What are the Different Assisted Living Models in New York State?
Adult Homes and Enriched Housing Programs are the two types of Adult Care Facilities licensed in New York. Both provide long-term residential care, including housekeeping, laundry, supervision, assistance with medications, personal care assistance, case management services, and structured activity programs. The law requires enriched housing programs to provide less supervision and meals than it requires in Adult Homes. However, many enriched housing programs provide the same amount of supervision and meals as their adult home counterparts. Generally, enriched housing programs have apartment-style living. Adult homes provide private and/or semi-private rooms.
