What to Consider About Memory Care in Needham

Needham, Massachusetts, is a safe, family-friendly suburb of Boston. The state of Massachusetts indicates that over 130,000 of its residents have been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Needham, with a population of 29,000, has 5,500 seniors aged 65 and older, a population with many vulnerable to memory care conditions. To care for those with dementia and Alzheimer's, Needham has over two dozen memory care facilities. 

Memory care facilities in Needham, as in 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 (SCRs). 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Needham

  • Weather in Needham means cold winters with plenty of snow; temperatures can regularly drop into the teens in January. Seniors in memory care with certain health conditions may be uncomfortable. Summers are warm and not overly hot, with July averages in the low 80s, which may bring relief to those sensitive to high heat. 
  • Massachusetts does not levy a state income tax on Social Security income. This may make budgeting for memory care easier for residents and their families. 
  • Needham, as part of the greater Boston metro area, is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care such as Massachusetts General Hospital — Boston and Boston Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Needham's cost of living is nearly 2.5 times the national average, with high housing costs making this number so high. Housing, at over four times the rest of the country, may cause the operational costs for memory care facilities to increase, something that families on a budget may need to consider. 

Memory Care Laws and Regulations in Needham

Needham-area memory care communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all memory care communities in Massachusetts are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Massachusetts page for more information about these laws.
