Ridgewood, a suburb of the New York metropolitan area, was first settled in 1700. The historic town offers many cultural amenities, with a well-preserved downtown and beautiful parks. The overall population in Ridgewood is 25,056, with 14.1% of them adults aged 65 and over. Seniors living in Ridgewood have access to many health care professionals, with nearly double the number of physicians available to residents than the U.S. average. The Valley Hospital has a unit dedicated to acute care for the elderly, with geriatric nurses, social workers and other senior care health practitioners on its inpatient team.
Nursing home costs in Ridgewood are quite high, according to the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey. A semiprivate nursing home room in Ridgewood averages $11,711 a month, considerably more expensive than the national average of $7,756 for a comparable room.
Seniors who require 24-hour supervision with ongoing health care support provided by skilled nurses and personal care aides often need placement in a nursing home setting. However, many seniors may find that home health care services can be a more appropriate and cost-effective way to receive the care and support needed to age in place. Others may benefit from moving to an assisted living facility rather than a costly nursing home when possible.
