READ MOREBordering Hingham Bay and close to several state parks, Weymouth lies approximately 17 miles south of the state capital of Boston. Home to more than 57,000 people, seniors make up roughly 18.9% of the local population. Crime rates are low compared with national figures, and the city offers easy access to affordable health care. Nearby, South Shore Hospital is in the state’s top 10 hospitals and is high-performing in one specialty and eight conditions and procedures. Harvard Vanguard Braintree and the high-performing Boston Medical Center are also in proximity.
Nursing homes provide around-the-clock monitoring, skilled nursing care and a range of medical services. Offering the highest level of senior care, they also tend to be the most expensive long-term care option. In Weymouth, seniors can expect to pay a monthly average of $13,155 for a semiprivate room in a nursing home. Those who can’t live independently but don’t require high-level clinical care may find assisted living more affordable, while individuals who need limited medical assistance and prefer to age in place may lean more toward home health care.
This guide provides an overview of senior care in Weymouth and lists free and low-cost resources geared toward supporting older adults.

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
These agencies and organizations offer diverse services to support Weymouth’s older adults. Programs may delay nursing home placement by providing support to remain at home and may also make it easier to understand and obtain nursing home care when it becomes necessary.
