Questions families ask

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.

What is a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence (SNALR), and does it matter for memory care?

SNALR is New York's actual memory-care certification -- a certification layered on an existing Assisted Living Residence (ALR) license under 10 NYCRR Part 1001, requiring an Individualized Service Plan for each resident with dementia or cognitive impairment. It matters because "memory care" itself is just a marketing phrase; SNALR is the regulated credential behind it.

How is a nursing home licensed differently from assisted living in New York?

Nursing homes are licensed under a completely separate rule chapter, 10 NYCRR Part 415, distinct from the Adult Care Facility and ALR/EALR/SNALR framework that governs assisted living and memory care. Nursing homes provide 24-hour licensed nursing care; assisted living provides personal care and supervision but not ongoing skilled nursing.
