The Deer Park market specifically

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 license status and inspection history free. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

My mom is 68 with a low income - does New York's ACA Medicaid expansion cover her nursing home or home care costs?

No. New York's 2014 ACA Medicaid expansion covers a different population: adults ages 19-64 without dependent children, up to 138% of the federal poverty level, with no asset test. Long-term care Medicaid for seniors is a completely separate eligibility pathway - it is asset and resource-tested, applies to people 65 and older or those needing institutional-level care, and is what actually covers nursing home care, MLTC, the ALP, and NHTD waiver services.

How much money can my spouse keep if I go on Medicaid for nursing home care in New York in 2026?

For 2026, the community spouse may generally keep the greater of the state minimum Community Spouse Resource Allowance ($74,820) or half of the couple's countable resources, up to the federal maximum of $162,660. The community spouse is also entitled to a Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance of $4,066.50 per month from the institutionalized spouse's income. These figures come from NYSDOH's GIS 26 MA/03 guidance, effective January 1, 2026.

How much spending money is a Medicaid nursing home resident allowed to keep each month in New York?

New York's Nursing Home Resident Personal Needs Allowance is $50 per month - the amount a Medicaid-funded nursing home resident is permitted to keep from their own income for personal expenses, with the rest going toward the cost of their care. According to the NY State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA), this figure has been unchanged since the 1980s, and NYSOFA notes that 33 other states currently pay a higher PNA, ranging from $52 to $200.

What is the MLTC special income standard for Long Island and why does it matter for Medicaid home care?

The special income standard for housing expenses, available to certain individuals enrolled in a Managed Long Term Care plan, varies by NYSDOH region - for the Long Island region specifically, it is $1,701.00. This regional figure is higher than most upstate regions (for comparison, the Central New York region's is $426 and the Western region's is $341), reflecting Long Island's higher housing costs, and remains in effect until updated federal poverty levels are published.
