Three things worth knowing first

  • Medicare may cover a short rehab stay after a qualifying inpatient hospital admission, but it does not pay for long-term custodial nursing care.
  • Nursing facilities are the one senior care category with federal CMS star ratings.
  • Get your state's semi-private and private-room medians from CareScout, and note that semi-private is often Medicaid-weighted and lower than a private-pay quote.
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

Is there a Long Island-specific senior care cost figure, or only a statewide number?

Only a statewide figure is published. CareScout confirms that its publicly downloadable National and State Data Tables report, the source for the cost figures cited throughout this site, provides state-level and national medians only. CareScout's underlying survey does collect metro-area (MSA-level) data that feeds its separate interactive online cost calculator, but that breakout is not included in the downloadable state tables.

Who is the Long-Term Care Ombudsman for Suffolk County, and what do they do?

Suffolk County's regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman Coordinator is Elizabeth Maxim, sponsored by Family Service League (FSL), 1444 Fifth Ave., Bay Shore, NY 11706, phone 631-470-6755. The Ombudsman Program advocates for residents in Suffolk County skilled nursing homes, assisted living, adult homes, and family-type homes for adults, and operates as part of the statewide Long Term Care Ombudsman Program housed within the NY State Office for the Aging.

Who is the Long-Term Care Ombudsman for Nassau County?

Nassau County's regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman Coordinator is Mary Clare Campion, sponsored by Family and Children's Association, located at 377 Oak Street, Fifth Floor, Garden City, NY 11530, phone 516-466-9718. Like Suffolk's coordinator, this office is part of the statewide Long Term Care Ombudsman Program administered under the NY State Office for the Aging.

What's the statewide hotline if I don't know who my local Long-Term Care Ombudsman is?

New York's statewide Long Term Care Ombudsman hotline is 1-855-582-6769. It connects callers to the Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman, an independent office housed within the NY State Office for the Aging, which supervises Regional Ombudsman Coordinators, including Suffolk's and Nassau's, across the state.
