READ MOREWhat to Consider About Assisted Living in Rockaway Park
The small community of Rockaway Park is located on the Rockaway Peninsula, New York, bordered by Jamaica Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The Rockaways were once known as New York's playground, and today, seniors in the area can still stroll along the famous beaches. The population in Rockaway Beach and the adjacent neighborhoods is around 20,000 people, and 18% of residents are aged 65 and over.
There are 45 assisted living facilities offering accommodation to seniors in the area who are mostly independent but want some help with activities of daily living. In Rockaway Park, and all of New York, these facilities are licensed and monitored by the New York State Department of Health.
