Questions families ask

Is there a separate published cost for memory care in New York?

No. CareScout's Cost of Care Survey, the primary published cost benchmark used on this site, does not survey or publish a distinct memory care cost category in either its 2024 or 2025 New York State data tables. CareScout only publishes figures for Assisted Living Community, Nursing Home (semi-private and private), Adult Day Health Care, and in-home care categories.

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.
