Nearby areas, including Kingston ($4,100), Albany ($5,050) and Binghamton ($5,270), are also at the higher end of the price range.

Cost of Assisted Living Comparison Chart

The type of care needed is undoubtedly the biggest factor contributing to the cost of senior care. In Brooklyn, the cost of a semiprivate room in a nursing care facility is $12,091, which is over twice the amount of assisted living ($5,916). If homemaker ($4,576) or home health aide ($4,767) services are to be considered, don’t forget to factor in the expense of a residential home’s upkeep, utility and grocery costs.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Brooklyn

Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) 
 
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.centerlighthealthcare.org/allinclusive#enroll" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE</a>) is open to both Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries and is intended for families that wish to have seniors live at home instead of in a skilled nursing home. However, if an individual can no longer be safely supported at home or in an adult day care, the program will help pay for care in a nursing facility. 
 
Assisted living residents can also take advantage of the PACE program. While it doesn&rsquo;t cover the cost of room and board, the program does provide medical services and equipment that would otherwise be an added expense. To qualify, participants must be at least 55 years old, require skilled nursing and be enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid. If you don&rsquo;t have Medicare or Medicaid, you can pay for PACE privately. Benefits are determined on a case-by-case basis and are specified only for medical and care services. 
 
For more information on the Brooklyn PACE program, call (833) 252-2737, Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. TTY users should call 711. 
 
New York State Supplement Program (SSP) 
 
SSP is part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://otda.ny.gov/programs/ssp/#apply" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">monthly benefit</a>&nbsp;paid to most Supplemental Security Income (SSI) individuals. It provides financial assistance to individuals who are age 65 and older, blind or disabled, a New York resident, limited by income and resources and a U.S. citizen or otherwise meet citizenship requirements. Seniors are automatically eligible for Medicaid if they&rsquo;re eligible for SSP. 
 
You must submit an application for federal SSI benefits, which will serve as your SSP application. Unfortunately, there is no online SSI application, but you can schedule an appointment with your local Social Security office by calling (800) 772-1213. 
 
Elderlife Bridge Loan 
 
Seniors who don&rsquo;t qualify for Medicaid or receive enough Social Security Income (SSI) can open a line of credit to help pay for assisted living.&nbsp;Bridge loans are a temporary solution while permanent funding is sought out. Loans are based on credit worthiness, but several cosigners are allowed, and payments can be split amongst family members. Lenders typically require a plan for permanent funding be in place before approving a loan. 
 
To find out more information about the Elderlife program, please call (888) 228-4500, email&nbsp;<a href="mailto:info@elderlifefinancial.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">info@elderlifefinancial.com</a>&nbsp;or fill out a&nbsp;<a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/contact-elderlife/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">contact form</a>.

New Yorkers who have limited financial income may receive low-cost or free medical assistance through the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/#qualify" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NYS Medicaid State Plan</a>. It can help to pay for care in a nursing home or through home health agencies, and it also provides seniors with the medical equipment, transportation and supplies necessary to ensure quality of life. 
 
To qualify, you must be age 65 or older, a resident of the state of New York, a U.S. national citizen or have satisfactory immigration status. To meet financial requirements, single seniors&rsquo; income must be $842 per month or less, and couples must have an income of less than $1,233 per month. 
 
Even if your income is a bit over the limit, you may still be eligible for Medicaid with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/excess_income.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medicaid Excess Income program</a>, also known as the spend-down or surplus-income program. The amount of excess income is similar to a deductible; once your medical bills meet the requirements for a particular month, Medicaid pays your additional medical bills for the rest of the month. 
 
The Medicaid agency usually has 45 days to process your application, and if the application requires a disability determination, the agency can take 90 days. Once eligibility has been decided, you will receive notification in the mail with further instructions. 
 
<a href="https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/program/longterm/alps.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NY Assisted Living Program</a>&nbsp;(ALP) is a waiver that pays for the services of licensed assisted living residences for individuals who require a high level of care, but not so intensive that nursing home care is necessary. Services paid by ALP include personal care, room and board, housekeeping, recreational activities and personal emergency response services. This program is open to Medicaid-eligible and ineligible individuals. 
 
To apply for Medicaid, call (855) 355-5777,&nbsp;<a href="https://nystateofhealth.ny.gov/individual" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">apply online</a>&nbsp;or visit the local office in your area.
