Attleboro has been called “the Jewelry Capital of the World” for the high concentration of jewelry manufacturers in this southern suburb of Boston. As a largely residential community of 45,000 people, 14% of them seniors aged 65 and over, Attleboro has several public parks and crime rates well under half the national average. Seniors in Attleboro who own a home in town may face a high overall cost of living that’s 19% higher than the national average, though healthcare at local facilities such as Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital can be up to 16% less expensive than the rates seniors pay nationally. Attleboro is close to the ocean, and as a result, it enjoys a largely stable and mild summer climate, where the average daily highs reach the low 80s.
Seniors in Attleboro pay an average monthly cost of $5,434 for homemaker help and $5,482 for home health aides, according to the 2019 Genworth Cost of Care Survey. These rates are equivalent to $28.50 and $28.75 an hour, respectively. Seniors nationwide pay significantly less for similar services. Homemakers nationwide cost $4,290 a month, or $22.50 an hour. Home health aide services cost $4,385 a month or $23.00 an hour nationally. Across the country, in-home nursing care costs an average of $87.50 a visit.
Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Attleboro, so data for the closest city, Boston, was used.

MeetCaregivers is a fabulous agency. They are responsive and sensitive to the needs of the client and family, and work hard to find the right match(es).
For example, my mother was extremely hard of hearing and needed caregivers who could speak slowly and repeat if needed, requiring a lot of patience. She also did not want to be "bossed around," which was difficult when she insisting on doing things that were unsafe for her. Her caregivers were very respectful and handled these situations with professionalism and grace.
When my mother declined quickly and was bedridden for over a week before her death, her devoted caregivers transitioned seamlessly to changing her diapers and giving her bed baths. I was impressed by their wide range of skill sets and their compassion and support as our family went through a difficult time. They became like family to us, staying later and doing extra when needed.
I would recommend MeetCaregivers without reservation for anyone seeking care.

I hired Senior Helpers Southeastern Massachusetts for my husband. I have had 3 different caregivers from them. They took him outside for a walk, they help him go to the bathroom and they did a little housework for me. The one I had last Thursday was a very knowledgeable caregiver and very experienced. I am mostly happy with the service, although it’s not a hundred percent. I would like to meet the caregiver first, because it’s kind of difficult because when a new person is coming I didn’t know anything about them.

I contacted Independence Home Care because my mother needed very special care. My mother received excellent care from IHC. I had heard about Independence Home Care from MIT University, they told me IHC had excellent services and I found out that they were very much right. I would go back to Independence Home Care if I ever need services again. I can not say enough wonderful things about IHC. They are very professional, caring about the client and the family’s needs. When I needed to leave my mother I was very happy to do so with Independence Home Care. Myself and my family will always be grateful to Joan and Ann for all the kindness and great assistance they have shown my mother.

Attleboro Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Attleboro:

Seniors can get their homes ready for the Massachusetts winter in Attleboro with free home inspections and assistance weatherizing their houses from the Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP).

To be eligible, seniors in Attleboro must own their home and meet income and asset limitations.
Address: 600 Washington St., Boston, MA 02111
Phone: (617) 204-3600
Attleboro seniors can get needed home improvements made at significant discounts through the Home Modification Loan Program (HMLP).

Seniors in the program must meet income and asset limitations, as well as reside in the state and be unable to obtain a traditional home improvement loan or home equity line of credit to make the repairs. Repair work must be authorized by the program, and services include any needed home upgrade for improved safety and accessibility.

Seniors enrolled in the program can save up to 30% on their monthly heating and cooling bills, as well as find help getting energy-efficient home appliances, weatherize their homes or prevent disconnections with one-time cash aid. Eligible seniors must meet residency, income and asset limitations to enroll in the program.

The program also helps caregivers get training and respite care. Seniors raising grandchildren can also get assistance finding education, personal care and benefits they may be eligible for from a program worker.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
