This may cause an issue during the winter months for families traveling to visit their loved ones in memory care and for seniors who enjoy sitting outside.  
  • Rates of reported violent and property crime are slightly above the national average in the Erie County area. Families may get greater peace of mind by  inquiring directly to Special Needs Assisted Living Residences and finding out more about the security details at the individual facilities. 
  • Erie County is home to world-class medical centers, including those specializing in brain health and dementia care, such as the ECMC Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • In Erie County and all of New York State, Social Security payments aren't taxed, making it an appealing option for some seniors. However, only pensions from the local or federal government and certain public authorities are exempt from tax. This is a potential downside to living in this state, as it could be a drain on seniors' finances.
