There is no authoritative answer. CareScout does not survey memory care as a separate category, so no published median exists for Texas or Austin. Any memory care price quoted online is an estimate. Memory care typically prices above standard assisted living because of staffing ratios and secured building requirements.
The detail behind the number
No honest answer exists, and that is worth saying plainly. CareScout does not survey memory care as a separate category — not for Texas, not nationally — so there is no published median to cite.
What can be said is directional. Memory care generally prices above standard assisted living in the same market because staffing ratios are higher and the building must meet secured physical plant requirements for Alzheimer's certification. The Texas assisted living median of $5,666 is a floor to reason from, not an estimate.
Every memory care price you find online is an extrapolation. We could publish one and it would rank. It would also be invented, and families make six-figure decisions on these pages.
