10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Bronx, NY

Answer a few questions to get personalized results

Who are you searching for?

Nestled along the border of Upstate New York and across the Harlem and East rivers from Queens and Manhattan, the Bronx — also referred to as Bronx County — ranks as the third most densely populated county in the United States. As of 2021, 14% of the more than 1.4 million population in the Bronx was 65 or older. As such, the Bronx offers a multitude of senior care community options for the older adults. A Place for Mom’s network assisted living communities are generally clustered in the northern, more suburban portion of the Bronx.

In 2022-2023, the average monthly cost of assisted living in the Bronx among A Place for Mom’s partner communities is around $7,000, according to proprietary data. This pricing is similar to the pricing of assisted living at A Place for Mom’s partner communities in Queens and Staten Island. Assisted living in the Bronx allows for older adults to receive long-term housing and support with activities of daily living.

Like Medicare, Medicaid can’t cover the cost of room and board in assisted living communities in the Bronx.

However, eligible seniors may be able to cover some costs associated with assisted living through the Assisted Living Program (ALP). Note that older adults don’t necessarily have to qualify for Medicaid to utilize ALP. Program restrictions may limit how many elder New Yorkers can participate in the ALP.

Some communities may honor veterans and their families by offering a one-time or recurring veteran or military discount. It’s a good idea to inquire about this during a tour of a prospective community.
