The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.

Questions families ask

How do I report suspected abuse or neglect on Staten Island?

Staten Island's borough Adult Protective Services office is reachable at (929) 221-8794. The citywide DSS-OneNumber referral line -- covering all five boroughs -- is (718) 557-1399, Monday-Friday 9am-5pm; say "APS" when prompted. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 instead.

Is New York City's Adult Protective Services structure different from the rest of the state?

Yes. Most of New York State runs APS county-by-county through each county's own Department of Social Services. New York City -- including Richmond County/Staten Island -- centralizes APS under the NYC Human Resources Administration (HRA), Office of Special Services, with borough-specific phone lines rather than five separate county-run agencies.

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.
