What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fredonia

Fredonia is a small village located in the heart of Lake Erie wine country. Seniors retiring to the area have many opportunities to join the community at the village's six annual festivals, including Red, White and Blues, a celebration of music and wine. Almost 14% of the village's 10,500 residents are aged 65 or above, and there are five assisted living facilities in the area catering to this population.

In Fredonia and the rest of the state, the New York State Department of Health regulates these facilities, which are known as Adult Care Facilities or Assisted Living Residences, based on the license that they hold.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fredonia

  • The overall cost of living in Fredonia is rated 79.8 on the Sperling index, more than 20 points below the U.S. average of 100. Seniors with regular medical costs may be able to save money as healthcare costs in the city are rated at 89.7, more than 10 points lower than the state and national averages.
  • The Fredonia area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Brooks Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Chautauqua Area Regional Transit System provides public transport to the Fredonia area. Passengers aged 60 and over are eligible for a discounted fare and seniors may also be able to access the dial-a-ride service aimed at people unable to use the fixed-route buses.
  • Fredonia's overall crime rate is 22 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is higher than average for communities of a similar size. The violent crime rate of 1.7 per 1,000 is almost two points lower than the state average. However, the property crime rate is 20.54 per thousand, more than five points higher than the New York average, so seniors may wish to enquire about security in facilities they visit.
  • New York doesn't tax Social Security Income and while other forms for retirement income is taxed, the state provides a large deduction for taxpayers aged 60 or over. New York does have a high sales tax, but medications, groceries and some clothing are exempt, which may allow seniors to save money for their assisted living budget.
  • Fredonia has cold winters, with average low temperatures in January of 20 degrees. The village also gets an average of 73 inches of snow and experiences significant snowfall six months each year. Seniors should find out what indoor activities are available in prospective assisted living communities.
