What is the difference between an Adult Home, Enriched Housing and an ALR?

An Adult Home and an Enriched Housing Program are New York's two base adult care facility licenses; ALR is an added license that requires more services and lets the community call itself assisted living.

Enriched Housing is apartment-style, often with kitchenettes; an Adult Home is more congregate. 12 Buffalo-area communities hold no ALR license; several of them deliver assisted living through Medicaid ALP beds instead. Our adult home vs. enriched housing guide covers the difference.

Is assisted living the same as memory care in the Buffalo area?

No. Memory care in New York means SNALR certification, and only some ALR communities have it.

Which Buffalo-area assisted living communities accept Medicaid?

12 communities hold Assisted Living Program (ALP) beds, New York's Medicaid-funded assisted living; the ALP entry in the Certifications column identifies them.

ALP beds are limited and fill quickly. See how Medicaid pays for assisted living in New York.
