New York State’s variety of lifestyle options makes it an ideal retirement destination.

From the beaches of Long Island, to Niagara Falls and the Finger Lakes out west, to the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains in the north, New York is filled with natural wonders and smaller, quieter towns.

Independent living communities in New York don’t have specific regulations or licensing requirements. Communities are treated as regular rental properties and are subject to laws and codes as outlined in New York Residential tenants’ rights guide.
New York independent living communities can be stand-alone facilities but many may also share a campus with other senior living facilities like assisted living or memory care communities. These communities offer a higher level of care than independent living and are subject to state licensing and regulatory oversight.
