Memory care
No assisted living, enhanced or special needs certification is on this home's certificate in the state file.
Southern Tier Meadows has no special needs (SNALR) or dementia beds on its certificate, so New York has not certified it for memory care. What memory care certification means.
A special needs assisted living residence (SNALR) serves people with special needs, including people with dementia or cognitive impairments, under an individualized service plan.health.ny.gov
An enhanced assisted living residence (EALR) lets residents age in place: it may admit or keep residents who need another person's physical help to walk or use stairs, depend on medical equipment and need frequent help from medical staff, or have chronic unmanaged incontinence.health.ny.gov
Costs
Southern Tier Meadows is not a licensed assisted living residence, so New York's posted-rate rule does not apply to it. Ask the home for its full rate sheet, including care level fees and any one-time community fee, before you sign.
Assisted living residents in New York have the right to written notice of any fee increase at least 45 days before it takes effect, unless they agree in writing to a specific increase for added care, services or supplies.health.ny.gov
Under Public Health Law section 4656(7), signed February 14, 2025, an assisted living residence must post its monthly service rate and starting rent range in the facility and online.health.ny.gov
