Before you sign anything

Get the all-in monthly cost in writing at your parent's current assessed care level, ask what triggers the next care level and what it costs, and ask for the rate increase history across the last three years. Communities that will not put these in writing are telling you something.

Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not, which means a second move at the worst possible time.

You can check any facility's record free. NYS Health Profiles (profiles.health.ny.gov) publishes free license status and inspection history for every Adult Care Facility and nursing home. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

SIUH or Richmond University Medical Center gave us a discharge date in 3 days. What do we do first?

Ask the case manager or social worker for the discharge plan in writing, and confirm in writing whether your parent was admitted as an inpatient or held under observation status -- that single fact determines whether Medicare's skilled nursing benefit is even available for a rehab stay afterward.

What's the actual difference between "inpatient" and "observation status" after a hospital stay?

Medicare's skilled nursing facility benefit requires a qualifying inpatient hospital admission. Time spent under "observation status" does not count toward that requirement, even if your parent physically slept in a hospital bed for multiple nights -- ask the hospital directly, and in writing, which status applied.

Can I push back on a hospital discharge date if we're not ready?

Generally, yes -- discharge dates are often less fixed than they initially sound, particularly when no safe discharge plan has actually been arranged yet. Hospitals are required to discharge to a genuinely safe setting; raise specific, concrete concerns with the case management or social work team rather than a general request for more time.

Which Staten Island hospitals do most families deal with during a discharge?

The two acute-care hospitals physically on Staten Island are Staten Island University Hospital (Northwell Health, North campus at 475 Seaview Avenue and South campus commonly cited at 375 Seguine Avenue) and Richmond University Medical Center (355 Bard Avenue), which has a clinical affiliation with Mount Sinai Health System for emergency care.
