Navigating NYC area memory care?

My 93 year old mother-in-law has severe dementia (stage 6?) and is in nursing home rehab after a hospitalization. Next step is likely memory care facility or nursing home.
Is MC considered a subset of AL? Is a nursing home different than MC? It's all a bit confusing to navigate — and rehab apparently will only last 28 days which doesn't give us long to plan.
The nursing home rehab she's in has MC but it's unclear whether staying at the same facility is an option.
Can anyone help provide some clarity? Thanks in advance for any advice you might offer, particularly if there are nuances to care in NYC that I might not be aware of.
