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 Massapequa market specifically
One of Nassau's higher senior-population shares (17.1% per ACS estimates) sits in a strong single-family, aging-in-place housing stock, with the LIRR Babylon Branch station and Long Beach and Levittown both a short drive away for comparing options.
Massapequa families frequently cross-shop nearby Levittown and Long Beach, and Suffolk's Babylon corridor just over the county line.
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.
