Back to top Assisted living residences in New York are required to provide housing, 24-hour monitoring, daily meals and personal care services to five or more adult residents. However, depending on the needs of the residents and the level of service offered, the State classifies assisted living residences in these three ways:- Basic Assisted Living Residence (ALR) – ALRs are for seniors who are medically stable and relatively independent, but need some assistance with the activities of daily living such as bathing, toileting, dressing or eating.
- Enhanced Assisted Living Residence (EALR) – Enhanced residences were designed for seniors with more limiting physical conditions, such as severe arthritis, who require more intensive assistance with the activities of daily living such as walking or transferring in and out of bed.
- Special Needs Assisted Living Residence (SNALR) – Special needs residences are certified to care for adults with conditions such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. SNALRs develop individualized plans of care tailored to the unique needs of each resident.

Back to top
Assisted Living in New York is regulated by the New York State Department of Health. The Department is responsible for issuing licenses to communities providing assisted living. Facilities are inspected every 12-18 months and are required to renew their license every two years.
The New York Department of Health enforces strict regulations regarding assisted living homes, and all facilities must be satisfactory in several categories, including the structural and environmental aspects of the facility itself, meeting fire safety standards, and undergoing a thorough background check of all employees.Legislation of New York Assisted Living Facilities
Back to top During the 2011-2012 legislative session, several bills (AB 8861, AB 8862 and AB 8870) were put forward that addressed the education of direct care staff in adult care facilities, penalties for violations and requiring a registered nurse be on staff at facilities certified for enhanced assisted living or special needs assisted living. The New York chapter of Assisted Living Federation of America worked to kill the bills, citing that their passage would have negatively affected the assisting living providers and their residents.Call an Advisor
