Memory care is secured, dementia-specific assisted living. New York requires a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence (SNALR) certification — an add-on to an ALR license under 10 NYCRR Part 1001 — rather than a wholly separate memory-care license.

The Rockville Centre market specifically
Mercy Hospital (Catholic Health) sits in the village itself, and 20% of Rockville Centre residents are 65 or older per the 2020 Census -- one of the higher shares among Nassau's villages -- supporting a mature local senior-services market.
Rockville Centre families often compare Mercy Hospital's discharge-planning recommendations against options in Freeport or Long Beach before making a final decision.
Before you sign anything
Get the all-in monthly cost in writing at your parent's current assessed care level, ask what triggers the next care level and what it costs, and ask for the rate increase history across the last three years. Communities that will not put these in writing are telling you something.
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, which means a second move at the worst possible time.
