Quincy, Massachusetts Assisted Living Facilities & Senior Care

We love a city with a good website - and Quincy seems to have just that! Not only does it have a good search function (it uses Google's site search,which, we think does a great job), it also, if you type in "Senior Housing" comes up with a nice list of helpful results.

The first item that comes up is a Guide to senior housing - it is a .pdf, and although it is a few year old, and seemingly hasn't been updated since 2007, it is still a decent guide. It starts out by listing the Senior Buildings in Quincy - of which several are assisted living facilities. There are several. Then, it lists a good handful of Senior Buildings that have income restrictions (i.e. the total monthly rent is 30% of adjusted gross income). There are a good number of these facilities.

This is a good page/list to get an idea of costs involved with living in an assisted living facility or other senior living arrangement.

The City of Quincy also has a Council on Aging and Elder Services department "...to provide the elder members of our community with uncompromising services to ensure a high quality of life."

The City of Quincy also offers a number of helpful senior services and programs, such as Blood Pressure Clinics, Health Screenings, the SHINE program, which is "Service Health Information Needs of Elders. This is a State-funded program that serves over 300 seniors annually," a Friendly Visitors program, which is a drop-in program that coordinates seniors who are alone with other seniors. The goal of the program is to develop friendships and support.

There are quite a few excellent activities and programs for seniors in Quincy - too many to have a complete list here - we recommend checking out the City of Quincy's Elder Programs and Services page here.

Don't be fooled by the Questionable Tactics used by many assisted living sites
