What to Consider About Memory Care in Haverhill
Haverhill is located north of Boston, Massachusetts, a state with over 130,000 diagnosed Alzheimer's and dementia patients. Haverhill itself has a population of 63,000, 13 percent of whom are seniors over 65. Many of these seniors may have Alzheimer's or dementia and need care in one of the city's 30 memory care facilities.
Memory care facilities are regulated by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, which requires certain security measures for residents, staff-to-patient ratios and around-the-clock supervision. This includes both assisted living facilities that have separate memory care wings as well as Alzheimer's-only treatment centers, referred to as Dementia Special Care Units (DSCUs). Other memory care facilities attached to assisted living communities are called Special Care Residences (SCR).
- Haverhill residents, like all those in Massachusetts, are not subject to a state tax on Social Security income or disability benefits. This may be helpful as families budget money for a loved one's memory care fees. In addition, there are several other exemptions for seniors and those with a qualifying disability.
-
Weather in Haverhill means cold, snowy winters with January lows in the teens and an average of 55 inches of snow per year. Summers are warm, with July high temperatures averaging 82 degrees. Seniors who are sensitive to high heat may be comfortable here, although those in memory care with health conditions aggravated by cold may be uncomfortable.
- The Haverhill area is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Holy Family Hospital and Tewkesbury Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
-
Haverhill's cost of living is higher than the national average, mostly due to housing costs 60 percent higher than the national average. This may affect memory care fees, as the cost of operations in these facilities might increase. Healthcare costs, however, are nearly 20 percent lower than the U.S. average, which may benefit seniors in memory care.
