What to Consider About Memory Care in Malden

Memory care communities in Massachusetts are licensed and regulated by the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA).

Families researching memory care can read inspection reports from the office, which makes inspection results public.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Malden

 

  • Malden has a generally high cost of living, especially when compared with the national average. On a scale where national costs are set to 100, Malden's average is 38% higher. Much of this is due to the local housing prices, however, which is less of a concern for seniors living full-time in dementia care communities.
  • Health care costs in Malden are around 17% lower than the national rates. There are 371 registered physicians in Malden for every 100,000 people. The equivalent national rate is just 210 doctors per 100,000 people.
  • Seniors in Malden have access to world-class health care at several facilities in nearby Boston, such as CHA Everett Hospital. Many local hospitals and medical centers offer comprehensive 24-hour emergency care and dedicated senior services, and many accept Medicare for payment.
  • Malden has a relatively low crime rate, especially for a community located so close to a major urban area. On a scale where the national rate for violent crime is 22.7, Malden is a 20.3, while local property crime rates are 23.9, versus the national rate of 35.4.
  • The Malden area is part of the greater Boston metro region, and it shares the city's climate. Like most of Massachusetts, winters here can be cold, with around 48 inches of snow on the ground every year. Sunshine totals are close to the national average, however, with 198 sunny days a year, compared with 205 nationwide. Summers in Malden are very mild, with few outright hot days and several weeks of breezy sunshine. 
  • Massachusetts does not impose a tax on seniors' Social Security income. Other types of retirement income may be taxed, though a number of senior-specific exemptions and deductions are available. The estate tax in Massachusetts, for example, comes with an exemption on the first $1 million. These factors help to make Massachusetts a moderately tax-friendly state for seniors who depend on a pension to make ends meet.
