The Tottenville market specifically

Tottenville, at the southernmost point in New York State, has a well-used senior center on Main Street and a village-like character that shapes what families look for in a nearby community.

Tottenville's distance from the rest of the island means some families here end up considering Prince's Bay or even Annadale for a wider set of verified options.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

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

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.

Who is the Area Agency on Aging for Richmond County?

NYC Aging (DFTA, the New York City Department for the Aging) is the Area Agency on Aging covering all of Richmond County/Staten Island, reachable by dialing 311 within NYC or (212) 244-6469 from outside. The local NY Connects access point is the Community Agency for Senior Citizens (CASC), (718) 489-3954.

Is Richmond County under mandatory Managed Long Term Care enrollment?

Yes. Mandatory MLTC enrollment in New York City -- including Richmond County/Staten Island -- began under Medicaid Redesign Team Initiative #90, approved August 31, 2012. New York City was actually the first region in New York State to require mandatory MLTC enrollment, ahead of the later rollout on Long Island.
