Questions families ask

I'm exhausted and I don't think I can keep doing this alone. What should I actually do?

Take the exhaustion seriously as a real, measurable risk factor -- caregiver strain predicts worse outcomes for both the caregiver and the person receiving care. Use respite and adult day health care before reaching a breaking point, contact NYC Aging (DFTA) through CASC for free local support programs, and get an outside, objective opinion on the current care plan.

What county is Staten Island, and does that matter for senior care planning?

Staten Island IS Richmond County -- New York City's smallest borough by population, at roughly 495,747 residents per the 2020 Census, and its only borough that is also a single, standalone county. That matters because every county-level resource on this site -- APS, the ombudsman, NY Connects -- applies uniformly across the whole borough.
