The New Dorp market specifically

New Dorp Lane's senior-friendly retail corridor is one of the few places on Staten Island where errands, a doctor's appointment and a visit to an assisted-living community can all happen within a few blocks.

New Dorp's retail corridor draws comparisons to Great Kills further south -- both are hubs, but New Dorp sits closer to the hospital corridor.

Questions families ask

What is the NHTD waiver, and how is it different from MLTC?

The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) waiver is a Medicaid 1915(c) home- and community-based services waiver, administered through NYSDOH Regional Resource Development Centers, for Medicaid-eligible people 65+ (or younger with a disability) assessed as needing nursing-home-level care who want to receive services in the community instead. MLTC is a managed-care delivery system; NHTD is a specific waiver program.

What is New York's Assisted Living Program (ALP), and does it pay room and board?

The Assisted Living Program (ALP), under 18 NYCRR Part 494, is Medicaid-funded care delivered inside a qualifying Adult Home or Enriched Housing Program setting -- covering personal care, home health aides, nursing, therapy, medical supplies, adult day health care and RN case management. It folds room and board into its rate structure differently than a pure HCBS waiver, so the exact private-pay portion varies by community.

Is ACA Medicaid expansion the same thing as long-term care Medicaid for seniors?

No. New York fully expanded Medicaid under the ACA effective January 1, 2014, covering adults 19-64 up to 138% of the federal poverty level with no asset test. Long-term care Medicaid for seniors uses a completely separate pathway -- the non-MAGI aged/blind/disabled test -- which is asset-tested and has its own spousal protection rules.

What is New York's nursing home Personal Needs Allowance, and why is it so low?

New York's nursing home resident Personal Needs Allowance (PNA) is $50 per month -- unchanged since the 1980s, and among the lowest in the country; 33 states pay more, in a $52-$200 range. A 2024 state senate bill proposed raising it to $128, but it has not been enacted, and the PNA remains $50/month.
