What to Consider About Memory Care in North Andover

North Andover is a low-crime, affluent suburb of Boston, Massachusetts, a state that has over 130,000 residents diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. North Andover's population is 30,000, 14.5 percent of whom are seniors over 65. Many of these folks may need accommodations in one of the town's 19 memory care facilities. Alzheimer's Care facilities are regulated and licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

Regulations include specific memory care training for all staff, as well as certain staff to patient ratios and supervision around the clock. To become employed in dementia or Alzheimer's care facilities, specific certification courses are required by state law.  This includes workers in both assisted living facilities that have separate memory care wings as well as Alzheimer's only treatment centers, referred to as “Dementia Special Care Units” (DSCUs). Other memory care facilities attached to assisted living communities are called  “Special Care Residences” (SCR). 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in North Andover

  • North Andover residents are exempt from Massachusetts state tax on Social Security income, which may leave more money available for families budgeting for memory care costs. State tax exemptions also include consideration for those over 65, as well as exemptions due to qualifying disabilities. 
  • Weather in North Andover is warm in the summer, and cold and snowy in the winter. Seniors who are sensitive to high heat may be comfortable here, although memory care residents with health conditions aggravated by cold may be less comfortable. 
  • The North Andover area, as part of the Boston metropolis, is home to world-class medical facilities, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • North Andover's cost of living is notably higher than the national average. This figure is due mainly to housing costs, which are more than double the rest of the country. Higher housing costs in the area may affect some memory care fees.

Memory Care Laws and Regulations in North Andover

North Andover-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.
