Emergency Preparedness Program
New York State law requires that assisted living centers have a written emergency preparedness plan that details the procedures that must be followed in the event of an actual or threatened emergency or disaster that interrupts normal service. If you need assistance in developing a plan for your residence, please email Carla Erhartic.
