What to Consider About Memory Care in Bronx County

The Bronx is the fifth-largest county in New York state, with 1,432,132 residents, 12.3% of whom are aged 65 or older and 400,000 of whom have Alzheimer's disease or dementia. This population can rely on the area's 121 memory care facilities for support. In Bronx County and New York State as a whole, memory care facilities are regulated by the New York Department of Health and are called Assisted Living Residences (ALRs).

  • Seniors in New York state benefit from some retirement-friendly tax advantages. Social Security and public pension incomes are not taxed, while private pensions and retirement account withdrawals are only taxed at a partial rate. Inheritances are not taxed, but estates may be taxed at up to 16%.
  • The cost of living in the Bronx is particularly high, which may be a concern for seniors on a budget who can expect to pay 65% more on average than elsewhere in the United States. Housing and transportation are the most expensive spending sectors, each over 100 percent higher than the national average. 
  • Despite its reputation, the crime rate in Bronx County is not as high as one might expect, especially considering its size. Property crime is actually below the national average by half a percentage point, which seniors might be pleased to know. However, violent crime is higher than the average in the rest of the country by 21%.
  • The climate in the Bronx is typical for the area, with a good amount of snow and precipitation. The county gets 1 inch more of snow and 8 inches more of rain per year than the United States average. Seniors who prefer sunny weather can still expect to enjoy 200 sunny days per year and midsummer highs that average around 85 degrees.
