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.

Questions families ask

Is in-home care a realistic alternative to assisted living for a Buffalo-area family?

It depends heavily on the number of hours of care actually needed per week. A few hours a day can be genuinely cheaper than assisted living; true round-the-clock coverage often costs more once you account for multiple caregiver shifts.

What's the difference between independent living and assisted living?

Independent living is age-restricted housing with amenities like dining and activities, for seniors who don't need daily hands-on care. Assisted living is a licensed level of care including help with activities of daily living, medication management, and supportive services.

What's the difference between New York's Assisted Living Program (ALP) and just paying privately for assisted living?

ALP is a Medicaid-funded services track inside a licensed Adult Home or Enriched Housing Program, capped at roughly 4,200 slots statewide, covering services (not room and board). Private pay means the family covers the full rate directly, with no enrollment cap or waitlist.

What's the difference between an Adult Home and an Assisted Living Residence (ALR) in New York?

An Adult Home is the base Adult Care Facility certificate under 18 NYCRR Parts 487/488/490. An ALR is an additional license layered on top of that base certificate under Public Health Law Article 46-B — an operator needs the Adult Home certificate first before it can add ALR licensure.
