Ghent Assisted Living sits at 1 Whittier Way in Ghent, New York, surrounded by quiet, wooded land, giving it a peaceful setting, and the community offers different living options like assisted living, independent living with optional support, skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, Alzheimer's and dementia care, memory care, and board and care homes for those who want a small, home-like setting. The facility has 120 beds, an occupancy rate around 95%, and is owned by Grnc Operating Llc as a for-profit corporation. Residents can choose from semi-private, studio, and one-bedroom suites in assisted living, with prices starting at $3,780 per month, and there's also continuing care for those who want to age in place with evolving care needs. Memory care includes 24-hour support, specialized programs, and activities to help those with cognitive impairments.
Care at Ghent Assisted Living aims to support daily living activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, and meals, with friendly aides and an open-door administration team for families, plus help with transportation to nearby restaurants, shops, and pharmacies. They offer skilled nursing with rehabilitation, wound care, respiratory and prosthetics help, treatment for brain injuries and comas, as well as therapeutic services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy provided by certified rehabilitation nurses, and there's easy access to Columbia Memorial Health Hospital and specialty clinics nearby. The facility provides a range of health support options, including physician and nursing services, pharmacy, clinical labs, dietary support, dental care, podiatry, X-rays, mental health, social work, and therapeutic activities. Residents take part in social events and programmatic activities, with 3.03 hours of daily activities per resident, and several common areas for gathering with others.
The average resident gets about 126.6 minutes of CNA care, 36 minutes of LPN/LVN time, and 30 minutes with a registered nurse each day, and the center keeps high COVID-19 vaccination coverage-88.6% for residents and 100% for staff. There are sprinklers throughout the building for safety. The administration stands out for their open-door policy and the teams focus on care that's compassionate and respectful, helping residents feel comfortable and supported. Quality and CMS ratings, though, are mixed; the overall CMS rating is 1 star, with long-term care at 2 stars, short-term care measures at 3 stars, staffing and quality measures both at 3 stars, but health inspections score just 1 star, so it's important for families to look into the details that matter most to them. The community participates in both Medicare and Medicaid and has provided services since 1992, but it doesn't belong to a continuing care community and isn't inside a hospital.
Both small home-like board and care homes and larger suites allow for different care levels, so residents can continue to live at Ghent Assisted Living as needs change, and the staff strives to personalize services for each individual, making it a place where safety and dignity remain important throughout every stage of care.
