Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Brockport

  • Brockport sits near several hospitals, including Unity Hospital and Rochester General Hospital in Rochester and United Memorial Medical Center in Batavia. These hospitals have hundreds of licensed medical professionals and offer specialties such as orthopedics, cardiovascular care and geriatric services. They also house community services, such as educational classes and support groups.
  • Brockport seniors don’t pay state income taxes on their government pension income or Social Security benefits, offering significant tax savings for those who rely mainly on these sources of income. While the state taxes other income at rates of up to 10.90%, it has a $20,000 deduction for taxpayers aged 59.5 and older to help them minimize this expense.  
  • Brockport ranks as safer than 51% of U.S. communities and 41% of cities across New York, and its crime rate is considerably lower than that of cities with similar population sizes. Violent crime is uncommon with a rate of just 0.14 incidents per 1,000 people. Although property-related offenses are more common at 9.21 incidents per 1,000 people, this aligns with average crime rates nationwide, providing peace of mind to seniors relocating to this city for long-term care.
  • Over the course of the year, temperatures in Brockport range from average winter lows of 19 degrees Fahrenheit to summer highs of 78 degrees Fahrenheit, although extreme temperatures may fall as low as 5 degrees Fahrenheit or rise as high as 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The warm season spans early June to mid-September, giving seniors plenty of opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities and amenities, and the cold season lasts from early December through mid-March.
  • The cost of living in Brockport surpasses the national norm by about 3%, mainly due to comparatively high energy costs. In general, residents spend 22% less on health care, 20% less on transportation and 11% less on housing here than in a typical U.S. city, promoting competitive assisted living costs.
  • The AARP Livability Index gives Brockport a score of 60, putting it in the top 40% of U.S. communities for favorability for older adults. Seniors benefit from features such as clean air, access to parks and public transportation.
