Information About Senior Homes in Brooklyn
Located along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, Brooklyn is home to approximately 2.6 million residents, making it the most populated New York City borough. Dutch explorers first settled in the area in the 1600s, naming the settlement after the city of Breukelen in their native Netherlands.
The borough has been a magnet for immigrants for centuries and today boasts a highly diverse mix of ethnic groups throughout its various unique neighborhoods. Brooklyn senior living offers retirees a chance to enjoy many cultures and activities as well as the excitement and entertainment of New York City.
Brooklyn Attractions
Brooklyn is home to many famous attractions, including the iconic Coney Island, where residents and visitors alike stroll the boardwalk while enjoying the cool ocean breeze. For sports fans, Brooklyn senior living makes getting to the game easy, with Yankee Stadium, Madison Square Gardens and the Nassau Coliseum all accessible by subway.
Many seniors enjoy concerts at both the 2,100-seat Brooklyn Academy of Music opera house and the 3,000-seat auditorium of Brooklyn Technical High School. Visiting the Brooklyn Museum or the free Brooklyn Botanic Gardens is also a great way to spend a relaxing afternoon.
Brooklyn Senior Activities
The New York City Housing Authority operates 39 senior centers in Brooklyn, which means that senior living in Brooklyn comes with many opportunities to meet new friends as well as participate in classes, trips and social groups.
Computer labs are located in many centers, including Surf Solomon, Cypress Hills and Roundtable, and are free to use. There are also eight Catholic Charities Neighborhood Services Senior Centers in the borough which offer free health and exercise classes, intergenerational programs and local trips to shows and museums.
Brooklyn Medical Facilities
Brooklyn senior living means world-class medical care is available 24 hours a day at the many area hospitals. The oldest hospital in the borough, The Brooklyn Hospital Center, was awarded the American Heart Association Silver Plus Performance Award in 2010 for outstanding treatment of stroke patients.
The Brooklyn Hospital Center Geriatricians offer specialized clinical services for older adults that work to coordinate care between specialists and departments, preventing medication errors and missed treatments. There is also a specialized 37-bed unit at the hospital dedicated to caring for seniors aged 65 and older, with a family room that is always open for visitors.

With 170 New York City Subways stations and surface buses operated by the Metro Transit Authority (MTA) throughout the borough, getting around the area is easy and affordable.
