What to Consider About Assisted Living in Vestal

Seniors who like stargazing may appreciate the Kopernik Observatory and Science Center, that allows Vestal locals to see the Milky Way through the center's powerful telescopes. When ready to return home, seniors can find accommodation in one of the area's seven assisted living facilities. Known as Adult Care Facilities (ACF) or Assisted Living Residences (ALRs), depending on the license they hold, these facilities are licensed by the New York State Department of Health.
