What to Consider About Assisted Living in Norton

Norton is a small town in Massachusetts 40 miles from Boston with a history stretching back to colonial times. It's home to Wheaton College and hosts the Dell Technologies Championship match of the PGA Tour each Labor Day.  The population of Norton is just 19,400, 14.8 percent of whom are seniors over 62. There are 15 assisted living facilities in Norton to serve these seniors. The State of Massachusetts regulates assisted living facilities via the Executive Office of Elder Affairs

  • The cost of living in Norton is 125.7 compared to a U.S. average of 100. Housing costs are the biggest factor in the difference — at 185 versus the U.S. average of 100, this may increase assisted living costs. Grocery and health care costs fall more in line with the rest of the country at 105.7 and 84.
  • Crime rates in the U.S. are measured on a scale of 1 to 100, with 1 being the safest. Violent crime rates in Norton are 18 compared to the U.S. average of 31.1. Property crimes are also much lower, at 17.7 compared to the national average of 38.1. It's a safe community, but seniors are advised to use care and common sense when traveling to Boston.

  • Norton is home to world-class medical facilities, including Sturdy Memorial Hospital and Morton Hospital in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
