10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Brooklyn, NY

Answer a few questions to get personalized results
Who are you searching for?

As New York City’s most populous borough, Brooklyn unsurprisingly is right behind Queens as the borough with the most seniors over 65. With its waterfront attractions, culturally rich activities, and fascinating arts scene — and as the geographical center of NYC — Brooklyn enables easy access to surrounding boroughs. The borough offers unique memory care facilities for seniors with dementia.

Memory care communities offer seniors a safe and supportive environment with intentional design features, personalized care services, and specialized programming. Additionally, memory care communities offer care services similar to assisted living, like assistance with daily activities, medication management, meal plans, and more. In Brooklyn, the cost of memory care is around $9,435 per month. It’s slightly higher than assisted living because it offers specialized services and amenities for seniors with Alzheimer’s or other dementias, like 24-hour supervision, therapies, and brain-stimulating programs.

Depending on your circumstance, the following private pay options may help you pay for memory care:

Families can also take advantage of public payment methods like VA benefits, Medicare, and Medicaid to cover some memory care expenses in Brooklyn. You’ll find brief summaries of these three resources below.

VA benefits

Brooklyn is home to approximately 31,000 veterans and more than half of them are 65 or older.[03] To accommodate this substantial veteran population, Brooklyn and New York City provide a variety of resources to help veterans and their spouses cover living and long-term care costs, including memory care. We recommend reaching out to local veterans service organizations (VSOs) in Brooklyn to receive benefits counseling and learn more about your entitled benefits.

The NYC Department of Veterans’ Services recommends the following offices to seniors looking for VSOs in Brooklyn:

New York State Department of Veterans’ Services (DVS)

Medicare and Medicaid for memory care in Brooklyn

Medicare in Brooklyn

Medicare is a federal health insurance program that provides coverage to seniors 65 years of age and older. It doesn’t cover room and board costs for memory care in Brooklyn, but it can pay for medical costs — like doctors’ visits, prescriptions, and more — associated with long-term care. It can also cover some dementia-related tests, medical equipment, and treatments.

You can visit New York State’s consumer guide to community-based long term care to learn more about the city’s Medicare Savings Programs and the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Program.

To access Medicare services in Brooklyn, you can use this Social Security Office Locator to contact a local Social Security Administration (SSA) office. Type in the ZIP code and click on “I Need Other Services” to find the nearest office.

Medicaid in Brooklyn

Medicaid is a health insurance program that’s jointly funded by the federal and state governments. It provides coverage to low-income seniors and is called New York Medicaid in the state of New York. The following factors can affect one’s eligibility:[03]

  • Age
  • Disability
  • Income
  • Household/family size
  • Place of residence

New York Medicaid doesn’t pay for room and board in a Brooklyn memory care facility, but may cover medical costs provided in or outside of a facility. Some medical costs include doctors’ visits, immunizations, medicine, hospital stays, medical supplies, and more.

New York Medicaid for seniors with dementia

Qualifying seniors can also use the Specialized Needs Assisted Living Voucher Demonstration Program for Persons with Dementia (or SNALR) — a Medicaid program that prevents seniors with dementia from having to move out if they can no longer pay. This program only applies in participating facilities enrolled in the SNALR program.

To qualify for this voucher program in Brooklyn, a senior cannot be enrolled in or be eligible for New York Medicaid. Here’s the eligibility criteria for the SNALR program:

  • Be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia
  • Have lived at their memory care facility for at least one year
  • Have a monthly income of $7,382 or less
  • Meet the standards for the average regional monthly SNALR cost of $10,602 or less
    • Assets cannot be more than this cost over a six-month period
    • Assets over three months of this cost cannot be transferred for a year prior to the application

Care and amenities for memory care in Brooklyn

Brooklyn offers robust options to receive specialized care for dementia. From waterfront properties near Sheepshead Bay to the cozy communities nestled in the brownstone-lined neighborhoods, A Place for Mom offers options throughout the borough. Furthermore, the New York State Department of Health funds Alzheimer’s Disease Program Initiatives to provide services and resources to individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

All Brooklyn memory care communities within our partnering network offer two care options — assisted living and memory care. This allows residents to move in and receive help with daily care, while embracing an easy transition should cognitive impairments arise. Learn how our partnering Brooklyn memory care communities accommodate seniors with dementia below.

On-site care services for dementia patients

Many of our partnering memory care facilities typically offer the following services to accommodate common conditions and needs including:

  • Diabetic care
  • Urinary and bowel incontinence care
  • Hospice or palliative care
  • On-call doctors
  • Visiting podiatrists and dentists
  • Visiting rehabilitative therapists (physical, occupational, and speech)

Many memory care partners train staff to identify cues, redirect difficult behaviors, and manage disorientation symptoms. They also help prevent restlessness, pacing, and wandering among residents.

Dementia-specific activities

It often becomes difficult for seniors with dementia to participate in activities or have conversations like they used to. Therefore, it’s critical to help them engage and connect through purposeful activities. For instance, our memory care partners in Brooklyn help residents maintain calmness and engagement through brain-stimulating puzzles and relaxing activities like painting.

Memory care communities also offer sensory programs and reminiscence therapies to help residents fully engage and recall cherished memories. Plus, they offer stimulating activities like yoga, cooking classes, and gardening to help residents feel connected through creative outlets they enjoyed in the past.

Memory care laws and regulations in Brooklyn

The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) licenses and regulates all memory care facilities in Brooklyn and New York. The NYSDOH refers to assisted living and memory care as adult care facilities that provide housing to five or more adults at a time. Both facilities must receive an Assisted Living Residence (ALR) license to care for residents. To provide memory care services, an adult care facility must obtain a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence (SNALR) license in addition to an ALR.[04]

Regulations for New York memory care facilities

In New York, both assisted living and memory care facilities must provide the following to residents:[04]

  • Housing
  • Daily meals and snacks
  • 24-hour on-site monitoring
  • Personal care and/or home care services
  • Case management services
  • Individualized care plans

To operate with an ALR Special Needs license, an ALR must have the following:[05]

  • A suitable layout and design for dementia patients
  • An admission screening process and resident assessments
  • A staffing schedule and training program
  • Activities, meals, medication assistance, and case management designed for dementia patients
  • Emergency plan that accommodates a dementia population

Inspections for memory care facilities in New York

For memory care facilities, the NYDOH’s Adult Care Facilities division performs inspections on a yearly basis to help ensure quality and resident safety. You can access inspection reports for memory care facilities using this adult care facilities search tool.

Inspection reports include details on the following and more:[06]

  • Inspection dates
  • Violations found
  • Status of corrections for any violations
  • Any enforcement actions taken against the facility

Why do licensure and inspection reports matter to families?

State regulations — and a community’s track record with inspections and licensing — offer important insights into safety and quality of care in senior living communities.

Download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports to learn what to look for in inspection reports and what questions to ask when touring communities. This resource explains how to use state licensure and inspection information to evaluate a community’s compliance, care standards, and responsiveness to issues.
