City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Share of inspections that resulted in violations, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
Regulatory visits tied to complaints or allegations in the state file—not the same as every routine survey.
Total count of violations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of violations this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total violations ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.

Overview of Home of the Good Shepherd

Home of the Good Shepherd in Saratoga Springs, NY, offers nursing home and skilled nursing care. Assisted living and memory care are listed on the same license. Four levels of care share 42 licensed beds.

An assisted living resident here has staff for dressing, bathing, and medication. Skilled nursing means a licensed nurse is on the floor every hour, and overnight staff are included. Supervision and a secure space are what memory care provides around a resident at risk of wandering.

Because all four levels are licensed at the one address, a resident whose needs grow can move up without moving out. Recovery work is what rehabilitation services are listed for. Respite runs short and is booked around whatever takes the usual caregiver away.

Social events, exercise classes, and creative workshops fill out the calendar. Walker’s paradise is what a Walk Score of 97 means, and errands from this address do not need a car. The community is operated by The Church Aid of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Town of Saratoga Springs, Inc. The setting suits somebody whose dementia has reached the point of needing supervision.

Maplewood Commons

1015 Saw Mill River Road, Ardsley, NY 10502
Overview of Maplewood Commons

From one address in Ardsley, NY, Maplewood Commons runs independent living, memory care, nursing home care, assisted living, and skilled nursing.

Ongoing clinical support is what the nursing home and skilled nursing designations refer to. Where assisted living applies, staff take a share of bathing, dressing, and medication. Independent living carries the services and stops short of the care.

Memory care means supervision inside a secured space, where wandering is the risk. Because five levels are named on one license, a move up is a move within the same community. Respite is the booking a family makes around the days its caregiver cannot cover.

Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation is a named program here, so recovery work runs alongside the nursing. There are 80 beds, pets are allowed, and ATR New York LH, Inc. operates the place.

The Walk Score is 73, which is very walkable, and most errands can be walked to.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in New York State

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New York State?

Assisted living in New York State supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New York State?

Assisted living in New York State is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New York State Medicaid cover assisted living?

New York State Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New York State) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 374 assisted living facilities in New York State. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in New York State?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in New York State, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in New York State?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
