Long Island senior care is split across two counties, each with its own Office for the Aging, its own Long-Term Care Ombudsman region, and its own Adult Protective Services line. New York layers its assisted living licensing (Adult Home, then ALR, then EALR or SNALR) rather than issuing one flat license, and costs run above the national median once a real care-level assessment is added to the base rent.
That is what this site is for. We publish what New York's regulators actually require, what the published CareScout cost data actually says, and which communities across Nassau and Suffolk we have verified — then a local advisor helps you narrow it down. The service is free to your family because communities pay us when a family moves in. You should know that going in, which is why we say it here rather than in the footer.
Long Island Senior Advisor is a free senior care referral service for families across Nassau and Suffolk counties, New York. We help you compare licensed assisted living, memory care, nursing and in-home care options, verify licensing through NYSDOH, and understand what New York Medicaid, Medicare and VA benefits will and will not pay for.
