How much does memory care cost in Eugene?
The median cost of assisted living in Oregon is $6,875 a month ($82,500 a year), above the national median of $6,200. That’s CareScout’s 2025 survey, collected July to November 2025. 4 Eugene communities publish a starting price on Lilisity, from $5,945 to $7,495 a month. If more care is needed: nursing home costs in Oregon, with CareScout medians and the private-pay rates nursing homes publish. Memory care usually costs more than assisted living, because of extra staffing and a secured setting, so treat the assisted living median as a floor.
Medicare does not pay for memory care. People pay from savings and income, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid and Attendance (up to $29,093 a year for a veteran in 2026), and some qualify for Medicaid help with care costs at communities that accept it. Who actually pays for long-term care.
