We like the care at this community. The staff is very nice and we like the staff who are outstanding. The owner is wonderful and my mom really is happy with the care. I like knowing that the community is clean and an older community. The menu is good and they could use some small improvements. I like that they do offer her activities. We would recommend this community for good care for other families.

If you travel to New York City, chances are that at some point, you’ll find yourself in Queens! The largest in size of NYC’s five boroughs, Queens is one of the most culturally diverse places in the world. It’s also home to the both of the Big Apple’s airports, the U.S. Open tennis tournament, Citi Field where the Mets play, and the beaches and seaside villages of the Rockaways. With a seemingly endless amount of art and history museums, music and ethnic food festivals, and unmistakable icons of New York, Queens distinguishes itself as an enchanting world within a city, an urban marvel with a variety of lifestyle options.

In Queens, senior apartments are communities geared exclusively toward residents 55+ and provide amenities similar to a typical apartment complex. These communities offer older adults an easier lifestyle by taking care of tasks such as yard work and household repairs, but they typically provide limited organized social events and few additional services compared to those offered by independent or assisted living communities.

Cost of Senior Apartments in Queens, NY

The median monthly cost of a senior apartment in 2019 was about $1,200 in the New York City metropolitan area and $1,100 in the state of New York. To learn more about the cost of senior apartments in Queens, contact A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors.
