What to Consider About Memory Care in Kings County

Kings County is a large and densely urbanized community in New York City that encompasses the borough of Brooklyn and some of the surrounding neighborhoods. Over 2.5 million people live in the Kings County area, with nearly 13.5% of them being seniors age 65 and over. For those seniors with Alzheimer's, Huntington's and advanced forms of Parkinson's disease, Kings County has two memory care facilities that provide safe housing, supervision and treatment.

Kings County's memory care facilities, like residential care properties across the state, are licensed and inspected on the state level by the New York State Department of Health Adult Care Facility Services office.

  • The climate of Kings County swings between warm, humid summers and cool, rainy winters and springs. Summertime highs in New York City average 85 degrees with generally high humidity, while winter lows average close to 26 degrees in December and January, potentially affecting seniors with conditions that are sensitive to the cold. Spring and fall bring an average of 46 inches of rain a year, while snow falls unpredictably in winter.
  • The cost of living in Kings County is generally high. Across all categories of personal expenses, costs in Kings County are over 230 percent above the national average. Housing is the major expense for most residents of Brooklyn, with a median home price of $777,700. For comparison, the average home cost in the state of New York is just $281,500, while the national average is $219,700. Despite these costs, seniors may pay less for healthcare in Kings County, where costs stay close to the national average.
  • Crime rates in Kings County are very close to national average rates in most categories. Robbery and motor vehicle offenses are an exception, averaging 25 to 200% the typical national rate, depending on the neighborhood. Violent crimes are less common, which helps keep Brooklyn relatively safe for seniors.
