Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. In New York, this means an Adult Care Facility license with Assisted Living Residence (ALR) certification under 10 NYCRR Part 1001.

Questions families ask

My mom is 68 with a low income - does New York's ACA Medicaid expansion cover her nursing home or home care costs?

No. New York's 2014 ACA Medicaid expansion covers a different population: adults ages 19-64 without dependent children, up to 138% of the federal poverty level, with no asset test. Long-term care Medicaid for seniors is a completely separate eligibility pathway - it is asset and resource-tested, applies to people 65 and older or those needing institutional-level care, and is what actually covers nursing home care, MLTC, the ALP, and NHTD waiver services.

How much money can my spouse keep if I go on Medicaid for nursing home care in New York in 2026?

For 2026, the community spouse may generally keep the greater of the state minimum Community Spouse Resource Allowance ($74,820) or half of the couple's countable resources, up to the federal maximum of $162,660. The community spouse is also entitled to a Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance of $4,066.50 per month from the institutionalized spouse's income. These figures come from NYSDOH's GIS 26 MA/03 guidance, effective January 1, 2026.

How much spending money is a Medicaid nursing home resident allowed to keep each month in New York?

New York's Nursing Home Resident Personal Needs Allowance is $50 per month - the amount a Medicaid-funded nursing home resident is permitted to keep from their own income for personal expenses, with the rest going toward the cost of their care. According to the NY State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA), this figure has been unchanged since the 1980s, and NYSOFA notes that 33 other states currently pay a higher PNA, ranging from $52 to $200.
