Wareham is a pleasant and peaceful Plymouth County town at the head of Buzzards Bay, known as the gateway to Cape Cod and often included among the cape’s towns. According to the 2020 Census, it is home to 23,303 residents — 26.5% of which are age 65+. This is significantly more than the national average of 16.8%, which may reflect the town’s appeal to older citizens. There is a strong sense of community in Wareham, with neighbors often joining together in local traditions, such as the Blessing of the Fleet and the Christmas Parade. The primary medical facility in Wareham is Tobey Hospital, but seniors don’t have far to travel for alternatives, such as Cape Cod Hospital and Israel Deaconess Hospital-Plymouth.
