The Niagara Falls market specifically

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.

Questions families ask

What is New York's Assisted Living Program (ALP), and how is it different from a nursing home Medicaid waiver?

The ALP is a Medicaid State Plan service (not a 1915(c) waiver) delivered inside a licensed Adult Home or Enriched Housing Program, covering personal care, nursing, and therapies — but not room and board — for residents who need more than adult-home-level support but not full nursing home care.

What is the Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) waiver, and who qualifies?

NHTD is a 1915(c) HCBS Medicaid waiver, administered through Regional Resource Development Centers, that helps people avoid or transition out of nursing homes into community settings. It explicitly excludes anyone already in an ALP or other licensed congregate care setting.

What is CDPAP, and can I get paid to care for a family member in New York?

The Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program lets a Medicaid recipient hire, train, and supervise their own personal assistant — which can be a friend or most family members, but not a spouse or the recipient's own legally designated representative.

What is Managed Long Term Care (MLTC), and is it mandatory?

MLTC is New York's managed-care model bundling home care, personal care, adult day health care, and nursing home care through DOH-approved plans. It has been mandatory since 2012 for dual-eligible adults 21+ needing more than 120 days of community-based long-term care.
