Out of its total population of 29,729, 23% of Gloucester's residents are over the age of 65. The city has relatively low crime, and although its overall cost of living is quite a bit above the nationwide figure, health services in the city are generally less costly than in most of the country. Among its health care providers, Addison Gilbert Hospital is popular for emergency medical services while Cape Ann Medical Center is most well-known for its specialist services such as orthopedics and neurology. In addition to Gloucester's recreational activities, Boston is only an hour away by train, making it easy for seniors to explore the big city's vast dining, shopping and cultural attractions.
Between Gloucester and the surrounding area, seniors can choose from around 19 assisted living communities. Costs can vary depending on an individual's required level of care and the community's amenities, but on average, seniors are paying about $6,100 a month for assisted living, just $15 above the statewide average.
Compared to the national and statewide SeniorScores of 77 and 72, respectively, Gloucester's SeniorScore of 66 is a bit low, indicating that some aspects of the city may make it a less appealing retirement destination. While Gloucester's best ratings are in the Recreation & Leisure category and its worst are in Health & Safety, the city has pros and cons in every category.
A high concentration of seniors, dozens of golf courses and numerous churches and gyms are some of the key aspects that make Recreation & Leisure Gloucester's best category. The city also has over 40 grocery stores, several movie theaters and eight parks. For Health & Safety, Gloucester's lackluster performance can be attributed to its low number of hospitals, limited home healthcare providers and having just an average number of physicians who are registered with Medicare. However, for the city's size, it does have an above average number of fire stations and senior living communities offering various types of care.
The most positive elements of Gloucester's second-best scoring category, General Quality of Life, are its exceptional water quality and public schools which have high safety and quality ratings as well as high graduation rates. Unfortunately, bitter winters and high annual rainfall are the norm in the city, preventing this category's SeniorScore from climbing above 62.
The SeniorScore™ is calculated based on over 100 variables, some of which are shown below. The final score is curved based on a linear curving method. For More info visit senioradvice.com/seniorscore.
Results from the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey show that, on average, seniors in Gloucester's assisted living facilities are spending about $6,100 per month for their care. Data for Gloucester wasn't available, but since the city is part of the Boston metro area, care costs should be similar. Compared to what seniors pay for assisted living nationally, $4,300, the cost of care in Gloucester seems expensive, but it's only slightly above the statewide average. Additionally, its higher cost of care is consistent with the city's higher cost of living despite other health care services in the city costing less than they do nationally.
Out of all the cities in Massachusetts surveyed by Genworth, Barnstable Town is the only one reported to have higher assisted living costs than Gloucester, making it the state's most expensive city for assisted living. The most affordable city is Worcester. On average, its seniors spend $612 less each month on assisted living than older adults in Gloucester. Springfield's median cost of care, $5,750, is $350 less than Gloucester's, which makes it the city with the second-most affordable assisted living rates, followed by Pittsfield, where the average cost of assisted living is just $39 higher.

SeniorCare Home Care Gloucester's seniors who need assistance with activities of daily living but don't want to move into a senior care facility can apply for SeniorCare's home care services. To qualify, seniors must be at least 60 years old, currently live at their residence and meet income guidelines. Depending on needs, seniors could receive assistance with transportation, home delivered meals, help with shopping and meal preparation and other services. Seniors with incomes above the threshold to receive free home care services may still be accepted, but services will be billed on a sliding scale based on income. 49 Blackburn Center, MA 01930 (978) 281-1750 |
