The St. George market specifically

St. George is the borough's civic and legal hub, so families here often start their search at Borough Hall or in a courthouse hallway, near the elder-law attorneys who cluster around Richmond County Courthouse.

Because St. George is the transit core -- the Ferry Terminal and every SIR line effectively begins here -- it is also the easiest neighborhood for an out-of-borough family member to reach without a car.

Questions families ask

What county is Staten Island, and does that matter for senior care planning?

Staten Island IS Richmond County -- New York City's smallest borough by population, at roughly 495,747 residents per the 2020 Census, and its only borough that is also a single, standalone county. That matters because every county-level resource on this site -- APS, the ombudsman, NY Connects -- applies uniformly across the whole borough.

Who is the Area Agency on Aging for Richmond County?

NYC Aging (DFTA, the New York City Department for the Aging) is the Area Agency on Aging covering all of Richmond County/Staten Island, reachable by dialing 311 within NYC or (212) 244-6469 from outside. The local NY Connects access point is the Community Agency for Senior Citizens (CASC), (718) 489-3954.

Is Richmond County under mandatory Managed Long Term Care enrollment?

Yes. Mandatory MLTC enrollment in New York City -- including Richmond County/Staten Island -- began under Medicaid Redesign Team Initiative #90, approved August 31, 2012. New York City was actually the first region in New York State to require mandatory MLTC enrollment, ahead of the later rollout on Long Island.

Where is Richmond County's seat, and why does that matter for elder-law needs?

St. George is Richmond County's seat, home to Staten Island Borough Hall (10 Richmond Terrace) and the Richmond County Courthouse. Elder-law attorneys, guardianship proceedings, and other legal matters tied to senior care planning typically run through this North Shore hub.
