Summary
Medicaid spending on social adult day centers in New York has skyrocketed nearly fourfold since 2018, with Flushing, Queens, hosting 64 centers per square mile — the highest concentration in the nation. Investigators are probing whether these facilities are truly serving seniors and people with disabilities — or if fraud is driving the surge. Hundreds of centers have already been investigated, with many referred to the Attorney General’s office. This crackdown is part of a broader effort to combat Medicaid fraud, echoing similar issues in hospices and childcare programs nationwide — all while balancing vital care with taxpayer accountability.
