New York's Affordable Assisted Living Program
While our community is priced competitively, we understand that senior care can be a costly investment. Seniors often struggle to afford the quality of assistance they need and deserve.
We offer New York’s affordable Assisted Living Program, which is certified to provide Medicaid funded home care services, to provide seniors with the right support, delaying or preventing the need for admission to a nursing home. Whether just moving in or a longtime resident, we help our residents afford quality assistance upon meeting state requirements.
