The benefits of in-home care for New York families

Assisted living in New York state averages around $6,000 a month statewide, and costs in New York City run considerably higher. Keeping a loved one at home is usually more affordable for families.


Care needs and options also look different depending on where you live. Upstate, older rural residents often struggle to age in place due to limited transportation and shortages in local care services. In New York City, facility costs put care out of reach for many families. In-home care works for both.
