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.
