What to Consider About Assisted Living in Stoneham
Stoneham is a small town just nine miles north of Boston. A quaint downtown, family atmosphere and close proximity to the state capital make the city ideal for seniors who want to retire. To accommodate these seniors, there are 39 assisted living facilities in the area. Also referred to as assisted living residences (ALRs), these communities provide a safe and caring environment for those who need help with daily living tasks.
ALRs are regulated by the Executive Office of Elderly Affairs (EOEA). The city and the state of Massachusetts also offer adult foster care (AFC), which is for seniors and those with disabilities who want to live in a family setting rather than in a nursing home or other community facility.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Stoneham
- The cost of living index in Stoneham is 163, which is considerably higher than the national average of 100. Seniors on a budget who are paying for assisted living in the city may find it difficult to save money or pay for additional accessories.
- The city of Stoneham has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital in Winchester.
- Seniors can feel safe while living in Stoneham due to a low crime rate. Based on a scale from one (low) to high (100), property crime is ranked 19.4, and violent crime is ranked 11.4, which are compared to the national averages of 35.4 and 22.7 respectively.
- Winters are long and cold in Stoneham with average January lows around 17 degrees. Summers are hot and humid with average summer highs around 82 degrees. The city also gets around 51 inches of snow per year, which may be unsuitable for seniors who don’t enjoy the colder temperatures.
- The Stoneham Senior Center offers transportation services on select days and times for seniors who want to take part in activities. Scheduled rides may be requested for outings, medical appointments and grocery shopping.
- Stoneham has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Stoneham Council on Aging, which provides programs, services and activities for seniors in the area, as well as one senior center.
Note: Data reported on this page was updated in 2019 and based on the latest 2018 figures.
