Mike serves all of Nassau County and can help you find communities close to family.

Is assisted living in Nassau County more expensive than Suffolk?

Generally, yes. Nassau County assisted living tends to be 10-20% higher than Suffolk County due to higher real estate costs and proximity to New York City.

Are there assisted living communities in Nassau County that accept Medicaid?

Yes, several Nassau County communities participate in New York's Assisted Living Program (ALP) and accept Medicaid. However, these spots can be limited and waitlists are common. Mike can identify current availability and help with the Medicaid application process.
