The North Tonawanda market specifically

Who is actually on shift

Ask how many caregivers and med aides are on the floor at 3 a.m., not the building-wide daytime ratio. Ask what happens when someone calls in sick, and whether the community uses agency staff to fill gaps.

Ask how long the administrator has been in post. Turnover at the top is one of the better predictors of turnover below it.

Questions families ask

Is there a state benefit in New York that pays the full cost of assisted living?

No. New York does not have a broad, non-Medicaid subsidy covering the private-pay room-and-board cost of assisted living. The Assisted Living Program (ALP) covers services only, and even that is capped at roughly 4,200 slots statewide.

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.
