What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fayetteville

Fayetteville, named after a national hero of both France and the United States, is a small village in Upstate New York where 17.7% of the population is aged 65 and over. The village itself has two assisted living facilities for residents who require special accommodations. There are also 14 additional facilities located nearby in Syracuse and other towns. The state of New York, including Fayetteville, licenses and regulates these facilities under their official designation as Assisted Living Residences (ALRs) through the state's Department of Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fayetteville

  • The American Lung Association gives Onondaga County, where Fayetteville is located, a passing grade for annual particle pollution. Seniors don't need to worry that going outside will worsen any breathing problems they may have in this city. The county also gets a B for ozone pollution.
  • Seniors who live in Fayetteville experience cold and snowy winters. The average low temperature in January is 15 degrees, and the village gets an average of 105 inches of snow per year which is 77 inches above the national average of 28. Seniors may want to check that their assisted living facility has a backup source of heat in case of a power outage.
  • Fayetteville has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Syracuse.
  • Families looking for affordable assisted living in New York may find Fayetteville attractive. The town's cost of living is 3% below the national average of 100 and 32.4% below the average for New York state.
  • Seniors in Fayetteville who receive income from social security can put more of their money towards assisted living because New York does not tax SSI or benefits from the state or local government. Retirees who receive other types of income, such as private pensions or investments, get a sizable deduction of $20,000.
  • Rates of crime in Fayetteville are low, so seniors should feel safe living within the community. The village has a violent crime rate 14.6 points below the national average and 13 points below the average for New York state.
