Licensed facilities across the KC metro — Missouri and Kansas.
Memory care is a secured setting built specifically for people living with Alzheimer's or another dementia. Staffing ratios are higher, the environment is designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, and activities are structured to meet residents where they are. It fits someone whose safety, exit-seeking, or behavioral needs have outgrown standard assisted living.
KC Senior Advisor tracks 4 licensed memory care communities across the Kansas City metro on both sides of the state line — 1 on the Missouri side (Jackson, Clay, Platte, and Cass counties) and 3 on the Kansas side (Johnson and Wyandotte counties). Typical cost in 2026: $4,500–$6,500/mo.
Memory care is licensed under the same authorities as assisted living — MO DHSS under RSMo Ch. 198 in Missouri, KDADS as an Adult Care Home under K.A.R. 26-39 in Kansas — but a secured dementia neighborhood typically carries a higher monthly rate. Some residents fund it through MO HealthNet MLTC or a KanCare HCBS waiver; many communities require a period of private pay first.
