What to Consider About Assisted Living in Somerville
Somerville, Mass., the recipient of the All-America City Award in 2015 is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the nation and one of the most densely populated cities in New England. Located two miles north of Boston, seniors, who make up 10 percent of the population in Somerville, have much to explore. This includes two assisted living residences in Somerville, with another 55 nearby in surrounding communities including Brighton, Chestnut Hill, Newton and Watertown. Each of these facilities provides aging adults with personal care services and assistance with the activities of daily living, such as grooming, bathing and medication management, all within a secure and comfortable residential setting.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Somerville
- Somerville's weather is hot during the summer, though the southern part of the community, which is near Boston's Back Bay, may enjoy cooler ocean breezes. Winters are cold with occasional heavy snow and rain, and fog is common at all times of the year.
- The greater Somerville and Boston area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- While Somerville's cost of living is 78.70 percent higher than the national average, it's lower than the cost of living in neighboring communities such as Cambridge or Boston itself, making it an affordable location for those that want to stay in the area.
- Somerville has an array of community resources for seniors, including Citizens Energy Corporation, an organization that provides financial assistance to older adults who can't pay their heating bills, as well as three senior centers.
- Somerville residents enjoy easy access to the arts and culture of Boston, which include a wealth of museums, live theater and concerts from the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Boston Pops, among others. Closer to home, the Somerville Arts Council supports local artists exploring puppetry, street art and other pursuits.
- The state of Massachusetts is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
