State-specific guidance
Using the licensing resources in New York
Use New York's Adult Care Facility Profiles to review the public identity and available inspection information for your operation. Keep the actual facility category clear in resident agreements and marketing. Organize inspection follow-up records and written service descriptions so a family can compare what is advertised with what the residence is approved and prepared to provide.
