Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Brockton

  • Since Brockton is just 25 miles from Boston, the cost of living is higher than average. However, the community is more affordable than most parts of the state. Health care is one of the few essential services that costs less than the U.S. average.
  • Boston is one of the best locations in the nation when it comes to cutting-edge medical care. Dementia patients have access to the NIH-recognized Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Boston University and the Center for Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Many of these clinics provide supportive services for families.
  • Brockton’s climate is rainier and snowier than the typical U.S. city, but these conditions are unlikely to impact seniors in memory care since these facilities handle snow removal and provide transportation. Memory care facilities provide a comfortable, secure environment for seniors year-round.
  • Although crime rates in Brockton are higher than the state and national averages, the city has an accredited emergency planning committee with approximately 40 staff members. Memory care facilities provide enhanced security to control who can enter or exit the facility. The state also operates an information hotline for families who have relatives in nursing homes or residential care facilities.
  • Brockton’s air quality is affected by its proximity to one of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas. Plymouth County receives a grade of C for ozone levels and an A for 24-hour particulates according to the American Lung Association. Some facilities may use air purification equipment to remove contaminants and minimize potential health concerns.
  • In 2022, Brockton joined AARP’s Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities. Government leaders are actively working to make the city a more livable location for older adults, including those with memory loss and other special needs.
