Seniors have several options for paying for assisted living expenses in Brooklyn, depending on their functional needs, veteran status and financial resources. By using multiple funding sources, older adults can receive the residential care they need without compromising financial stability.
Beyond state Medicaid, the state of New York provides a couple waiver programs that help seniors afford their chosen assisted living facility. The Managed Long Term Care Waiver helps residents with payment in assisted living facilities and the Assisted Living Program helps those who qualify for nursing home care but want to live in an assisted living facility afford it.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in New York page.
In Brooklyn, assisted living prices have increased by 9.6% in the past year, and they're expected to increase by another 7.7% in 2024. A portion of this 18% surge can be attributed to inflation.
