There is no published Staten Island-specific figure. The 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey publishes a New York STATE median of $7,110/month for a private one-bedroom assisted living unit -- a statewide figure, not a New York City or Staten Island number, and local pricing in the city likely runs higher.
The detail behind the number
This is one of the more frustrating gaps for families doing early research: the most widely cited cost survey in the industry simply does not break results down below the state level. Any "Staten Island assisted living cost" figure you find quoted elsewhere online is therefore either an estimate, an average pulled from a small number of self-reported listings, or simply the state median relabeled -- not a genuine local survey result.
The responsible way to use the $7,110/month state figure is as a floor for planning purposes, with the expectation that specific Staten Island communities may quote higher, particularly for higher care levels or memory care add-ons. Get actual written quotes from specific communities rather than budgeting around the state median alone.
