It's a lovely community because the residents are fairly active and cognitively sharp. The dining can be improved. The food choices could be improved. The offer trips and activities. They offer exercise and bingo as well as other other options for activities. They do good with transportation for their residents. The staff are lovely and very helpful.
We picked this community because, cost was a big factor, the type of community and where it's located, and the outdoor spaces. There is lack of communication with the nursing staff. The variety of the food can improve and the taste as well.
When we first came to visit we knew this was the place for our loved one we thought it was just perfect - the community is very clean and we thought the administrative team was very helpful. The value for the money is a 5 plus, it is definitely there. They do have a lot of different things for our loved one and the other residents to do during the day and based on the experience we have had so far we would absolutely recommend CareOne at the Cupola to other families.

Paying for assisted living in New York City or any locale can require some careful planning. Most families combine a variety of private and public sources. We’ve compiled information and resources specific to the New York City area below. Or, for a broad overview of payment options, visit our complete guide to paying for long-term care.
The private pay options available to help you pay for New York City assisted living are highly dependent on your loved one’s financial situation. Private pay options include your loved one’s income — like savings, Social Security benefits, pensions, and investment returns — and potential sources of additional income from one or more of the following:
Note that in New York, you may be able to deduct the costs of long-term care on your tax return. In New Jersey, you cannot deduct room and board, but you may qualify to deduct medical expenses incurred in assisted living.
When families search for assisted living, a primary concern is safety. Families want to feel confident that their loved ones are properly taken care of and live in safe, secure conditions. This is why it’s important to have some understanding of NYC assisted living laws and regulations as you conduct your search.
The New York State Department of Health is the overarching agency that evaluates and regulates assisted living facilities in NYC. Its Adult Care Facilities/Assisted Living division oversees assisted living and other adult care facilities in New York City and performs regular inspections to ensure quality and safety.
New Jersey has an extensive list of assisted living regulations, which cover everything from licensing to resident rights and staff requirements. The New Jersey Department of Health performs random facility inspections to assess all procedures and resident care.

Because COVID-19 continues to pose a risk to vulnerable populations like the elderly, assisted living facilities in New York City and the surrounding area have implemented strict guidelines to keep residents safe and healthy, but visitors are allowed.
These guidelines include:
Vaccinations. COVID-19 vaccines must be made available to all residents, and staff must receive at least one dose of the vaccination.
Masking. All visitors and staff must wear masks and adhere to the CDC’s guidelines on social distancing.
Staff Safety. Staff must use appropriate personal protective equipment when called for.
Facility Cleanliness. Surfaces must be frequently disinfected, and instructional signage should be hung throughout the facility to encourage frequent hand-washing and other infection prevention practices.

Because the NYC metro is a sprawling area with a high population, there are a number of assisted living options available, ranging from high-end options in the heart of Manhattan to more affordable traditional assisted living residences in the surrounding metro areas.
New York City is home to a number of luxury assisted living communities that are largely based in high-rise buildings, feature elegant décor, and include amenities like movie theaters, coffee shops, heated pools, wine bars, and more. These communities, most of which can be found in Brooklyn and Manhattan, can run as high as $20,000 per month, especially if the senior requires a higher level of care in the form of ongoing assistance or memory care.
The New Jersey side of the NYC metro offers some luxury assisted living options at comparable prices, but they are usually not based out of high-rises like their New York counterparts. Instead, they’re large complexes that may include putting greens, swimming pools, and even five-star chefs.
Assisted living residences provide housing for five or more adult seniors who need help with activities of daily living and personal care. These residences can be found on both the New York and New Jersey sides of the NYC metro, and they offer daily food service, an individualized service plan for each resident, and a 24-hour staff on site, in addition to other amenities and activities specific to each facility. This type of senior housing is a spectrum of privately owned facilities, nonprofit and religious-affiliated communities, and even some government-funded housing.
For seniors who don’t have the means to afford these high-end facilities, the New York Foundation for Senior Citizens works to provide subsidized housing for seniors. These options are often incorporated into existing buildings, with units set aside specifically for independent living or assisted living through the Enriched Housing Program. New Jersey also offers some subsidized housing for senior citizens through its Area Agency on Aging/Aging & Disability Resource Connection.

New York offers a wealth of health care providers for seniors wanting to be proactive about their health or for seniors seeking treatment for chronic conditions. The area has several highly rated hospitals, including:
New York-Presbyterian is ranked No. 1 out of all hospitals in NYC, and No. 7 nationwide, according to U.S. News and World Report. It is affiliated with Columbia and Cornell universities, and has world-class doctors on staff.
NYU Langone Health is ranked No. 2 in NYC, and No. 8 nationwide, according to U.S. News and World Report. This hospital system features state of the art facilities, including an orthopedic hospital dedicated to joint pain and injuries.
Mount Sinai Hospital is ranked No. 3 in NYC, and No. 11 nationwide, according to U.S. News and World Report. This hospital was founded in 1852 and includes a distinguished geriatrics program.
Jersey City Medical Center, part of the RWJ Barnabas Health system, is just across the Hudson from lower Manhattan and ranks highly for its nursing excellence and leadership in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality. It is also known for its outstanding treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure.
As a major metropolitan area, New York City has no shortage of options for public transportation. Many residents choose not to own a car, and the city is undoubtedly navigable without one.
Options for getting around town include buses, taxis, subways, and in many neighborhoods, walking can allow you to accomplish most daily errands. You can find subway and bus routes, fare prices and more at the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) website.

New York City is considered one of the world’s great cultural hubs for good reason. Within a short walk or subway ride, you can find countless museums, galleries, and theaters, as well as beautiful outdoor parks, and restaurants to fit every taste and budget.
For recreation, take a stroll through Central Park or the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. For fun with the whole family, consider a trip to the Prospect Park Zoo! Meanwhile, for those who appreciate the arts, no trip to New York City would be complete without a stop at the Metropolitan Museum of Art — one of the world’s great art museums — or perhaps a show at the equally world-renowned Metropolitan Opera.
