Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Clearer prices for assisted living residents

New York assisted living residences must post cost and contract information online and in a clearly visible place inside. This includes starting monthly service rates, starting rent ranges, summaries of all service fees, and approved admission or residency agreements. The rule includes special needs and enhanced assisted living residences. Public disclosures use state forms that account for differences in licenses, services, contracts, and fees. Beginning January 1, 2025, residences must also report this information to the Department of Health.

Fixed assisted living inspection schedules removed

The law removes set inspection intervals for New York assisted living residences without naming a replacement schedule. The removed rules required inspections every 18 months for advanced-standing facilities and unannounced inspections at least yearly for others. Complaint-based inspections and investigations were outside that schedule. The Department of Health must develop quality scoring with industry and consumer input, including the long-term care ombudsman. Facilities scoring in the top 25% receive advanced standing for annual inspection scheduling and must keep meeting scoring requirements to retain it.

New quality reporting, later public results

All New York assisted living residences must report quality measures each year, with the first report due April 15, 2025. The Department of Health sets measures and reporting formats with industry and consumer input, including the long-term care ombudsman. The department must post results online by April 30, 2025, rather than January 31, delaying public access. By December 31, 2025, it must report to lawmakers on developing quality scoring for adult care facilities. That report must recommend quality measures and a collection process, covering adult homes and enriched housing providers.
