What to Consider About Memory Care in Hingham

Hingham is a safe suburb of Boston, located along the seashore of Massachusetts. This is a state where over 130,000 residents have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Twenty-two percent of Hingham's population of 23,000 are seniors aged 65 and older — many of whom may comprise part of those memory condition cases and will need skilled care in one of the areas dozen memory care facilities. 

Memory care facilities are regulated by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, including licensing and staff training stipulations. Other regulations include around-the-clock supervision and security for residents. This includes assisted living facilities that have separate memory care wings and Alzheimer's-only treatment centers, referred to as dementia special care units (DSCUs). Other memory care facilities attached to assisted living communities are called special care residences (SCR). 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Hingham

  • Massachusetts does not levy a tax on Social Security income, something that Hingham residents and their families may appreciate when budgeting for memory care. In addition, there are several other tax exemptions for seniors and those with a qualifying disability. 
  • Weather in Hingham means cold, snowy winters with January lows in the teens and an average of 55 inches of snow per year. Summers are warm with July high temperatures averaging 82 degrees. Seniors who are sensitive to high heat may be comfortable here. 
  • Higham, as part of the greater Boston metro area, is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Holy Family Hospital and Tewkesbury Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • The cost of living in Hingham is more than double the national average largely in part to housing costs that are four times the rest of the United States. These higher costs may affect memory care facilities fees because the cost of operations may increase. Families budgeting for memory care will need to take this into account.
