What to Consider About Assisted Living in Bronx
The Bronx, New York is one of the five boroughs of New York City. The Bronx is considered the city's greenest borough, so seniors who are attracted to living in New York City but want more access to the great outdoors should consider the Bronx. The Bronx is home to Pelham Bay Park, a park three times the size of Central Park that offers miles of hiking trails, two golf courses and a variety of plant and animal life.
In the Bronx, assisted living facilities are called adult care facilities (ACF) and are known as establishments that provide long-term residential services to adults. ACFs in the Bronx are licensed by the New York State Department of Health and are categorized as either adult homes, enriched housing programs or residencies for adults. There are 54 ACFs in the Bronx area, with 12 located within the borough limits and 42 others located nearby.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Bronx
- Seniors choosing to live in the Bronx have access to multiple arts and cultural events and venues such as the Bronx Museum of the Arts provide senior discounts for membership prices. For sports lovers, the Yankees Stadium is located within the borough's limits.
-
The climate in the Bronx is similar to the rest of New York State, with humid summers and frigid winters. Seniors who dislike cold, windy weather should be aware that the Bronx's location means that nearly half the year is windy.
- The Bronx has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Melrose Mott Haven Senior Center, an organization that provides health screenings and group meals, as well as more than 10 other senior centers.
- The Bronx area is home to world-class medical facilities, including North Central Bronx Hospital and Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- The cost of living in the Bronx is higher than the average across New York State and the national mean. Seniors can expect to spend most of their budget on utilities and housing costs in the area.
- The Bronx has the second-highest crime rate in New York City, but the second-lowest number of surveillance cameras. Seniors who often travel unaccompanied should be aware of the high crime rates in the Bronx.
