The Knolls is a retirement community in Valhalla, in Westchester County, run by Bethel, a not-for-profit group that has served local seniors for more than 100 years. It sits on 30 acres of wooded grounds, about 10 minutes from White Plains, and offers a full range of care on one campus, from independent living to assisted living and skilled nursing and rehab. That means residents can stay in the same community if their health needs change.
Residents can use a heated indoor pool, a fitness and wellness center, a library, an arts studio, a game room, a salon and barbershop, and dining in a bistro or an elegant dining room. The site lists seven apartment floor plans, from a 701 square foot one-bedroom to a 1,589 square foot two-bedroom with a den and solarium. A monthly services package covers one meal a day, utilities, cable TV, weekly housekeeping and linen service, and scheduled rides to appointments, shopping and the train station.

How much does assisted living cost?
The national median cost of assisted living is $6,200 a month (CareScout Cost of Care Survey, 2025). Costs in New York can be higher or lower. The price goes up when a person needs more help with daily tasks. See our guide to assisted living costs and who pays for the full picture.
Does Medicare pay for assisted living?
No. Medicare does not pay for the rent or the day-to-day help in assisted living. That help is called custodial care, and Medicare does not cover it. Medicare still pays for your medical care while you live there, like doctor visits, hospital care, and home health visits.
What is the difference between assisted living and a nursing home?
Assisted living gives a room, meals, and help with daily tasks like bathing and dressing. Staff are on hand day and night, but it does not give round-the-clock nursing care. A nursing home gives skilled nursing care and rehab around the clock. People who need help but not daily medical care often pick assisted living. People who need daily medical care often need a nursing home.
Who else pays for assisted living besides Medicare?
Most people pay out of pocket. Medicaid pays for care services in assisted living in many states through waiver programs, but it does not pay the rent. A VA pension called Aid and Attendance can add money each month for veterans who need help with daily tasks. Long-term care insurance can pay for part of the cost.
