The town has a large senior population, with nearly one-third of its residents aged 65 and older.

These facilities are known across Massachusetts as assisted living residences (ALRs) and are certified and regulated by the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA).

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Falmouth

Not only are there many opportunities to enjoy the beaches and waterfront, the area has plenty of arts and culture, including the Cahoon Museum of American Art, Heritage Museums & Gardens and Woods Hole Theater Company.
  • The overall cost of living in Falmouth is more expensive than the Massachusetts state average, which is already much higher than the U.S. national average. Based on the national average of 100, Falmouth receives an index rating of 167, which is something budget-conscious seniors may want to consider.
  • Seniors can get around Falmouth on Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority's Sealine route, and are eligible for reduced fares. The CCRT also offers a seasonal trolley service, WHOOSH, that runs throughout Falmouth, as well as a Dial-A-Ride Transportation (DART) shared bus service to take seniors directly from their home to their destination in the town. 
  • The Falmouth area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Falmouth Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Seniors and their families may have peace of mind knowing that crime rates in Falmouth are below the national average. Violent crime is rated 18 out of a possible 100, compared to the national rate of 22.7.
