Nursing and retirement homes need an operating certificate from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH). It is for facilities that offer continuing care for a fee. These places operate to improve quality of life, not to provide medical care.
To get a certificate, facilities must offer:
- Nursing services
- Help with daily tasks
- Home health services
- A meal plan
- Social services
- Independent living units
Operators should check the latest rules for adult care places in New York.
