What to Consider About Assisted Living in Olean

Built along the shore of the Allegheny river, Olean, New York, is the most populous city in Cattaraugus County. About one-fifth of Olean's residents are 60 years of age or older. For seniors and their families who are considering assisted living, there are two assisted living communities available in the Olean area. 

In Olean and throughout New York, the New York State Department of Health licenses different kinds of Adult Care Facilities (ACFs) based on the level of assistance they provide. Assisted Living Residences (ALRs) are for seniors who require a minimum level of care, while Enhanced Assisted Living Residences (EALRs) and Special Needs Assisted Living Residences (SNALRs) are for residents who require progressively higher levels of care.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Olean

  • With a cost of living that is 26.3 percent below the national average, Olean is more affordable for seniors than most U.S. cities.

  • New York State provides some tax breaks for seniors. It doesn't tax Social Security income. Other kinds of retirement income, such as pensions and withdrawals from 401(k) plans, may be deductible.

  • Olean has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Cattaraugus County Department of the Aging, an organization that provides necessary services for persons 60 and older, as well as one senior center.

  • The Olean Area Transit System (OATS) provides public transportation in and around the city. Seniors who use the service receive discounted fares. 

  • The Olean area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Olean General Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Seniors may find that Olean's weather limits their outdoor activities. Winters in the city tend to be bitter cold, with an average January low temperature of 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Olean also gets plenty of snow, with an average of 66 inches falling on the city each year.
