What to Consider About Assisted Living in West Groton

West Groton, a small suburb of Boston, Massachusetts, is rich in precolonial and Revolutionary War history. Today, the picturesque town strives to preserve its rich history and scenic views, with emphasis on land conservation and open public green spaces and trails. The population of West Groton is just 11,000, 20.7 percent of whom are seniors over 60. There are 60 assisted living facilities in the greater Boston area to serve these seniors. 

The State of Massachusetts regulates assisted living facilities via the Executive Office of Elder Affairs. This body composes and enforces regulations, including the types of rooms and bathroom facilities and compliance with federal and state emergency evacuation requirements. Assisted living facilities must have a designated Service Coordinator responsible for overseeing patient care. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in West Groton

  • Weather in West Groton is characterized by warm summers and cold winters with plenty of snow. July high temperatures average 83 degrees, while January lows average just 14. Seniors who are sensitive to cold temperatures may not enjoy living here. 
  • West Groton's cost of living comes in at 150.6 compared to a base U.S. average of 100.  Housing costs make the biggest difference, at 225 compared to the average of 100. Healthcare and grocery costs are closer to the rest of the country, however, at 83 and 105.7 respectively, compared to the average of 100. Seniors on a fixed income may see higher board fees for assisted living, although those with chronic health conditions may see their health care costs drop.

  • Massachusetts does not tax Social Security income, which may leave more money available for assisted living costs. In addition, those over 65 may claim a state tax exemption, and there are several other exemptions for seniors and those with a qualifying disability. 
  • West Groton is home to world-class medical facilities, including Groton Health Center - Emerson Hospital and Nashoba Valley Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • West Groton, as a suburb of Boston, 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.
