Who is actually on shift

Ask how many caregivers and med aides are on the floor at 3 a.m., not the building-wide daytime ratio. Ask what happens when someone calls in sick, and whether the community uses agency staff to fill gaps.

Ask how long the administrator has been in post. Turnover at the top is one of the better predictors of turnover below it.

Questions families ask

Hospice vs. palliative care -- families on Staten Island often confuse these. What's the real difference?

Hospice is comfort-focused care for a life-limiting illness, generally when a physician expects six months or less if the disease runs its normal course, and generally requires stepping back from curative treatment. Palliative care focuses on symptom relief and quality of life, and can run alongside curative treatment at any stage of an illness.

CCRC vs. standalone assisted living -- which fits a Staten Island family better?

A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) bundles independent living, assisted living, memory care and often nursing care on one campus, usually with a substantial entry fee, keeping a couple together across changing care needs. A standalone assisted living community has no entry fee and a simpler admissions process, but no guaranteed spot at a higher care level later.

What does NYSDOH actually license when a Staten Island community calls itself "assisted living"?

New York State Department of Health licenses a base Adult Care Facility (Adult Home, Enriched Housing Program, or Residence for Adults), then permits an optional Assisted Living Residence (ALR) certification under 10 NYCRR Part 1001 on top of that. A community can only market itself as assisted living if it actually holds the ALR certification, not just the base ACF license.
