What to Consider About Assisted Living in Troy

Nicknamed "The Collar City," Troy boasts a population of around 50,000. Including surrounding communities such as Latham, Albany, Cohoes and East Greenbush, the city is home to 45 assisted living facilities (ALFs). The New York Department of Health provides licensing and regulation for these facilities, as well for adult homes and enriched housing programs that provide a slightly lower level of care compared than ALFs.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Troy

  • Overall for weather and climate, Troy receives a Sperling Comfort Index of 35 out of 100, largely due to the challenging winters, which might be difficult for seniors. Snowfall is significant at 43 inches per year, and temperatures dip as low as 15 degrees and peak around 82.

  • Based on the EPA’s National Air Toxics Assessment, the air quality average for the nation is 58 out of 100. Troy’s air quality is a little better at 62. The risk of developing a respiratory disease in Troy is higher than it is in the entire Albany-Schenectady-Troy metro, but it’s lower than the risk for the state, which is good for seniors with respiratory issues.

  • The cost of living in Troy is 94.7, compared to the national average of 100. While transportation and groceries are more expensive, residents save overall due to significantly lower housing costs, helping seniors stretch their budget.

  • The violent crime rate ranks at 66.6 compared to the national average of 31.1, while property crime ranks at 58.8 compared to the national average of 38.1. The area isn’t as safe as other locations seniors might select for an ALF.

  • Troy has numerous cultural venues and entertainment options for seniors. For example, residents can enjoy the Powers Park Concert Series, Victorian Stroll, New York State Theater Institute, The Arts Center or Troy Waterfront Farmers’ Market. There’s also an ice arena and golf course.

  • Troy is home to world-class medical facilities, including St. Mary’s Hospital and Samaritan Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
