What to Consider About Assisted Living in Briarcliff Manor

It also offers seniors a handy tool to look up licensed facilities in their area to assist with the decision-making process.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Briarcliff Manor

  • The cost of living in Briarcliff Manor is quite high, even compared to the state average. It’s 73% more expensive overall than the nation and about 50% more than the state. However, a major contributor to this is housing costs, which aren’t a concern for seniors retiring in assisted living communities. 
  • Health care costs average around 26% higher than the national average. However, there is an extremely high number of physicians concentrated in the area, with 490 per 100,000 people compared to the national average of just 210. 
  • While winters are cold and snowy, averaging 32 inches of snow per year and winter lows averaging around 18 degrees F, Briarcliff Manor scores highly on the BestPlaces Comfort Index for summer weather, receiving a 9/10. Summers see July highs of around 81 degrees and residents can enjoy 200 days of sunshine per year, right around the national average of 205.
  • Briarcliff Manor is very safe, with relatively low levels of crime. Ranked on a scale of 1 to 100, the area receives a violent crime score of just 7.2 compared to the national average of 22.7, and a property crime score of 9.1 compared to the U.S. average of 35.4. Most assisted living facilities are also quite safe with security measures in place to make it even less likely that a senior may encounter a crime.
  •  While many forms of retirement income, such as pensions are considered taxable income in the state of New York, it does not tax Social Security income or other income from the federal, New York State or local governments.
