Questions families ask

What does New York actually license when a place calls itself "assisted living" in the Buffalo area?

New York's Department of Health licenses Assisted Living Residences (ALR) under Public Health Law Article 46-B, but an operator must first hold a base Adult Care Facility certificate (Adult Home or Enriched Housing Program) before it can add ALR licensure — it is a two-step framework, not a single license.

What is the difference between an Enhanced Assisted Living Residence (EALR) and a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence (SNALR)?

Both are add-on certifications to a base ALR license. EALR lets residents age in place with more physical decline (ambulation help, incontinence care, medical equipment dependence). SNALR is specifically for dementia/cognitive impairment or other special-needs populations, on a fixed set of beds.

How do I check whether a Buffalo or Niagara-area facility has any open violations or inspection findings?

Use NYS Health Profiles at profiles.health.ny.gov/acf, which is the state's free public search tool for Adult Care Facility licensing status and survey/inspection history. For nursing homes, cross-check Medicare Care Compare at medicare.gov/care-compare for federal 5-star ratings.

Does New York require assisted living communities to disclose their rates and fee increases in writing?

New York requires ALR-licensed communities to provide a written admission agreement disclosing services and fees, though the specific format and level of itemization can vary by operator — always ask for the full written schedule, not a verbal quote.
