What to Consider About Assisted Living in Teaneck

Teaneck is a township in northern New Jersey and a suburb in the New York metropolitan area that has a population of approximately 40,000 people. The city came to national attention in the 1960s when Teaneck was the first community in the United States to vote for integrated schools. Some of the oldest homes in America are found here, which may be a comfort to the city’s seniors who make up more than 16.5% of Teaneck’s population.

Teaneck offers two assisted living residences (ALRs) to support older adults who need help with meal prep, housekeeping and medical care, and another 42 ALRs are located in surrounding cities. The New Jersey Department of Health regulates these communities in Teaneck, as in all of the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Teaneck

  • Teaneck 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.
  • Seniors with lung or heart conditions should know that the American Lung Association grades Teaneck’s location in Bergen County with an “F” for ozone pollution and a “B” for particle pollution. This could be a health concern, especially for seniors who enjoy being active outdoors.
  • The Teaneck area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Holy Name Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Seniors on a tight budget may be concerned with Teaneck’s overall cost of living that’s nearly 50% higher than the national average. Although grocery and healthcare costs are about equal to the U.S. average, housing is twice as costly and transportation is nearly 70% higher.
  • Teaneck offers an array of services for seniors, including the Senior Center, which provides a well-equipped game room as well as year-round programs, activities and special events.
  • Security-conscious seniors may be relieved to know that Teaneck’s crime rates are lower than the national averages. On a scale of 1 to 100, with 100 being high violent crime, Teaneck ranks 11.1, which is half the U.S. average of 22.7. With a 23.2 property crime rate, Teaberry again comes in lower than the national average of 35.4.
