What to Consider About Assisted Living in Danvers

Danvers, MA, is located on the northeastern coast of Massachusetts. Its population as of July 2017 is estimated to be 27,558 people, 21.3 percent of whom are age 65 or over. To help support this population of seniors, there are 41 assisted living facilities in the Danvers area, with three located in Danvers and another 38 located in nearby communities, such as Wilmington, Burlington, Lynnfield, Beverly and Peabody.

In Massachusetts, assisted living facilities are officially known as Assisted Living Residences, or ALRs. The state's Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA) is responsible for the regulation and certification of ALRs.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Danvers

  • Danvers has a relatively comfortable year-round climate. Spring, summer and fall are the most pleasant times of the year, as the average high in July is around 82 degrees and the area has an average of 201 sunny days a year. Winters can be a bit challenging for seniors, as Danvers averages about 42 inches of snow each year.
