Massapequa is home to over 17,000 residents, with 17.8% of people living in the city aged 65 and older. A growing number of seniors are impacted by Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia every year. This is true in Massapequa where these diseases claim hundreds of lives every year. Alzheimer's-related deaths in Massapequa rose by 69.4% between 2014 and 2018, increasing from 235 to 398 per year, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control. Comparatively, the overall death rate only rose by 5.2% over the same period. This would indicate that Alzheimer’s is an increasingly serious issue in the city.
There are memory care communities in Massapequa that work to help manage and slow the mental decline of seniors living with dementia. These communities and organizations do valuable work in keeping seniors safe and happy, providing care and support specifically designed to aid those living with memory loss. In this guide, you’ll find further information on memory care in Massapequa, including the financial costs, a directory of care communities and resources for those with memory loss and their loved ones.
Massapequa has a SeniorScore of 72, which is on par with the national average. The category that the city scored highest in was Health & Safety, with Recreation & Leisure and Finances coming in joint second with a score of 64 each.
When it comes to Health & Safety, seniors in Massapequa can relax knowing they have a wealth of resources at their demand. There is a high number of Medicare-registered physicians in the city, a very high number of home health care providers and more than 950 pharmacies in the city. Additionally, there are 14 nearby hospitals, including St Joseph Hospital, Brunswick General Hospital and South Oaks Hospital. The life expectancy in Massapequa is nearly two years above the national average, coming in at 80.5 years.
Both property tax and state income tax in Massapequa are higher than the national average, but sales tax is lower. Additionally, while assisted living and home health care costs are in line with the national average, the costs of nursing home costs and adult day care are higher.
Massapequa also received a score of 64 for Recreation & Leisure. This is partially thanks to its close proximity to over 131 golf courses (including Beach State Park Golf Course and Peninsula Golf Club), multiple parks, shopping centers, movie theatres and health clubs. Religious seniors are also able to worship without issue with easy access to more than 290 churches of various denominations.
While the city’s lowest score was in General Quality of Life, this is largely due to the long commute time, high use of public transport and low public school ranking — issues that do not directly affect seniors. The city’s pleasant summers, good air quality and adequate water quality are all positive for seniors.
Memory care is usually provided in assisted living facilities, with services such as laundry, food preparation, supervision and activities included. However, memory care also includes Alzheimer's-specific programs to address cognition issues. Staff members are also specially trained to handle the behavioral problems that typically accompany memory loss. As the cost of memory care is, in general, 20-30% higher than the cost of assisted living, we've added 25% to the assisted living costs reported by the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey. Using these calculations, the average monthly cost of memory care in Massapequa is $7,489 per month. This is higher than the state average of $6,000 and the national average of $5,375.
Massapequa is one of the most expensive cities for memory care within New York State. The city of Rochester is slightly more affordable in comparison, coming in at $6,475. Utica, Albany and Syracuse are all in a similar price bracket around $6,000, with Utica on the higher end at $6,131 and Syracuse on the lower at $5,879.
One of the most affordable options for memory care within New York State is Buffalo, with a monthly median cost of $5,706. While this is more affordable than other cities in New York State, it is still hundreds of dollars higher than the national average of $5,375.
