What to Consider About Assisted Living in Chelsea

Chelsea's Recreation & Cultural Affairs Division offers a range of free and low-cost programs for people of all ages, providing area seniors with enhanced opportunities for socialization and activity. Chelsea is home to three assisted living residences, as assisted living facilities are known in Massachusetts, with another 104 in nearby communities such as Quincy, Danvers and Brighton. These assisted living facilities all provide room and board in a secure residential setting. They also offer seniors the personal care services they need, providing assistance with medication management, dressing, bathing and grooming.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Chelsea

  • The cost of living in Chelsea is 34.6 percent higher than the national average, although it's significantly lower than the cost of living in nearby Boston or Cambridge, making the area an economical choice for seniors wanting to remain in the region.

  • The Chelsea and greater Boston area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Massachusetts General, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Chelsea weather tends to be hot during the summer, though sticky summer heat is often mitigated by refreshing breezes off the ocean thanks to Chelsea's seaside location at the top of Boston Bay. Winters are cold, with heavy snow and rain as well as seasonal "nor'easter" storms blowing down the coast, so seniors may not be able to enjoy outdoor activities year round.

  • Chelsea has an array of community resources for seniors, including the city's Elder Affairs Division, an organization that provides seniors with help with health insurance issues and offers exercise and arts classes through the Chelsea Senior Center.

  • The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority serves the people of Chelsea with seven local bus lines, and Chelsea is also a stop on the Newburyport/Rockport line of the MBTA's commuter rail line. Seniors can travel at reduced prices with a Senior CharlieCard.

  • The entire state of Massachusetts is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
