Questions families ask

What is an Enhanced Assisted Living Residence (EALR), and why would it matter for aging in place?

EALR is an optional New York certification, layered on an existing ALR license under 10 NYCRR Part 1001, that allows a resident to age in place even after developing needs an ordinary ALR is not licensed to keep serving -- specifically physical assistance walking or using stairs, medical-equipment dependency, or chronic incontinence.

How do I check a Staten Island facility's inspection history myself?

NYS Health Profiles publishes free license status and inspection history for every Adult Care Facility at profiles.health.ny.gov/acf, and for every nursing home at profiles.health.ny.gov/nursing_home. Search by region, county, facility name, or service type; nursing home records also include the federal CMS star rating.

What's the difference between an Adult Home and an Enriched Housing Program in New York?

Both are base-level Adult Care Facility license types under NYSDOH, but Enriched Housing Programs are generally structured around apartment-style independent units with supportive services, while Adult Homes are typically more institutional in layout. Either can add ALR certification on top to become licensed for assisted-living-level care.
