How much does memory care cost in Greenville?
The median cost of assisted living in South Carolina is $5,350 a month ($64,200 a year), below the national median of $6,200. That’s CareScout’s 2025 survey, collected July to November 2025. 2 Greenville communities publish a starting price on Lilisity, from $5,515 to $7,490 a month. If more care is needed: nursing home costs in South Carolina, 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.
