COVID-19 has been detected in multiple communities around New York State. As a result, this
directive is being issued to direct all adult day health care programs to immediately suspend ALL
ADULT DAY HEALTH CARE PROGRAM SERVICES until further notice.
Please immediately provide formal notification of your program’s temporary suspension of service
to the required parties including, but not limited to, Registrants, Next of Kin, program staff,
physicians, long-term care ombudsman and Medicaid managed LTC providers. The notification will
serve to fulfill regulatory requirements of such temporary suspension of services.
Please take all of the necessary steps to assist registrants in identifying and finding services that
they may need to address their current needs and maintain record of such correspondence.
Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation in responding to COVID-19 concerns. Please
forward confirmation of program closure along with any general questions or comments about this
advisory to covidnuringhomeinfo@health.ny.gov.
