What to Consider About Memory Care in Dartmouth

The coastal town of Dartmouth, Massachusetts, is home to about 35,000 people, more than a fifth of whom are age 65 or older. In Dartmouth and throughout Massachusetts, a growing number of seniors in this age group have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Across the state, one report estimates that as many as 130,000 seniors are affected by dementia. In the Dartmouth area, five memory care facilities provide memory care services to local seniors who are experiencing Alzheimer's disease and various forms of dementia. The state of Massachusetts calls these memory care facilities Dementia Special Care Units (DSCUs) and has established a special set of rules that they must follow to ensure residents' safety.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Dartmouth

  • Tax laws in Massachusetts give seniors several advantages over the general population. For one, the state does not tax Social Security income. Also, those age 65 or older are allowed a $700 exemption.
  • Dartmouth is more affordable for seniors than the average town in Massachusetts. The average cost of living in the state of Massachusetts is about 39 percent above the national average. By comparison, Dartmouth's living costs are only 27.9 percent above the national average.
  • Summers in Dartmouth are often sunny and warm, with highs in the low 80s. However, the town's cold, snowy winters with average low temperatures of just 22 degrees Fahrenheit may be hard on some seniors.
  • Dartmouth's overall crime rate, which includes both property and violent crimes, is below national and state averages. A resident's risk of being the victim of any type of crime in the city is about one out of 36. Around 79 percent of American cities are safer than Dartmouth, and around 92 percent of the state's towns and cities are considered safer.  

Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Dartmouth

Extremely under staffed. Many residences have fallen and become injured due to no staff. Be very careful. They only care about the money they receive not about the care they give
