Senior Housing & Assistance

Just over 16% of the New York state population is over age 65, equating to 3.1 million residents. As the baby boomer generation continues to age, the number of seniors is growing as well; over the last decade, the population of seniors has risen 26%. Unfortunately, as a state with one of the highest costs of living anywhere in the nation, New York seniors can expect to pay more than the national average for senior living care. With Senior living facilities averaging $4,630 per month, and some areas going far beyond this, calling New York home in retirement isn’t always affordable.
