Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

You can check any facility's record free. TODO: name your state's licensing search tool and quality-lookup tool once researched. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

Did New York's 2014 Medicaid expansion change anything for senior long-term care eligibility?

No — New York's 2014 ACA Medicaid expansion (and its earlier 2001 Family Health Plus expansion) covers non-elderly low-income adults. Long-term-care Medicaid for seniors uses entirely separate aged/blind/disabled eligibility rules that were not changed by either expansion.

Does Medicaid ever try to recover money from a family after a senior on Medicaid passes away?

Yes — New York's Medicaid Estate Recovery Program can file a claim against a deceased recipient's estate to recover what Medicaid paid for long-term care, subject to spousal and other protections.

What does New York's Long Term Care Ombudsman actually do, and is it really free?

The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program investigates and helps resolve complaints for residents of nursing homes and assisted living/adult care facilities, and advocates for residents' rights. It is free, independent of any facility, and acts only with resident consent.

How do I report suspected abuse or neglect of an older adult in Erie County?

Call Erie County Department of Social Services Adult Protective Services at (716) 858-6877, or the statewide New York abuse-reporting line at 1-844-697-3505 (8:30am-8pm, NY only). Call 911 if someone is in immediate danger.
