How is Brookdale East Niskayuna listed on the state roster?

| License | Operating certificate | Certified capacity | ALR certifications (beds) | Opened | Residents, end of 2026 Q2 |

When 2026 Q2 closed, 47 people lived here in 52 certified beds, roughly 90% occupancy. The state lists CB Niskayuna Operator, Inc. as operator (business corporation). Licensing at this address goes back to 1997.
Which levels of care is Brookdale East Niskayuna certified to provide?
According to the state's quarterly capacity report, 52 beds carry Assisted Living Residence (ALR) certification; 52 are Enhanced ALR (EALR) beds, which let residents with heavier physical needs stay; 52 are Special Needs ALR (SNALR) beds for people living with dementia.
Treat each figure as a ceiling. If a building has 15 EALR beds, only 15 residents can receive enhanced care at a time, so ask how many are already taken. More on ALR, EALR and SNALR.
