What to Consider About Assisted Living in Westbury

Located on Long Island, just 18 miles outside of Manhattan, Westbury is an incorporated community in the suburbs outside of New York City. Nearly 14 percent of the community’s population is over 65 years of age, though there are many other seniors living in the densely populated Long Island area around Westbury. Due to the large senior population, there are 23 assisted living facilities in the Westbury area. All of these facilities are registered, certified and licensed by the New York Department of Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Westbury

  • Weather in Westbury varies from lows in the 20s during the winter months to highs in the high 80s during summer peaks. It tends to get about 21 inches of snow per year, which is less than the national average, and about 48 inches of rain, well over the national average.

  • Westbury’s air quality is moderate to fair on a regular basis. Pollution levels are affected by its close proximity to one of the busiest cities in America and the densely populated surroundings.

  • The cost of living in Westbury is significantly higher than both state and national averages. This is due to its location within the New York City metropolitan area. Groceries, utilities, transportation and health care are all more expensive than average.

  • Crime rates in Westbury are relatively low considering its close proximity to high crime density areas in nearby Queens. The crime rate is about two-thirds of the state and national averages and it is considered 48 percent safer than most cities in the United States.

  • Senior transportation in Westbury is provided by the local 2-1-1 services in Nassau and Suffolk counties. There are also a number of independent drivers and transport services that offer rides to seniors for low rates.

  • The Westbury area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in the nearby community of Roslyn, which is home to St. Francis Hospital.
