Manhattan is the smallest New York City borough, known for Times Square, the Empire State Building, and so much more. Here, seniors and their families can expect to find a range of high-end senior living communities.
Nursing homes, or skilled nursing facilities, provide seniors with 24-hour medical care via trained medical professionals like nurses and doctors. Seniors who have significant chronic health concerns that can’t be addressed in their current homes may benefit from this type of care. On average, New York City nursing homes cost about $12,471 per month. However, within Manhattan, nursing homes are likely to be much more expensive due to the borough’s higher cost of living.
A Place for Mom doesn’t partner with standalone skilled nursing facilities, but 100% of our partner assisted living and memory care communities in Manhattan provide part- or full-time on-site nursing services through third-party care agencies. If 24/7 medical care isn’t currently necessary, look to our partner assisted living and memory care communities for your loved one’s long-term senior care and housing needs. This guide contains helpful, local information and resources related to long-term senior care in Manhattan.
Types of care available in Manhattan, NY
Although the expenence of needing to make this transition was not ideal, my experience w/ Arden easier than anticipated. Every single person I Interacted w/ was pleasent and I truly feel my great aunt is getting the best care possible. EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS.
The only helpful thing would be using Touchpoint to create the shopping list when supplies run out. I often get multiple calls a day when they run out of soap supplies. Really minor because of such great care and medical coordination. Very happy with the transparency and visibility, the family app with activity participation levels and photos is great as well.
My father in law is doing okay here at this community, he is still adjusting, but they are caring for him well. We do feel comfortable with his move to this community, it is a nice place. [Removed] is amazing. She was great to work with, she was very helpful, and understanding. The front desk receptionist isn't very pleasant, but the rest of the staff is very kind, and helpful. His room is well maintained when we visit, but the guest restroom could be better maintained. They have been very accommodating, and this is a community I would recommend.
