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.

No verified memory care provider is currently based in St. James. The closest verified options are listed below.

What the contract does that the tour does not
The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.
