Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Commack

 

  • Commack has very low crime rates, making the town safer than approximately 86% of cities nationwide. Additionally, the Suffolk County Police Department says the region has seen violent and property crimes decrease in recent years. For added safety, assisted living communities often use security systems such as cameras and gates to maintain a secure environment.

 

  • The cost of living in Commack is about 72.5% higher than the national average. Housing prices play a major role in this figure; on average, local homes cost 114.7% more than the U.S. norm. Fortunately, assisted living communities usually offer fixed monthly rates that include room and board, making budgeting easier.

 

  • New York State's retirement tax laws offset some living expenses for seniors. Beyond exempting Social Security benefits, the state offers a $20,000 deduction for other forms of retirement income such as 401(k) withdrawals and pension disbursements. Additionally, most food items and prescription drugs aren't subject to sales taxes statewide.

 

  • Suffolk County, which includes Commack, is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning the local government works to be senior-friendly through public programs and resources. Additionally, Commack has an AARP Livability Score of 54, putting it in the top half of communities nationwide. The town scores especially well for its health care system; 64.6% of residents say they're satisfied with their care compared to 61.4% statewide.

 

 

  • Commack experiences an average of 207 sunny days annually compared to the national norm of 205. Nonetheless, the town also gets 8 more inches of rain annually than the national norm. Additionally, Commack receives about 26 inches of snow per year.
