Frequently Asked Questions about Independent Living in New York

How many independent living communities are listed on this page?
This page features 209 independent living communities in New York. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right independent living community in New York?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in New York, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting independent living communities in New York?
