What to Consider About Assisted Living in Patchogue

The New York State Department of Health licenses and supervises assisted living residences and other adult care facilities in Patchogue and the rest of New York State. The department also conducts inspections every 12 to 18 months to ensure facilities comply with state laws and aims to resolve complaints as they arise.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Patchogue

 

  • The cost of living in Patchogue is 46% higher than the national average, making it more expensive to live here than in most cities in the country. However, seniors in assisted living facilities usually pay an all-inclusive fee for accommodations, services and food, so they may not feel the high cost of living as much as those who own property and have everyday expenses.

 

  • New York State residents face some of the highest income tax rates in the country. Fortunately, seniors in Patchogue and elsewhere in the state qualify for special income tax benefits that can help retirement dollars stretch a little further. These include modifications to reduce their tax bills, tax credits and property tax benefits and exemptions.

 

  • The crime rate in Patchogue is generally lower than in many other parts of the country. Violent crime in Patchogue rates 12.7 on a 100-point scale, 10 points lower than the average national violent crime rate of 22.7. Property crimes in the village rate 31.8, which is also lower than the national average of 35.4. These figures are encouraging and may offer residents peace of mind.

 

  • Suffolk County, which includes Patchogue, is a member of AARP’s network of livable, age-friendly communities. This means the county's leadership is committed to working with residents and community groups to make the county more livable, accessible and accommodating to people of all ages and abilities. Suffolk County scores 52 out of 100 on AARP’s livability index, making it an above-average community.

 

 

  • Patchogue is located on Long Island, which may make travel to other U.S. destinations challenging for some seniors. However, the Long Island MacArthur Airport is only about 5 miles away, making it easy for friends and family to visit.
