Senior Living Advisor
Caring
New City is a census-designated place a bit north of New York City. It has an estimated population of 33,559, and 19.2% of those residents are seniors 65 years of age or older, meaning retirees here are surrounded by many peers. New City’s location in Rockland County positions it close to several medical facilities, notably Montefiore Nyack Hospital, Helen Hayes Hospital and Good Samaritan Hospital.
New City’s nursing home residents, on average, pay $13,748 each month for semiprivate rooms, per the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey. That rate significantly exceeds the national average, which is $7,756. Seniors with advanced needs can turn to nursing homes for services such as 24-hour monitoring and medical supervision, as well as care from occupational, speech and physical therapists. Reflecting that level of care, nursing homes tend to be expensive. Older adults whose abilities make home health care or assisted living viable may wish to consider those instead, as they are typically more affordable.
This guide looks at what a typical senior pays for care in New City and concludes with a list of New City–area resources that support older adults.

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Focusing solely on New City, this part of the guide hones in on the median monthly price of specific senior care arrangements. Home care and home health care carry identical rates of $4,957. Assisted living is a bit pricier at $5,154 per month. In nursing homes, the most expensive option, seniors pay an average of $13,748 for semiprivate arrangements and $14,228 for private arrangements. Genworth doesn’t have costs for adult day care for New City, but it’s typically the least expensive care type.

Many local resources are available for New City’s seniors. The CDP’s older adults can make use of the following organizations and programs in two broad ways. Some make it easier to continue living at home, thus pushing the need to transition to a more expensive arrangement farther into the future. Other services step in when higher levels of care, like those in a nursing home, do become necessary.
