visit.
Botanical Gardens at Asheville provides a smaller natural setting near the University of North Carolina Asheville. Families may enjoy the garden entrance area, creek views, or a brief seasonal walk based on a loved one’s mobility and energy.

Art, history, and familiar local experiences

Museums and local events can offer visual interest, familiar objects, and opportunities for conversation. Families may want to focus on one exhibit, activity, or part of the venue rather than planning a full-day visit.

The Asheville Art Museum offers indoor galleries in the city center. A focused visit to one floor or exhibition can provide visual interest without making the outing too long.
The Asheville Museum of History at the Smith-McDowell House explores local history in one of Asheville’s oldest surviving homes. The familiar household objects and regional stories may encourage conversation and reminiscence.
McCormick Field can be an enjoyable choice for lifelong baseball fans. Families may prefer a daytime game, seats near an exit, or a shorter visit if crowds and noise become tiring.

Music and family support

Music can create opportunities for enjoyment and connection, while local support organizations can help families find education and guidance. Asheville offers both entertainment options and practical resources for people affected by dementia.

The Wortham Center for the Performing Arts presents music, theater, dance, and other performances in downtown Asheville. A familiar music program or shorter daytime event may suit a loved one who enjoys live entertainment.
Alzheimer’s Association Western North Carolina Chapter offers caregiver support groups, education programs, and local resources for families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.

Memory care laws and regulations in North Carolina

Memory care communities are generally regulated by state governments. This means that rules and operation requirements vary by state and by the type of care a community provides. Learning about how memory care is regulated can help you make informed care decisions.

Why do licensure and inspection reports matter to families?

State regulations — and a community’s track record with inspections and licensing — offer important insights into safety and quality of care in senior living communities.

Download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports to learn what to look for in inspection reports and what questions to ask when touring communities. This resource explains how to use state licensure and inspection information to evaluate a community’s compliance, care standards, and responsiveness to issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

The average starting cost of memory care in Asheville is $8,128 per month. This base rate may include housing, meals, supervision, and dementia-focused activities, but personal care fees and optional amenities may cost more.

No. Medicare does not pay for memory care housing or long-term nonmedical support. It may cover approved medical services your loved one receives, such as doctor visits, hospital care, prescriptions, therapy, cognitive assessments, or medical equipment.

Social Security does not provide a separate memory care benefit or pay a community directly. Families can use a loved one’s monthly Social Security income toward memory care rent, care fees, and other living expenses.

NC Medicaid may help eligible residents pay for personal care services in an adult care home, but it generally does not cover private memory care room and board. State/County Special Assistance may help some eligible residents with adult care home costs.
