What to Consider About Assisted Living in Brooklyn
Brooklyn, New York, is one of the five boroughs of New York City and is located along the coast of New York. Brooklyn is a melting pot, and there are significant communities of Irish, Italian, Greek, Jewish and Muslim Americans. Seniors who identify with one of these cultural identities might find established ethnic and linguistic security within Brooklyn. Brooklyn has the largest population of the five boroughs with nearly 360,000 citizens over the age of 65. This substantial group is serviced by over 60 assisted living facilities (known as adult care facilities, or ACFs, in New York) located in Brooklyn and the surrounding regions. ACFs are regulated and licensed by the New York State Department of Health and provide long-term residential services to adults who can no longer live independently.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Brooklyn
- The Brooklyn area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center and Calvary Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Brooklyn has an array of community resources for seniors and is home to 12 senior centers. One such center is the Dorchester Senior Citizens Center, Inc., which provides social and educational activities, such as aerobics, parties and ESL classes.
- Like the rest of New York City, Brooklyn has public transportation available via the nineteen subway lines, as well as daily express bus service to Manhattan. Seniors enjoy a half-fare discount on all New York Subway fares and bus ticket prices.
- The Brooklyn area experiences warm and humid summers and cold, windy winters. Because the temperature rarely hits above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, seniors who enjoy extremely hot weather or who don't like being outside in frigid climates should consider looking for an ACF somewhere other than Brooklyn.
- The chances of being a crime victim in Brooklyn is about one in 55; crime rates here are approximately 81 percent higher than in cities in the rest of the state. Seniors who enjoy traveling independently and who plan to spend a lot of time outside of their ACF should note the crime rates in Brooklyn.
- Brooklyn offers seniors a vibrant arts culture with the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Philharmonic and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The Brooklyn Academy of Music provides seniors with discounted membership as well as last-minute ticket deals.
