    What to Consider About Assisted Living in Tonawanda

    Located just 12 miles north of Buffalo, Tonawanda is a vibrant community with a population of just under 73,000, of which 19.6 percent are seniors. To accommodate this population, there is one assisted living facility within city limits and 20 in the surrounding areas. These facilities are regulated by the New York State Department of Health and are defined as adult care facilities (ACFs) that provide non-medical room and board for seniors.
