Assisted Living in New York State Law

New York State Law officially defines Assisted Living as: An entity which provides or arranges for housing, on-site monitoring, and personal care and/or home care services (either directly or indirectly) in a home-like setting to five or more adult residents unrelated to the assisted living provider…(The provider) must also provide daily food service, twenty-four hour on-site monitoring, case management services, and the development of an individualized service plan for each resident. An operator of assisted living shall provide each resident with considerate and respectful care and promote the resident’s dignity, autonomy, independence and privacy in the least restrictive and most home-like setting commensurate with the resident’s preferences and physical and mental status.
