Assisted living is an excellent option for older adults who value their independence but could benefit from a helping hand with daily routines. For families exploring care options on Staten Island in New York, one of the first questions that comes up is: “What will assisted living cost?”

Below, we’ll walk you through what services and amenities are typically included, what items may require additional costs, and how to plan financially for choosing assisted living at our community.
