Using New York's adult care facility directory

Make geography work for the person and their family.

Use the state directory as a starting point for identifying regulated providers and their listed programs. It does not replace direct confirmation of fit or an available room.

What to clarify

Match the exact facility and address, especially when brands have several locations. Ask the provider to explain terms you do not recognize.

A practical next step

Save the relevant listing with the date you checked it and a list of follow-up questions.

Questions to take with you

  • Is this the exact location?
  • Which programs are listed?
  • What should the provider clarify?

Turn answers into a next step

After your conversation, record what was confirmed, what still needs an answer, and who will follow up. Keep sensitive records in the appropriate private channel. These planning questions help organize a conversation; they do not replace a provider assessment or professional advice.
