What to Consider About Assisted Living in Johnstown

Founded by General Sir William Johnson, who served in North America during the Seven Years War, the small town of Johnstown is known for celebrating its history. Today, more than 8,000 people call this community home, and 16.5% of them are aged 65 and over. Some of the seniors who need help with daily activities in this community get the care they require at the two assisted living facilities in town. These are officially designated as Adult Care Facilities (ACF) by the state of New York, and they are licensed and regulated by the Department of Health. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Johnstown

  • Seniors who enjoy the outdoors may not appreciate the cold and snowy winters in Johnstown, but the summer is pleasant. The average low temperature in January is just 10 degrees, and 73 inches of snow falls on average every year.
  • Johnstown is a very affordable place for seniors to live, especially when compared to many other parts of New York. The overall cost of living is 46.2 points lower than the state average of 129.4. It's 16.8% lower than the national average of 100.
  • Since New York does not tax income from Social Security or state and local government benefits, seniors in Johnstown may be able to put more money towards assisted living.
  • Johnstown celebrates its history through its arts and culture with plenty of locations for local seniors to enjoy. The Johnson Hall State Historic Site maintains some of the architecture and artifacts from the colonial era. Mrs. Henry's Boarding House is an important landmark for the women's suffrage movement.
  • Johnstown has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Gloversville.
  • Seniors looking for a safe place to live may be attracted to the low level of violent crime in Johnstown. The city has a violent crime rating that's 12.3 points lower than the national average of 22.7.
