What to Consider About Assisted Living in Yorktown Heights

Yorktown Heights is a community in Westchester County, NY just 46 miles from New York City. The town is a hamlet of Yorktown and is home to just under 37,000 people of which 17.8 percent are seniors. This population of adults over 65 is served by one assisted living facility in town and over ten in the surrounding areas. ALFs in the State of New York are regulated by the Department of Health and are defined as adult care facilities that provide non-medical, long-term residences for seniors.
