Questions families ask

We're running out of money to pay privately for my parent's care - what are our options?

Once private funds are running low, the relevant path for most Nassau and Suffolk families is long-term-care Medicaid, a separate, asset-tested eligibility pathway from general ACA Medicaid, which can cover nursing home care, Managed Long Term Care (MLTC)-coordinated home care, the Assisted Living Program (ALP), or NHTD waiver services, depending on the level of need. The county Office for the Aging (Nassau: 516-227-8900; Suffolk: 631-853-8200) is a starting point for understanding which of these pathways may apply.

How do we know it's actually time to move my parent out of their home?

There's no single trigger, but common signals include a recent fall or hospitalization, a new or worsening dementia diagnosis, the primary family caregiver reaching burnout, or private funds running low relative to ongoing care costs, any of which typically prompts a first call to the Nassau (516-227-8900) or Suffolk (631-853-8200) County Office for the Aging to understand available options before deciding.

What is Nassau County's Area Agency on Aging, and how do I reach them?

Nassau County's Area Agency on Aging is its Office for the Aging, part of the Department of Human Services, located at 60 Charles Lindbergh Blvd., Uniondale, NY 11553, phone 516-227-8900. Nassau was the first county government in the nation to establish a dedicated agency for its 60-plus population.
