What to Consider About Assisted Living in East Elmhurst

East Elmhurst is said to be the most stable neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens; its residents tend to remain living in their homes longer than any other part of NYC. However, when the time comes, seniors who are in need of help with daily tasks but who wish to continue living in their beloved neighborhood may look for assisted living in the area. There is one assisted living facility in East Elmhurst and an additional 59 in other nearby neighborhoods including Flushing, Jamaica and Queens Village.

New York has three types of Adult Care Facilities (ACFs) regulated by the New York State Department of Health. Facilities may become Assisted Living Residences (ALRs) with additional licensing.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in East Elmhurst

  • New York City, including East Elmhurst, has an array of community resources for seniors, including the New York Foundation for Senior Citizens, an organization that provides a range of innovative social services to seniors in all five boroughs as well as more than two senior centers.
  • East Elmhurst offers many opportunities for seniors to enjoy the arts and cultural activities. The Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center has an art gallery and hosts regular performances. Residents can enjoy Queens and other New York City boroughs by taking in visits to the Queens Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, among a myriad of other cultural events and attractions.
  • The East Elmhurst area is home to world-class medical facilities, including NYC Health + Hospitals, Elmhurst, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Sales tax in New York is quite high, which can impact the budget of seniors on a fixed income. However, Social Security income is exempt from income tax, and although money from pensions and retirement funds is taxable, this income is deductible up to $20,000.
  • New York City, including East Elmhurst, is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
  • Queens County, including East Elmhurst, received an A grade for particle pollution in the State of the Air Report 2018. However, the county failed in the ozone pollution category, meaning that air quality conditions exist that may impact the health of seniors with respiratory conditions.
