The Dongan Hills market specifically

Dongan Hills sits along the SIR line and is popular with retirees who want to stay near Staten Island University Hospital without living directly downtown.

Dongan Hills is often compared directly to South Beach, since both sit near the same stretch of Staten Island University Hospital's campus.

The question about money nobody asks early enough

Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not participate at all, which converts a funding problem into a forced move at the worst possible moment.

You can check any facility's record free. NYS Health Profiles (profiles.health.ny.gov) publishes free license status and inspection history for every Adult Care Facility and nursing home. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

What is Managed Long Term Care (MLTC), and is it mandatory on Staten Island?

MLTC is New York's Medicaid managed-care delivery system for long-term care -- either PACE (age 55+) or MLTC Partial Capitation/Medicaid Advantage Plus. Enrollment has been mandatory in New York City, including Richmond County/Staten Island, since 2012 under Medicaid Redesign Team Initiative #90, approved August 31, 2012.

What is the NHTD waiver, and how is it different from MLTC?

The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) waiver is a Medicaid 1915(c) home- and community-based services waiver, administered through NYSDOH Regional Resource Development Centers, for Medicaid-eligible people 65+ (or younger with a disability) assessed as needing nursing-home-level care who want to receive services in the community instead. MLTC is a managed-care delivery system; NHTD is a specific waiver program.

What is New York's Assisted Living Program (ALP), and does it pay room and board?

The Assisted Living Program (ALP), under 18 NYCRR Part 494, is Medicaid-funded care delivered inside a qualifying Adult Home or Enriched Housing Program setting -- covering personal care, home health aides, nursing, therapy, medical supplies, adult day health care and RN case management. It folds room and board into its rate structure differently than a pure HCBS waiver, so the exact private-pay portion varies by community.

Is ACA Medicaid expansion the same thing as long-term care Medicaid for seniors?

No. New York fully expanded Medicaid under the ACA effective January 1, 2014, covering adults 19-64 up to 138% of the federal poverty level with no asset test. Long-term care Medicaid for seniors uses a completely separate pathway -- the non-MAGI aged/blind/disabled test -- which is asset-tested and has its own spousal protection rules.
