Overview of Fredonia Place
Fredonia Place sits at the center of Fredonia, New York, a small city in the western part of the state where Chautauqua County meets Lake Erie’s influence on the region’s character. The address on Howard Street earns a Walk Score of 75, meaning most everyday tasks are reachable on foot. For families making visits, that walkability is a practical detail worth noting.
The facility itself is an 84-bed Enriched Housing Program with three active New York State certifications: Base ALR, Special Needs ALR, and Enhanced ALR. Enhanced ALR status allows the facility to provide care at acuity levels beyond what a standard assisted living license covers. Combined with the Special Needs certification, Fredonia Place is equipped to serve residents with more complex needs than a typical assisted living community would be licensed to handle.
Fredonia Place specializes in assisted living alongside memory and dementia care, with respite stays also available. Services include rehabilitation, enhanced care, and nursing oversight provided by licensed nurses and CNAs. The respite option is worth flagging for families who need a structured short-term placement, whether following hospitalization or to support a family caregiver during a planned absence.
State oversight of New York assisted living programs falls to the Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care. Inspections at Fredonia Place have touched on medication management, an area that comes up frequently across the assisted living sector and one that families asking clinical questions during tours should address directly with staff. Fredonia Place is operated by Water/Howard Associates, LLC.
With its certification breadth and dementia care focus, Fredonia Place occupies a specific niche in Chautauqua County’s senior care landscape: it is a licensed, regulated option for residents whose care needs have moved beyond what a standard assisted living setting can support.
