Overview of Camphill Ghent
Camphill Ghent lists a swimming pool, tennis courts, a community garden, outdoor patios, outdoor dining, and a roster of group programming that includes choir, book club, meditation, poetry, and concerts. The facility is 31 beds, on Route 66 in Chatham, New York, in Columbia County, deep in the Hudson Valley.

State inspections are conducted by the New York Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care. The inspection focus area on record is dietary and food service, an operational category.
Camphill Ghent is a 31-bed assisted living community in rural Columbia County with a confirmed program of arts, outdoor life, group activities, and land-based engagement that sets it meaningfully apart from standard assisted living. It is a fit for adults who want a small, participatory community rather than a conventional care setting.
