What to Consider About Assisted Living in Clarence Center

The hamlet of Clarence Center, which is situated in the town of Clarence in Erie County, New York, has a population of just a little over 2,000 people. In the city of Clarence, the senior population makes up 16 percent of the total population. To support its senior population, Clarence Center has two assisted living facilities, and there are another 38 communities in the surrounding area.

In New York, assisted living facilities are officially called adult care facilities. This term encompasses three types of facilities, including adult homes, enriched housing programs and assisted living residences (ALRs). All three facility types are licensed and regulated by New York's Department of Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Clarence Center

  • Erie County was given an ozone grade of F and an A for short-term particle pollution by the American Lung Association. This may be a consideration for seniors who have lung or cardiovascular conditions.   
  • Seniors can expect to spend about 5 percent less on groceries and 11 percent less on healthcare in Clarence Center than they would in other U.S. cities.   
  • In New York, Social Security benefits are fully tax-exempt, and income from other retirement accounts is deductible up to $20,000. This may leave more money in the budget for assisted living.  
  • Crime rates are relatively low in Clarence Center, which may help seniors relocate to the region with confidence. On a scale of 1 to 100, with 1 being the safest, violent crime is rated 19.9 and property crime is rated 16.9 here,  compared to the U.S. averages of 31.1 and 38.1, respectively.  
  • Seniors have a variety of transportation options for navigating Clarence Center, including Rural Transit, a non-profit service for adults age 62 and over; the Erie County Going Places Van, which is for seniors over 60; and the senior center's 14-passenger van, which provides transportation to and from the center as well as weekly trips to shopping centers.   
  • The Clarence Center area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Williamsville.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Clarence Center

New York's Medicaid State Plan covers services offered in adult homes and enriched housing programs. The state's Long-Term Home Health Program 1915(c) Waiver program may also cover costs associated with assisted living.

Currently, the state does not subsidize services for low-income residents of ALRs. However, qualifying seniors who receive Medicaid personal care services may have them administered in a community setting, including an ALR.

Additionally, the state provides an optional state supplement to Supplemental Security Income recipients, which can be used toward the cost of care.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in New York page.
