What to Consider About Memory Care in North Andover
North Andover is a low-crime, affluent suburb of Boston, Massachusetts, a state that has over 130,000 residents diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. North Andover's population is 30,000, 14.5 percent of whom are seniors over 65. Many of these folks may need accommodations in one of the town's 19 memory care facilities. Alzheimer's Care facilities are regulated and licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Regulations include specific memory care training for all staff, as well as certain staff to patient ratios and supervision around the clock. To become employed in dementia or Alzheimer's care facilities, specific certification courses are required by state law. This includes workers in 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).
- North Andover residents are exempt from Massachusetts state tax on Social Security income, which may leave more money available for families budgeting for memory care costs. State tax exemptions also include consideration for those over 65, as well as exemptions due to qualifying disabilities.
-
Weather in North Andover is warm in the summer, and cold and snowy in the winter. Seniors who are sensitive to high heat may be comfortable here, although memory care residents with health conditions aggravated by cold may be less comfortable.
