With nearly 113,000 people, Manchester is the most populous city in New Hampshire. It has a large senior community that makes up over 13% of the population, and according to recent data from the Alzheimer’s Association, about one in nine of these older adults have Alzheimer’s disease. While Alzheimer’s is on the rise nationwide, with deaths related to this disease increasing by 145% between 2000 and 2019, the rate of Alzheimer’s-related deaths in the Manchester region has remained consistent. The CDC reports that in 2014, Alzheimer’s accounted for approximately 4.87% of deaths in the county. In 2018, Alzheimer’s deaths made up 4.86% of deaths. While the total number of deaths in the county increased by 3.71% during that four-year period, Alzheimer’s-related deaths increased by 3.32%.
Many seniors live independently during the early stages of dementia, but as their condition progresses, professional care is generally necessary for ensuring their safety and quality of life. In Manchester, memory care facilities are staffed with trained caregivers who oversee dementia-specific programming and therapeutic activities. This guide provides an overview of local memory care costs and how they compare to rates in other cities. It also outlines the benefits and drawbacks of living in this city and the local agencies that provide dementia services.
The SeniorScore is calculated based on over 100 factors gathered from public and private databases to measure how favorable a region is for seniors, with a higher score indicating more benefits for older residents. Manchester has an overall SeniorScore of 68, which is a little lower than the state score of 75 and the national average of 72.
Manchester scores strongest in the Health & Safety metric at 70, indicating that it has a range of benefits and amenities to meet seniors’ health needs. There's a very large network of doctors and specialists who accept Medicare, providing access to affordable healthcare services, and over 230 pharmacies fill prescriptions and offer basic wellness and screening services. The life expectancy is nearly two years higher than the national average at 80.3 years, and the city has a very high number of home care agencies and nearly four dozen residential care facilities. Crime is comparatively prevalent, but a high number of fire stations supports fast emergency response times. The city also rates well in the Recreation & Leisure category with a score of 63. Nearly 150 churches provide social support and access to volunteer-based services, and 63 golf courses, two parks and eight movie theaters provide recreational opportunities for older adults.
The city has a moderate score of 59 in the Finances category, which may suggest that it might not be well-suited for those with budget constraints. Compared to the rest of the nation, Manchester’s cost of living is very high, and senior care, including memory care, is expensive. However, there’s no sales tax and household incomes tend to be high, which may offset care expenses. The city rates lowest in General Quality of Life at 52. Summers are mild but winters are very cold, and the air quality is on par with the national average. There are about 3,300 people per square mile, and the lack of public transportation options may contribute to traffic congestion.
Memory care facilities are required to install wandering prevention systems and have enough staff available around the clock to ensure residents’ safety. They often incorporate specialized programming to meet the unique needs of residents with dementia, which may include failure-free social and recreational activities and familiar routines. Memory care services typically cost 20-30% more than standard assisted living. To calculate monthly rates, we added 25% to the assisted living fees listed in the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey.
Manchester is a relatively expensive city for memory care, which may be a consideration for those with budgetary constraints. On average, facilities in this city charge $9,450 for memory services. This is over $1,000 more than the statewide average of $8,313 per month and over $4,000 higher than the national rate of $5,375.
Manchester is the only surveyed city in New Hampshire, but local memory care costs exceed the state median at $9,450 per month, indicating that other cities within the state are more affordable. Care costs are also cheaper across state lines. In Portland, Maine, fees are a little lower than New Hampshire’s median and over $1,000 less than Manchester’s rate at $8,229. In Burlington, Vermont, seniors pay $6,781 for care. In the Massachusetts cities of Boston and Worcester, respective fees come in at $7,625 and $6,860. In Albany, New York, care costs are closer to the national median at $6,000.
