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 happens financially when a family runs out of money to pay privately for care?

Most families transition to Medicaid once private funds are close to exhausted — in New York, that typically means the Assisted Living Program (ALP) for assisted-living-level services, or nursing facility Medicaid for skilled nursing, each with its own financial and functional eligibility rules.

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.
