What to Consider About Assisted Living in Warsaw
Warsaw is located in Wyoming County, New York, just between Buffalo and Rochester. Within town limits sits the Village of Warsaw, which acts as the county seat. With more than 20 percent of the village population over the age of 65, senior residents have strong representation in the area.
New York assisted living facilities are called assisted living residences (ALRs), and they are regulated and licensed through the New York Department of Health. ALRs must provide 24-hour monitoring on site and offer case management, food and care services in a home-like setting. Warsaw seniors are limited to one assisted living facility in the area.
