Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. In New York, this means an Adult Care Facility license with Assisted Living Residence (ALR) certification under 10 NYCRR Part 1001.

The Hempstead market specifically

Nassau University Medical Center sits nearby in East Meadow, and the LIRR Hempstead Branch terminus makes this one of the more transit-accessible cities on this list. Housing stock skews older and denser than the South Shore villages, with real affordable senior housing already built into the village.

Families in Hempstead often weigh a move to a newer, private-pay community in nearby Garden City or Mineola against staying in Hempstead's existing, more affordable senior housing stock.

Questions families ask

What does adult day care cost in New York, and could it help delay a move to assisted living?

CareScout's 2025 Cost of Care Survey puts New York State's Adult Day Health Care median at $144 per day, or about $3,120 per month based on five days a week, $37,440 per year. That's up from $113 per day in the 2024 survey, an increase of roughly 27 percent year over year, the largest percentage jump among CareScout's surveyed New York categories.

Is there a separate published cost for memory care in New York?

No. CareScout's Cost of Care Survey, the primary published cost benchmark used on this site, does not survey or publish a distinct memory care cost category in either its 2024 or 2025 New York State data tables. CareScout only publishes figures for Assisted Living Community, Nursing Home (semi-private and private), Adult Day Health Care, and in-home care categories.

Is there a Long Island-specific senior care cost figure, or only a statewide number?

Only a statewide figure is published. CareScout confirms that its publicly downloadable National and State Data Tables report, the source for the cost figures cited throughout this site, provides state-level and national medians only. CareScout's underlying survey does collect metro-area (MSA-level) data that feeds its separate interactive online cost calculator, but that breakout is not included in the downloadable state tables.

Who is the Long-Term Care Ombudsman for Suffolk County, and what do they do?

Suffolk County's regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman Coordinator is Elizabeth Maxim, sponsored by Family Service League (FSL), 1444 Fifth Ave., Bay Shore, NY 11706, phone 631-470-6755. The Ombudsman Program advocates for residents in Suffolk County skilled nursing homes, assisted living, adult homes, and family-type homes for adults, and operates as part of the statewide Long Term Care Ombudsman Program housed within the NY State Office for the Aging.
