Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in West Babylon

 

  • West Babylon is among the costliest places to live in the state and nation, featuring an overall cost of living that exceeds the national norm by 72.3%. This is mainly due to the city’s high real estate costs, with housing prices coming in about 25% higher than in a typical U.S. city. However, residents pay about 21% less for health care, and the state funds programs, such as the Managed Long Term Care program, to help qualified seniors pay for residential memory care.

 

  • Good Samaritan University Hospital sits about 3 miles outside of West Babylon in West Islip. This hospital has a neurology department that offers rehabilitative services for those with some forms of memory loss, including speech and swallowing, occupational and recreational therapies. It also has a palliative care department that serves those in the late stages of dementia and hosts support groups for family members.

About 6 in 10 Medicare beneficiaries get the flu vaccine annually, reducing their risks of flu-related complications.

 

  • West Babylon seniors can claim a state income tax deduction of up to $20,000 to reduce what they owe to the state in taxes, and Social Security benefits are entirely tax-exempt, meaning many memory care residents pay very little taxes to the state. Additionally, prescription and over-the-counter medications are exempt from state taxes, offering savings for seniors managing chronic health conditions, such as dementia.

 

  • West Babylon’s crime rate is lower than 31% of U.S. cities and 19% of New York communities, although it aligns with the average for all similarly sized communities nationwide.
