COVID-19 Rules for Assisted Living Bronx, NY

For assisted living communities, COVID-19 rules and regulations are typically set at the state level. You can view specific rules on our guide to assisted living in NY. These rules change often, and many communities have policies in place that go above and beyond what’s required by the state, so you should contact your local community for more information. Additionally, you can contact your local Area Agency on Aging to learn more.

How to Pay for Assisted Living in Bronx, NY

The typical senior in the Bronx pays $5,750 per month for assisted living placement, which is around $1,250 more than the average American.

Assisted Living in the Bronx vs. Nearby Cities

Assisted living costs vary greatly across New York state. Kingston’s median fee is about $80 per month below the state average of $4,580, while in Ithaca, the typical senior can expect to pay $8,075 per month. Although above the state average by $190 per month, Poughkeepsie is still one of the most affordable cities within two hours of the Bronx.

  • Bronx: $5,750
  • New York: $4,580
  • National: $4,500
  • Poughkeepsie: $4,770
  • Kingston: $4,500
  • Ithaca: $8,075

Assisted Living vs. Other Types of Senior Care in Bronx, NY

Although not the most affordable type of care, assisted living’s $5,750 average is more competitive when factoring other costs into the overall figure. For example, homemaker agencies typically charge $5,529, and home health aides charge $5,720, but in both cases, the senior still needs to pay their existing home maintenance bills, which wouldn’t be necessary if they chose assisted living. Nursing home fees are significantly higher. The average semiprivate room commands fees of $12,471 per month. However, if a senior is capable of attending an adult day center, they can get ongoing senior care services for just $1,950.

  • Assisted Living Facility: $5,750
  • Homemaker Services: $5,529
  • Home Health Aide: $5,720
  • Adult Day Health Care: $1,950
  • Nursing Home Facility (semiprivate room): $12,471

Its purpose is to help low-income residents who may otherwise be unable to afford legal advice and representation in civil law matters. It can help seniors struggling to access benefits that help pay for their long-term care in addition to providing support if their civil rights have been breached.
