Questions families ask

Is there a local New York State office that oversees senior care facilities specifically on Long Island?

Yes. Long Island Adult Care Facilities fall under NYSDOH's Metropolitan Area Regional Office - Long Island (MARO-LI), located at 320 Carleton Avenue, Suite 5000, Central Islip, NY 11722, phone 631-851-3098. This regional office handles licensing oversight and inspections for Nassau and Suffolk County facilities rather than families needing to go through a statewide-only office.

Do I have to enroll in an MLTC plan for home care in Nassau or Suffolk County?

Yes - Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) enrollment is mandatory in both Nassau and Suffolk counties for dual-eligible Medicaid recipients age 21 and older who need community-based long-term care services for more than 120 days. NYSDOH extended mandatory MLTC enrollment to Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties beginning in the 2013 transition period, and that mandatory enrollment structure remains in effect. MLTC plans coordinate home care, adult day care, nursing home care, and related services through a single managed care plan rather than fee-for-service Medicaid.

What is the NHTD Medicaid waiver and could it help my parent stay out of a nursing home?

The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Medicaid Waiver is a federal 1915(c) Home and Community-Based Services waiver administered by NYSDOH through Regional Resource Development Centers. It helps Medicaid-eligible people age 65 and older, and younger people with physical disabilities, who have been assessed as needing nursing-home-level care receive services in the community instead, either transitioning out of a nursing facility or diverting from being admitted to one in the first place.
