In Franklin Square, assisted living facilities charge $5,750 per month for housing and personal care.
Low-income Franklin Square seniors who reside in an adult home or enriched housing program may be eligible to have their care covered by New York's Medicaid State Plan. Additionally, the state's Long-Term Home Health Program 1915(c) Waiver program may cover costs in adult homes.
Currently, the state does not offer a subsidy for services provided by ALRs. However, seniors who receive Medicaid personal care services may have them provided in a community setting, including an ALR.
Additionally, New York provides an optional state supplement to Supplemental Security Income, which seniors can use toward the cost of their care.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in New York page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
