Overview of Fredonia Place of Williamsville

Fredonia Place is an 84-bed enriched housing program located at 50 Howard Street, Fredonia, New York, Chautauqua County, operated by Water/Howard Associates, LLC. The facility holds certifications for Base ALR, Special Needs ALR (SNARL), and Enhanced ALR designations. Nursing services and licensed nurses and CNAs provide on-site clinical presence.

The regulatory record reflects volatility with recent improvement. The May 2024 renewal inspection cited 12 deficiencies spanning operating certificates, general provisions, admission standards, resident services, food service, environmental standards, disaster planning, medication management, and personnel. Subsequent inspections from late 2024 through January 2025 show substantial improvement, with the most recent inspection on January 31, 2025, finding zero deficiencies. The complaint rate of 7.1 per 100 occupied beds sits well below the New York state average of 49.9.

The facility averages 5.2 deficiencies per year over five years, marginally above the state average of 5.1. Recurring themes across inspections include medication management, resident services, personnel standards, admission protocols, environmental conditions, disaster planning, and records documentation. No enforcement actions have been recorded. The recent pattern of zero or minimal deficiencies across four consecutive inspections suggests corrective actions may be taking hold.

Assisted living, memory care, enhanced care services, and respite care are offered. Respite care enables families to evaluate the facility before committing to longer-term residence. The facility does not permit pets. Enhanced care services are available for residents requiring higher-acuity support.

Families should verify corrective action details from the May 2024 renewal inspection and confirm whether recent improvement represents sustained operational change.
