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.

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.
