What to Consider About Memory Care in Malden
Malden, population 61,000, is an affluent, family-friendly community that is part of the greater Boston, Massachusetts, metro area. This state estimates over 130,000 of its residents have Alzheimer's disease or dementia, and many of Malden's 7,300 over-65 residents make up part of this number. To care for these folks, there are 50 memory care facilities in Malden and 60 more in the Boston area.
In Malden, and all of Massachusetts, memory care facilities are regulated by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. In order to work in an Alzheimer's or dementia care facility, employees are required by state law to undergo specific training for these conditions. Memory care facilities in Massachusetts can either be separate wings of an assisted living campus or a facility devoted entirely to memory care. Stand-alone memory care facilities are referred to as Dementia Special Care Units (DSCUs). Other memory care facilities attached to assisted living communities are called Special Care Residences (SCR).
- The state of Massachusetts does not tax Social Security income, which may leave more money available for families budgeting for memory care costs. Other tax breaks include an over-65 state tax exemption, as well as several other exemptions for seniors and those with a qualifying disability.
- Malden residents enjoy all four seasons. Winters are cold and often snowy, which may aggravate some health conditions for those in memory care. Summers are warm and may be more comfortable for aging joints.
- Malden's cost of living is higher than the U.S. average, mainly due to high housing costs. This may increase the cost of operations for memory care facilities, something families on a budget should take into account.
- Malden, as part of the greater Boston area, is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
