Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Dover

  • Based on a 100-point index, health care prices in Dover are about 4% below the national average. Although the city has a lower-than-average number of local physicians, with 186 per 100,000 people compared to the United States' 210, it's home to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, an award-winning facility with board-certified physicians and a dementia diagnosis, treatment and care center. 
  • Dover's overall cost of living is higher than New Hampshire's statewide average and the national median. On a 100-point scale, Dover ranks at 106.5, making it 6.5% more expensive than the U.S. average, although residents pay lower prices than average state costs for utilities and transportation. Memory care communities also offer fixed monthly rates, which include basic necessities, such as housing and meals, to help with affordability.
  • Dover is home to two memory cafes, which are secure locations to enjoy dementia-friendly outings with a loved one with memory loss. The cafes are located at the Children's Museum of New Hampshire and on the first floor of Langdon Place of Dover. 
  • Based on a 100-point index, crime rates in Dover are lower than U.S. figures. The city ranks at 8.9 for violent crime and 24 for property crime, compared to U.S. averages of 22.7 and 35.4. Memory care communities also provide security measures, such as keypad entries and 24-hour staff, to ensure residents stay safe and don't wander off-site. 
  • Dover has a humid continental climate with mild summers and cold winters. Although the city averages 53 inches of annual snowfall, which is higher than the U.S. average of 28 inches, it also experiences 198 sunny days per year with mild to cool year-round temperatures, offering pleasant weather for seniors to enjoy outdoor therapeutic activities. Memory care communities also provide indoor amenities and activities for residents to stay engaged during unpleasant weather.
