Memory care is secured, dementia-specific assisted living. New York requires a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence (SNALR) certification — an add-on to an ALR license under 10 NYCRR Part 1001 — rather than a wholly separate memory-care license.

The Great Neck market specifically
North Shore University Hospital in nearby Manhasset anchors acute care, and a large Jewish retiree community supports kosher-dining and culturally specific programming at several nearby communities, including Atria Park of Great Neck.
Families in Great Neck often specifically seek out kosher dining and culturally matched programming, which narrows the comparison set even among nearby North Shore communities.
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.
