What to Consider About Memory Care in Brockton
The city of Brockton, which has a population of nearly 96,000 people, is situated in the central region of Massachusetts. According to the Alzheimer's Association, about 120,000 of the state's residents have Alzheimer's, a disease which primarily affects those age 65 and over. In Brockton, seniors make up nearly 13 percent of the population.
To meet the needs of seniors with dementia, Brockton has one memory care facility, and there are nine more scattered across Plymouth County. In this city, as in the rest of the state, these facilities are officially called special care residences and may either be independent or located within an assisted living facility.
- Brockton's air quality is good, which may be beneficial for seniors who have respiratory or cardiovascular illnesses. The American Lung Association gave Plymouth County a B for ozone pollution, and A for short-term particle pollution and a passing grade for annual particle pollution.
- Social Security benefits and income from public pensions are not subject to income tax in Massachusetts, but all other forms of retirement income are fully taxable. Families of seniors who draw income from retirement savings accounts or private pensions may want to speak to a tax professional to determine how the state's income tax will affect their memory care budget.
- While Brockton's living costs are higher than the average U.S. city, they are low compared to other Massachusetts cities. This, combined with its relatively low healthcare costs that are 16 percent below the national average, may make this city a good choice for families with a tight memory care budget.
- Brockton's summers are pleasant with highs in the low-80s. Winters can be harsh, however, with lows in the teens and 48 inches of annual snowfall on average. This may be a consideration for families who will be driving through the region to visit their loved one in a local memory care facility.
