Assisted Living in your area

Help with daily activities in a New York State Adult Care Facility with Assisted Living Residence (ALR) certification, with meals, housekeeping and medication assistance included.

Quick answer

New York's Department of Health regulates assisted living through the state's Adult Care Facility and Assisted Living Residence system.

HomeServicesAssisted Living

Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. In New York, this means an Adult Care Facility license with Assisted Living Residence (ALR) certification under 10 NYCRR Part 1001.

Short answer

We list 58 verified assisted living providers across your metro. Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments.

Three things worth knowing first

  • Ask which services are included in the base rate versus billed as a separate care level.
  • Ask whether the community participates in the Assisted Living Program (ALP) and how many current residents use it.
  • Ask what happens if your parent's needs exceed the community's admission/retention limits under its ALR/EALR certification.
How New York licenses assisted living. New York layers Adult Care Facility, ALR, EALR and SNALR certifications rather than issuing one flat license. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

How do I report suspected elder abuse or neglect in Suffolk County?

Contact Suffolk County Adult Protective Services directly at 631-854-3232. This is the county's confirmed direct referral line, housed within the Suffolk County Department of Social Services. For emergencies after 4:30pm on weekdays, or on weekends and holidays, Suffolk County DSS operates a separate after-hours or emergency services line at 631-854-9100.

Who actually investigates elder abuse reports in New York - a state agency or the county?

Adult Protective Services (APS) in New York is administered at the county level, through each county's Department of Social Services, consistent with the state's general structure of county-administered social services under state oversight. In Nassau County, APS operates through the Department of Social Services' Office of Adult Services (516-227-8395); in Suffolk County, it operates through the Suffolk County Department of Social Services (631-854-3232).

What happens after I make an Adult Protective Services report in Suffolk County?

Suffolk County APS caseworkers investigate allegations of abuse or neglect of impaired adults living in the community who depend on others for basic needs, and per the county's own published FAQ, caseworkers have 60 days to complete an assessment after intake. The investigation determines whether the person meets APS criteria and what services or protective interventions may be needed.

Is there a statewide phone number for adult protective services if I'm not sure whether to call Nassau or Suffolk directly?

Yes - New York maintains a statewide OCFS/HSCC number for adult services information and APS routing: 1-844-697-3505. This can help route a call correctly if you're unsure whether Nassau County Adult Protective Services (516-227-8395) or Suffolk County Adult Protective Services (631-854-3232) is the right direct line for your situation.
