Situated in the northern most part of New York City (NYC), the Bronx offers nursing services in a mixture of urban-core living and affluent suburban neighborhoods. While nursing home has become a catchall senior care term for many people, it actually describes a specific type of medical setting that provides skilled nursing care. A skilled nursing facility typically provides specialized nursing care and rehabilitative medical support on a short-term basis, whereas a nursing home usually provides long-term care. These facilities can offer 24/7 care, facilitate recoveries from surgeries or injuries, and offer compassionate hospice care at the end of life.
Skilled nursing care can be ideal for people who need round-the-clock medical care and supervision. However, if your loved one only needs personal care, assistance with meal preparation, or help with memory challenges, assisted living or memory care communities may accommodate their unique needs better.
A Place for Mom partners with assisted living and memory care communities located in the Bronx. The average monthly cost of these communities is around $7,000 a month, which is similar to Queens and Staten Island. These communities can assist elder Bronxites with activities of daily living in a long-term housing setting.

With approximately 18% of NYC’s veterans calling the Bronx their home, there are many resources for veterans in the borough.
Public nursing options are available and may be covered by VA benefits. For veterans interested in living with their fellow brothers-and-sisters-in-arms, the Community Living Center (VA nursing homes) located at James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx may be a good fit. There are also state veterans homes located nearby in Queens and Long Island. These options are usually less expensive than private nursing home options.
For people who prefer to reside in a private nursing home, assisted living community, or memory care community, the VA offers programs to help cover the costs, including the following:
It can be challenging to navigate VA benefits. The New York City Department of Veterans’ Services Bronx location or a local veterans service organization (VSO), such as the American Legion Leonard H. Hawkins Post 156, can typically offer support with VA benefit questions and applications. Additional VSOs are also located near Manhattan.
If your loved one doesn’t qualify for VA benefits or decides they’re not interested in going through the VA application process, they may still qualify for a veteran or military discount at a senior care community. It’s a good idea to inquire about such discounts during a community tour.
The Bronx is known for its diverse population, cultural richness, and distinct neighborhood vibes. Compared to other boroughs, the Bronx has a significant Hispanic population with more than half of its population identifying as such in the latest U.S. Census. There’s also a rapidly growing Asian population in this borough. Plus, the Bronx features a growing population of older adults with 14% of the Bronx population aged 65 and older.
The reality of day-to-day life in the Bronx varies from neighborhood to neighborhood. This is especially true when looking at the two regions in the Bronx: the South Bronx and the North Bronx.
While the boundary lines between the South Bronx and the North Bronx may depend upon who you ask, the dividing line is typically Fordham Road or Pelham Parkway. The South Bronx typically has higher population density neighborhoods with urban core vibes. Some areas have benefited from revitalization in the last few decades.
The North Bronx is generally more affluent than the South Bronx, and its neighborhoods tend to have a more suburban feel like Staten Island. There is usually lower population density in this area. A Place for Mom’s assisted living and memory care partner communities are typically located in the North Bronx.
Nursing homes in the Bronx can vary widely and may be reflective of its surrounding neighborhood. The South Bronx is more likely to have high-rise or multistory nursing homes with cozy units and more compact layouts, which means they may be easier for residents with mobility issues to navigate. The North Bronx generally has more spacious nursing home accommodations that often feature outdoor spaces.
Regardless of location, these skilled nursing facilities typically offer the following care, services, and amenities:
A Place for Mom’s partner communities in the North Bronx often combine assisted living and memory care into a combined community with separate wings. The assisted living wings typically offer the following care, services, and amenities:
Memory care wings in these combined communities typically offer similar services as the assisted living wings but with additional dementia care and support, such as the following:
