What to Consider About Assisted Living in New Rochelle

In New Rochelle and the rest of New York, assisted living facilities are regulated by the New York Department of Health.

This exceeds the New York score of 121.5, indicating that it’s more expensive to live here than in most other cities in the state. Fortunately, the state funds the Assisted Living Program, which provides financial assistance that helps qualified individuals pay for residential care. 
  • New York’s state income tax laws are generally friendly toward retirees, which may help some seniors afford assisted living in New Rochelle. Those aged 59.9 and over may be eligible to claim a deduction of up to $20,000 to reduce what they pay in taxes on withdrawals from investment accounts and pension income. Additionally, the state doesn’t tax Social Security benefits, providing considerable savings for those who rely on this form of retirement income.

The city scores 14.9 for violent crime and 25 for property-related offenses on a 100-point scale.
