The city offers affordable health care and access to high-performing hospitals, such as Sturdy Memorial Hospital and The Miriam Hospital in nearby Providence, Rhode Island, making it a good option for older adults managing chronic conditions.

The Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey indicates that this level of care is costly in Attleboro, with seniors paying approximately $9,733 per month for services. Older adults who only need personal care services or short-term or intermittent skilled nursing services may save thousands of dollars monthly by opting for in-home care or assisted living.
