THE PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION CREATED BY THE PUBLIC HEALTH LAW APPLIES TO “RESIDENTIAL HEALTH CARE FACILITIES,” NOT TO “ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES” (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the Public Health Law 2801-d and 2803-c causes of action against defendant “assisted living facility” should have been dismissed. The private right of action created by the Public Health Law applies only to “residential health care facilities:

… [T]he plaintiff concedes that the facility in which Kramer was a resident was licensed as an “assisted living” facility, but asserts that it was operated as a de facto residential health care facility by virtue of the health-related services it provided, including management of medications, assistance with dressing and eating, and visits by nursing staff and physicians. Even accepting these allegations as true, they are insufficient to state a claim that the assisted living facility in which Kramer resided was a residential health care facility against which a private right of action pursuant to Public Health Law article 28 may be maintained (see Public Health Law § 2801[3] …). Broderick v Amber Ct. Assisted Living, 2021 NY Slip Op 06981, Second Dept 12-15-21
