Questions families ask

What is NY Connects, and how does it relate to my county's Office for the Aging?

NY Connects is New York State's Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) network, a free, no-obligation service that helps individuals and families learn about and access long-term care options. In both Nassau and Suffolk counties, the local NY Connects access point runs through the county Office for the Aging: Nassau's information is linked from its Office for the Aging page, and Suffolk's Office for the Aging directly operates its NY Connects, or Choices for Long Term Care, function through its main line, 631-853-8200.

Does Nassau County or Suffolk County have a bigger, more spread-out senior care market?

Suffolk County's senior care market is more geographically spread out, stretching from denser, transit-served western hamlets such as Huntington, Brentwood, Bay Shore, and Islip to more rural, exurban North and South Fork communities that have become popular retirement-relocation destinations. Nassau County's market is more geographically compact, concentrated along its village and LIRR corridor towns, including Garden City, Rockville Centre, Great Neck, Freeport, Long Beach, and Mineola.

What's the difference between standard assisted living and memory care in New York?

Standard assisted living in New York is licensed as an Assisted Living Residence (ALR) under 10 NYCRR Part 1001. Memory care is not a separate license; it's delivered through a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence (SNALR) certification, an additional certification an ALR can obtain to serve residents with dementia or cognitive impairments per an Individualized Service Plan, regulated under the same Part 1001 rules.
