When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living. To help shed light on real senior living prices, Caring.com has compiled proprietary cost data from its network of more than 75,000 senior living providers to provide insight into the average cost of assisted living in Brooklyn and 69 other cities in New York.
Beyond state Medicaid, the state of New York provides a couple waiver programs that help seniors afford their chosen assisted living facility. The Managed Long Term Care Waiver helps residents with payment in assisted living facilities and the Assisted Living Program helps those who qualify for nursing home care but want to live in an assisted living facility afford it.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in New York page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:

In Brooklyn, assisted living prices have increased by 9.6% in the past year, and they're expected to increase by another 7.7% in 2024. A portion of this 18% surge can be attributed to inflation.

Fortunately, Brooklyn has more affordable rates than some neighboring communities. In West Babylon, prices are likely to rise by almost $1,000 a month. Seniors in Kew Gardens and Yonkers can expect to pay more than $4,900 per month.
