New York Senior Living Communities

The report would broadly define assisted living as the provision, arrangement, or coordination, either directly or indirectly, of housing, home care, and any other services requiring licensure or certification under Article 7 of Social Services Law or Article 36 of Public Health Law. The report states: "The definition covers a wide array of housing with services options and provides maximum choice and flexibility."

An adult care home is established and operated for the purpose of providing long-term residential care, room, board, housekeeping, personal care, and supervision to five or more adults unrelated to the operator. Adult homes may be either proprietary, public, or non-profit.

An enriched housing program means an adult care facility established and operated for the purpose of providing longterm residential care to five or more adults, primarily persons 65 years of age or older (no more than 25 percent under 65 and all are 55 or older), in community integrated settings resembling independent housing units. Such programs must provide or arrange for the provision of room and board, housekeeping, personal care, and supervision.

Assisted Living Program (ALP) (Medicaid program) is available in some adult home and enriched housing programs, combines residential and home care services. It is designed as an alternative to nursing home placement for individuals who have historically been admitted to nursing homes for social rather than medical reasons. The operator of the ALP is responsible for providing or arranging for resident services that must include room, board, housekeeping, supervision, personal care, case management, and home health services.
