Livingston specifically

Families here frequently compare Livingston to New Brighton, since both sit along the same stretch of Richmond Terrace.

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.

Questions families ask

Why doesn't CareScout publish a Staten Island or New York City-specific cost figure?

CareScout's Cost of Care Survey is designed and published at the state level only, across every state it covers -- there is no metro-specific breakout for New York City, Staten Island, or any other individual region within the state, from CareScout or from any other primary source we could locate.

What does the Long-Term Care Ombudsman actually do for a Staten Island family?

The ombudsman advocates for a resident of a long-term care facility, independent of the state regulator, and can attend care conferences with a family. It does not license, inspect or fine a facility -- that is NYSDOH's role. Staten Island's ombudsman coverage runs through CIDNY's NYC-region program at 1-888-855-9807.

How do I reach the Long-Term Care Ombudsman that covers Staten Island specifically?

Staten Island falls under the New York City region (Region 3) of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, sponsored by the Center for Independence of the Disabled, New York (CIDNY), reachable at 1-888-855-9807 or [email protected]. The statewide LTCOP hotline is 1-855-582-6769.
