In New York State, homes that care for adults need a special certificate. This certificate is from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH).
Homes need this certificate if they:
- Care for five or more adults
- Run programs such as social day care and rehab services
These homes cannot give medical care.
As of January 1, 2025, new laws are in place to better manage homes for adults. Operators should review them as soon as possible.
