What to Consider About Memory Care in Peabody
Peabody, Massachusetts, population 53,000, is a safe, family-friendly suburb in the north part of the Boston metro area. In the state of Massachusetts, over 130,000 residents are diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's disease and may need specialized memory care treatment. Out of Peabody's 11,000 seniors aged 65 and over, many will require housing in one of Peabody's handful of memory care facilities.
Memory care facilities in Peabody, and all of 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 Peabody residents and their 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.
- Seniors in memory care who have health conditions aggravated by colder temperatures may find Peabody's winters to be uncomfortable as there is plenty of snow and low temperatures averaging in the teens. Summers may be more comfortable for aging joints as they are warm, but not overly hot. July averages are in the low 80s.
- The cost of living in Peabody is higher than the national average, due mainly to housing costs. At more than twice the U.S. average, higher housing costs may mean higher memory care fees as these facilities may have increased operating costs. Health care is nearly 20 percent less than the rest of the country, which may be helpful for seniors with chronic medical needs.
- Peabody, 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.
