What to Consider About Memory Care in Brighton
In Massachusetts, 130,000 or more residents have Alzheimer's, and that number is expected to grow to 150,000 by 2025. Brighton, which is a suburb of Boston, the state capital, is home to two memory care facilities, with 22 more located nearby. In Brighton, as in the rest of Massachusetts, memory care facilities are known as "Dementia Special Care Units," or DSCUs. It's estimated that approximately 11 percent of Boston's population is age 65 or over, including those in Brighton.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Brighton
- Boston's weather is relatively pleasant much of the year -- Brighton and other nearby neighborhoods experience four distinct seasons as much of New England does. However, in the winter, Boston averages about 52 inches of snow, well above the U.S. average of 26 inches. Family members searching for memory care facilities in Brighton may want to keep this in mind for seniors who may find winters challenging. The city also averages about 200 sunny days a year.
- The cost of living in Boston is relatively expensive -- on a cost of living index of 100, where 100 in the U.S. average, Boston is 181.6. Housing is the biggest factor affecting cost of living in this New England city, as average rents are well above national averages.
- Massachusetts is considered to be a relatively tax-friendly state -- it fully exempts Social Security benefits but taxes most other forms of retirement income, including withdrawals from retirement accounts and private pension income. Public pension income, however, is not taxed. This may leave more room in the budget for memory care.
- Brighton is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as St. Elizabeth's Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness. Many other world-class medical facilities are located nearby in Cambridge and Boston.
