The staff was friendly and helpful, they did have a lot of activities to offer residents, and always tried to answer our questions. My mom didn't take advantage of a lot of the activities but people were very friendly.

5 / 5.0

My father has been a resident for almost a month now. He was extremely nervous and skeptical about moving into assisted living. He is adjusting really well. He is eating more regularly than when he was home by himself. He is socializing with others, which is improving his mental well-being.

Costs of independent living in the Rochester, New York, area

The average actual cost for Rochester independent living is $3,359 within our network of partners, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data.[03] The cost figure for independent living reflects what residents actually paid at our network facilities and reflects a variety of floor plans, amenities and other variables.

Rochester’s cost of living is substantially lower than that of the average New York area and compares favorably with the nation as a whole.[04] New York also has favorable tax laws for seniors, so their income may stretch further in Rochester than in other areas.[05] This retiree-friendly tax break allows all Social Security retirement benefits to be exempt from taxation; seniors can also take advantage of the fact that income from retirement accounts or a private pension can be deductible up to $20,000.

The following chart represents baseline and starting rent costs for comparison among Rochester and the surrounding areas.

How people pay for independent living in Rochester, New York

There are several options for paying for independent living in Rochester that can fit your life circumstances and budget, although you will likely need to pay for the majority of your independent living costs through a private pay method. Please note that while public pay methods and benefits do not cover independent living costs, Medicare and Medicaid might cover the costs of in-home care services that you might need to use.

Private pay methods in Rochester, New York

Independent living is typically paid from accumulated assets and resources the retiree has, such as individual savings accounts, Social Security benefits, pensions, investment returns, and retirement accounts such as a 401(k) or IRA.

VA benefits for independent living in Rochester, New York

Veterans who receive the VA Pension can use that as a resource to cover the costs of their Rochester independent living. Some benefits can help in addition to the VA pension or be stacked on top of it. For example, a veteran with a qualifying disability who is enrolled in VA health care and receives the VA Pension may also receive the VA Aid and Attendance benefit. This can be a powerful tool because the additional stipend can be used for anything that boosts the veteran’s quality of life.

Veterans must meet at least one of the following criteria to receive the Aid and Attendance benefit:

  • The senior requires help with at least one activity of daily living, such as eating or dressing.
  • The senior has a condition that would keep them bedridden without additional care all or most of the day.
  • The senior’s eyesight is significantly impaired.
  • The senior currently resides in a nursing home or skilled nursing facility.

The VA has a lengthy approval process, so it might be wise to seek qualified help to ensure the application is processed promptly and the first time submitted. A good resource for this in Rochester is the Monroe County Veterans Service Officers, who are specifically accredited by the VA to represent veterans. VSOs can also be found at veterans organizations, such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) or the Rochester chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America.

Rochester also has a regional benefit office for veterans in the area that can help guide seniors through the process and provide resources.

Rochester, New York, Medicaid for independent living

The goal of New York State Medicaid is to provide low-income individuals with healthcare services like hospital visits, rehabilitation care, and standard medical appointments. New York State Medicaid, however, does not cover the costs of independent living communities. If the senior requires home-based services because of a medical disability, they can apply for Home and Community-Based Waiver Services, which can help defray some of the costs.

In New York, there are multiple options for applying for Medicaid. Individuals can apply through the NY State of Health. They can also apply through Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), by calling the Medicaid helpline, or through the local Department of Social Services office. Seniors should explore these benefits and research the ways New York State Medicaid might be able to improve their health and living situations.  An ombudsman is also a good resource to help guide you through the process.

Medicare independent living coverage in Rochester, New York

Medicare does not cover independent living room and board costs; however, it may cover medically necessary at-home care for short-term medical situations. Medicare is a federal health insurance program for individuals 65 years of age or older and certain younger people with disabilities. It covers items such as general practitioner visits, medical equipment, and hospital stays.

Individuals can apply online or at the local Social Security Administration office. Those living in Rochester can seek out local resources such as New York’s Health Insurance Information, Counseling, and Assistance Programs that provide accurate and objective counseling about Medicare and related programs. The office of the Ombudsman is another resource to connect seniors with advocates and help them with the process of determining eligibility and applying for Medicare benefits. Individuals should also consider investigating the Medicare Savings Program to see whether they qualify for financial assistance. This might help open up some income to pay for independent living costs. Another cost-savings program in New York is the Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) Program, which helps pay for Medicare Part D (drug costs) for seniors.
