Sunrise of West Babylon offers excellent assisted living and the innovative memory care Reminiscence Neighborhood service. Rest easy knowing that three in-house doctors and staff with many years of experience stand ready to help your loved ones, committing themselves to treating residents with the respect they deserve. Residents here enjoy nonstop train service going to Manhattan if they desire and weekly outings to various restaurants, churches, and museums, among other activities.

Long Island is largely recognized for affluence with expensive real estate that attracts tourists and New York commuters as well as retirees. Suffolk county is home to several popular N.Y.C. summertime destinations, such as Southampton and East Hampton. The North Fork area is home to a impressive array of organic farms, gorgeous wineries, and beach-side seafood for the public to enjoy. Suffolk is also known for superb horse farms, world-class golf, and high-end retail in addition to historic mansions, museums, theaters, and wildlife refuges. The county boasts having more lighthouses than any other county in the U.S. with the most popular being found on Fire Island. Convenient public transportation is an important feature as there are trains and taxis that can take you nearly anywhere you need to go. There are two major highways that run through the island though the Long Island Rail Road is the commuter rail system that travels into Manhattan. Suffolk County Transit is the main bus system although the Hampton Jitney and Hampton Luxury Liner offer private bus service as well.

An estimated 15.6% of Suffolk county residents are over the age of 65 with an average income of $71,418 per year. The average cost of assisted living is lower compared to inner city prices though significantly higher than the national average. Seniors pay anywhere from $5,000 - $6,500 a month, though the state offers several programs to help combat costs. The Managed Long Term Care Waiver program and the Assisted Living Program can help low-income retirees while tax benefits can help others. New York does not tax the first $20,000 of yearly IRA withdrawals and does not tax any social security income or income for public pensions (private pension income is partially taxed). The Nassau-Suffolk region has the second-lowest overall crime rate in the nation with impressively low violent crime rates. Retire in Suffolk county for a coastal atmosphere surrounded by natural beauty and beachside comforts with access to the city whenever you need it.
