Memory care
| Certification on the operating certificate | Beds | Since |
|---|---|---|
| Assisted Living Residence (ALR) | 21 | August 2021 |

| Assisted Living Program (ALP) | 129 | August 2021 |
The Sentinel of Amsterdam, LLC 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
New York requires each assisted living residence to file a Consumer Summary with its starting rent for each licence and certification, and the Department of Health posts it. The Sentinel of Amsterdam, LLC's summary says:
