Three things worth knowing first

  • Medicare may cover a short rehab stay after a qualifying inpatient hospital admission, but it does not pay for long-term custodial nursing care.
  • Nursing facilities are the one senior care category with federal CMS star ratings.
  • Get New York's semi-private and private-room medians from CareScout, and note that semi-private is often Medicaid-weighted and lower than a private-pay quote.

Questions families ask

What's the difference between calling APS and calling NYSDOH's facility complaint line?

Adult Protective Services investigates suspected abuse, neglect or financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult, whether at home or in some care settings, and is reached in Staten Island's borough at (929) 221-8794. NYSDOH's facility complaint line -- (212) 417-5990 for Adult Care Facilities, (212) 417-4999 for nursing homes -- is a separate regulatory channel focused specifically on licensed facility violations.

What happens after I make an APS report on Staten Island?

APS staff generally follow up to assess the situation and determine what intervention, if any, is appropriate -- this can range from connecting the individual with support services to, in more serious cases, coordinating with law enforcement or pursuing legal protective measures. The exact process and timeline depend on the specifics of the case.

Can I report suspected abuse anonymously in New York?

Reports to Adult Protective Services can generally be made without formally identifying yourself as the reporter, though providing contact information can help APS follow up if they need more detail. Confirm the current specifics of anonymous reporting directly with the Staten Island borough office or the citywide DSS-OneNumber line before making a report if this is a concern.

When should I call 911 instead of APS?

Call 911 if someone is in immediate danger -- an active assault, a medical emergency, or any situation where waiting for APS to respond during business hours would put someone at serious risk. APS's Staten Island borough line and the citywide DSS-OneNumber line operate during standard business hours and are designed for non-emergency reporting and follow-up.
