Independent living in Rockland County, NY

Who independent living in Rockland County fits

It fits a parent who manages daily life but is tired of a house, stairs, driving or eating alone. Most communities include some meals, housekeeping, transportation and a calendar of activities. Personal care is not included, though many residents add a few hours of home care later.

Rockland sits just over the state line from Bergen County, and many families split time between both. Care plans often need to work around family in New Jersey too.

Where families look

Families ask us about communities and senior apartments in and around Nyack, New City, Pearl River, Suffern, Monsey, Spring Valley and Nanuet. Being close to family and to doctors at Montefiore Nyack Hospital and Bon Secours Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern usually decides the shortlist.

How we help

We sit with you first, then send private-pay independent living options in writing, with what each includes and what costs extra. You visit on your own schedule and decide. You don't pay. There's no fee.

If help at home would let your parent stay put a while longer, compare home care in Rockland County.

The towns with the most licensed listings are Spring Valley (4), New City (3), Chestnut Ridge (2), Haverstraw (2), Garnerville (1), Monsey (1).

Frequently asked questions

How much does independent living cost in Rockland County?

It depends on the community, apartment size and what is included. Ask each community for its written fee schedule. We do not publish community prices.

Is independent living the same as assisted living?

No. Independent living is housing and services without daily hands-on care. Assisted living adds help with bathing, dressing and medications.

Do families pay you?

You don't pay. There's no fee. A licensed agency may pay us a referral fee after a successful private-pay start of care. We do not take a fee on Medicaid funded care.
